What's the ideal potting soil mix for hydroponic vegetables?
I'm currently experimenting with a hydroponic setup for growing leafy greens, and Iām curious about incorporating some potting soil for seedlings before transferring them to the hydro system. I know that typical hydroponics relies on inert media, but I've read about using a soil mix to enhance initial growth. My garden is in a controlled indoor environment where I manage humidity and temperature carefully. I've tried a few commercial potting soils, but I'm not sure about the right blend or what specific components I should prioritize for my seedlings. Can anyone share insights on the best ingredients or ratios for a mix that would promote strong roots yet remain light enough for transplanting? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated! š±
