Actually I use this stuff with great success. Be sure to add perlite. I like to add a little jiffy mix in with it too just to lighten it up and make it easier for roots to form. You will need to make sure you use nutrients as there is none added already. Start with light doses (1/16 to 1/ and then move up from there. do not feed seedlings at all until they have their first set of serrated 5 leafs and make sure its really light. I use Miracle Grow all Purpose for veg and MG super Bloom. When they are younger I use Alaska Fish Emulsion. Just follow directions and pay attention to your plants. Feed every other watering or just once a week if you are watering alot.

Well, what am i supposed to feed them to get the right nutrients into the soil, i figure i should ask you because u have experience with it, but, i dont see how it could not have nutrients, with all the mulch like product all through it, like the wood peices and stuff

It has some, but not like other soils that already have a bunch added to it. It is pretty much mostly peet moss. It works out much better mixed with 8 cups of perlite and 8 cups of jiffy mix to every 40lb bag of hyponex.
As I said, just buy some MG all purpose liquid fert (NPK 28-18-6.. I think) and feed according to the directions for indoor plants. Or if you want to be really safe feed them ALASKA Fish Emulsion (NPK 5-1-1) You will get the feel for it in time as you grow, just start out with 1/8 of the recommended dose.
It would also be wise to read pretty much everything in the grow FAQ before getting too far along. You will need to make sure you have much more than just the right potting soil. Honestly as long as the plant is getting what it needs it doesn't care what the hell soil its in. Hope that helps.

I really think you need to read the FAQ:
GROWFAQ

Also this thread:

Jiffy mix is sold as a seed starter medium. It is a really light/fine soil that will allow roots to pass through it and grow easily. You will be fine without but things may take a little more time. Do you have a designated space, lights, timers, fans, filters etc..?

Starting out with light doses of nutrients on small plants is wise as too much nutrients and the plant will burn and if burned bad enough can die.

I Can see you haven't done much research into the matter. Growing takes time, money and tons of patience. Not to mention pouring over grow books and grow guides, journals etc. Good soil will not save a plant if the environment isn't right.

I'm not saying this to be a dick. If you want to see good results you will have to supply a lot of things for your plants to be happy.

And i plan on doing whatever is needed, i have no lights, these will be outdoor plants. right now there in my window feeding off sunlight, and also luckily 4 me around here i could literally not pay attention and grow a plant. but i want them 2 turn out good. and i have a fan, but im not gonna use it until they start to come up. and i have been reading the FAQ.
