Is it to late to switch my seedlings potting soil from MG to something organic

true that, also is promix hp a good potting soil to get ? canadian tire is getting some in tomorrow was gonna pick some up possibly
From what I have read, that should be fine! A lot of people have their own preferences and like to amend soil or even build their own but I definitely think that should get you where you need to be especially for a beginner, and it’s definitely better than MG

Wait because transplanting in wet soil can make it harder to preserve the roots. It makes them more fragile

Hmmm I’ll let someone with a little more experience answer this because I’ve never grown with promix. But I use the fox farms nutrient line.

You could probably order it and be okay because you won’t need to start feeding your plant yet for a little while after you transplant it. Especially since it’s been in a nutrient rich soil

Transplant tip -
Usually you water 1 or 2 days before transplanting so that it isnt a wet mess but is still a nice solid mass that can he moved easily all in one piece.

Take your time. Search this site for sunshine promix #4 and read up on it and how it has been used successfully.

You will be rightfully proud when these girls take off in their new soil!

she’ll be fine just transplant and water.. if you had superthrive or b52 or something of a stress reliever than giver that with the transplant but just water in the new dirt is good

I haven’t used sunshine before however most soils have enough in them to supply the plant for min a few days kinda like an initial “charge”
