Larry Badgeley Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Quick question folks. I am about to start some seeds. Would Tropic Bat Mix be too hot for the seeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFCHILD Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Well it's Guano added in that mix so I would imagine it may be a bit to hot/nutrient dense for seedlings, I would err on the side of caution and use a light mix/seedling mix if you have any kicking around and leave the Bat mix until you pot them up for the first time. I've not used Tropic bat mix and the above advice is just based on the fact that Guano usually makes for a pretty rich/hot mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Yes thought so. I have found some seedling mix. I'll use that. Thanks for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySoulIsMine Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 In the past I have used it and it took ages for the seeds to get going but they still made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I have used it before with seedlings, they were fine. I just wanted to see why people were saying the stuff is shit. I thought it was fantastic myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Badgeley Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Great guys thanks. I've just had a look at the potting mix and it's like concrete. Bat mix it is then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 1 hour ago, Larry Badgeley said: potting mix and it's like concrete. I bet its a bag of john innes seed/№. Manufacturers have obviously been phasing out the peat element and its shockingly bad these days, not fit to carry the name imho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilgePump Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Just straight Westlands seedling or was it a ji blend? Best pf seedling mix ive found is the green bag non ji levingtons example, its "ok" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 @BilgePump Can't tell you as I've put it back in the shed. Not even sure how old it is. I tried to break it up but it was like stone. Thanks anyway BP. Fingers crossed my Tropic mix works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
