I find that it does not hold water very well and drys out to fast end up watering all the time instead of once a week

ive used that before if i did again i would mix in some jiffy seed starter mix or some verm. i like to use the jiffy seed starter mix and perlite as my soil. i hear people talk bad about the jiffy mix saying that it isnt good but ive had great success with it.

Right now it's in miracle gro seed starting soil. And so far its doing great. I was thinking I should just keep it in this soil. Good idea or no?

seed mix doesn't have alot of nutrients in it and as pointed out above dried out alot quicker than normal soil, You could grow in Seed mix but why not spend the little extra for some real soil and get better yields?

i used the seed mix just to start and i thought it worked great. when it was time to transplant most of the seed mix just fell of the roots and the transplant was very easy. they took to the new soil very quickly. no signs of stress. not sure i would want to do the whole process in it though.

Yes GOD, it will be fine just use this seed starter soil ! thats way you can control the nutrients for this plant...and hand watering daily, it will make your plant grow real faster. Since im soilless guy, gotta love this method :D

Jiffy is great for starting seeds but YES it does dry out really fast if you remove your dome. I found good results by mixing a 60 percent jiffy and 40 percent coco. My seeds were up in 48 hours and I plant straight in seed starting trays. I don't do the paper towel as I find it wastes a few days.
