You should get some inert perlite for your soil FFOF is very hot and can cause issues for seedlings. I use FF Happy Frog and mi it 3:1 with perlite. I would suggest at least the same mix. So you have no nutes yet?

Too hot meaning it contains a lot of extra nutes and IMHO needs to be well buffered with perlite. In the solo cups I would do 50/50.

I do 3:1 70/30 but ya that is good. i always go from seedling pot to finishing pot. That way I only transplant 1 time the entire grow. If you do it this way just becareful with watering. I use 3 gallon grow bags. When I water the first couple of weeks I only give them about 1 qt. I alaways let them get pretty dry between waterings. That way the roots will grow out searching for moisture. When you plant your seedlings. Mix your medium and flush it and then let it drain for several hours. If you are using 16 oz solo cups use about 1 qt of water per to flush. Obviosly making sure you have drainage holes at the bottom. Once they sprout, I only give them about a shot glass of water every other day. Again making the roots stregthen. When you can see root tips coming out of the holes it is time to transplant. Again flush the medium with about 2-3 times the water as you have soil (in my 3 gal, I flush with 5 gal). I let it drain for 24 hours. Then transplant I don't start feeding until about 4 weeks after. That should give you a good 6-8 weeks before you need to start nutes. Feel free to PM if you have any questions.

dont worry about FFOF being to hot. yes it already has nutrients....soooo just use plain water the first 2-3 weeks, you'll notice the build up of nutrients on your bottom pan

ONE SEED SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE! Its been 24 hours and i checked my seeds. so its 1 of 15. The seed that germinated was Nirvana PPP. I moved my seeds right next to a heat vent so im hoping it will improve there chances of germinating. Before I was storing them it wasnt warm at all. When i would touch the paper towels...they would be cold from the water. But heres a pic of Nirvana-PPP showing signs of life
