First I would like to say hello to everyone here and thanks for all the great learning i have been doing by reading your informative posts.

I have a 17 day old from seed and looks to be doing well, but I was thinking that it was time to give her (hopefully) a new home in a larger pot. The soil I used was miracle grow organic (I know im ready for the beating). This soil stays very wet with terrible drainage. From what I have read was to always use the same type of soil or medium when you transplant. But I would like to make a better mix with a little more perlite and potting soil with some of the same miracle grow so that it wont be a complete change. Would this be wise to do, or do I need to use the same soil without the mix? I would like to go this route so for ovious reasons better drainage, better controlability for nutes, etc

Thanks for your help

Please forgive me the pics were from the cell phone

That little bit of soil shouldn't make a difference. I'm new as well so take this for what you paid for it but I'd repot into some soil that's mixed a bit better for drainage.

I started in jiffy cups and set those into a 75%perlite 25% vermiculite mix.

Thanks for your help Girdweed, but I have to be honest as im a little nervous as it seems to be happy at this time, but i know that it needs to be in something larger soon
