Should I wash the potting soil mix before sowing?

Going ahead with my first grow. Should I wash the potting mix before to remove impurities and dust particles, before I sow the sprouted seeds inside? The potting mix contains Coco Peat, Perlite, Organic Manure, Seaweed, and other beneficial microbes. Advice would be appreciated!

I soak mine and let it dry off like I was feeding plants then sow sometimes you can shock a seedling with rich nutrient soil

No, your soil should be good! If you want to let it “cure” in the pots before your seed for a few days that’s good! Use some microrrhizae

Hey friend, Good soil is always dirty.But not like garbage.For me, I will enhance my soil with EM solution or coconut water or others which can’t harm young seedling before planting rather than washing away of beneficials.Happy growing...
