I love experiments!

Thank you for sharing : )

Keep us posted

Keriann~

I do too, and it looks like you can't argue with the evidence here that the MG seedlings are much bigger and healthier looking!

hmm, just started mine in Jiffy, darn. Lemme know how that other stuff works, interesting indeed.

PLEASE,PLEASE tell me how do you post the pictures directly in the forum?
I can't figure it out (deadhead). The only way I know is to post a link to my photo bucket account, but I would like to directly post on the forum!

THANKS! Sorry :-)

On photobucket, copy the HTML code line under your photo. Paste it in your message. Voila!

My next comparison was Miracle-Gro vs. Natural Beginnings seed starting mix from Gardens Alive.

{{gwi:235334}}
Chichiquelite Huckleberry - Gardens Alive left, Miracle-Gro right

Chichiquelite Huckleberry germination:
3/3 MG
1/3 GA

Ground Cherry germination:
4/6 MG
6/6 GA

No clear winner on germination, but long-term growth was better in the Gardens Alive mix. While results were pretty clear comparing Jiffy vs. Miracle-Gro, I will do some more comparison plantings between Miracle-Gro and Gardens Alive.

Obviously this is a very limited survey, your mileage may vary.

This is wonderful! Thanks for posting your experiments! I was just shopping for a new starter soil and was researching the GA mix. Definitely going the GA route. Thanks again for doing the "dirty" work :)

For those of us doing the slower growers how about starting some slow ones like Pentas? Al
