Any black soil with proper pH level (5.0 - 6.5) is alright.
Get some perlite too, mix it with your soil (80% soil, 20% perlite). Also make a perlite layer 1-2 cm thick at the bottom of your pot - it helps draining.

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?Setup. Substrates
