so, I bought some jiffy seed starting mix. It's a blend of peat moss, lime and vermiculite. Is this good enough for a full grow as long as I add fertilizer?

Nothing beets buying a good quality potting mix. I recommend Black Gold Organic potting mix, but there are a lot out there. I never use jiffy seed starting mix before, but it sounds like it would be good for starting seeds only.

You don't want your soil to be too rich when they're small.
I use a basic potting mix that I buy from one of the hydro stores that I go to for vegging.
Once they've established a good root structure I transplant them into a much stronger soil. Like Foxfarms.

so, no one can answer my question? I'm just going to buy some peat humus from southern states and cut the jiffy mix with that...I don't have hydro stores or any place like that. I have lowes and southern states.

No one is answering your question because the answer is in your question and right in front of your face.

Seed starter mix is for.....thats right deep frying frozen steam! Either that or its for STARTING SEEDS!!!!

You also did a very thorough search considering 2 weeks ago i posted a warning to people to not use seedling starter mix for vegging plants because most of the plants' energy will be used for making roots, not stems and leaves.

sorry I missed a post of yours dude....I'll be sure to make sure I read every post from now on. From what I've gathered the only difference from what I have to what I need is, either compost or peat humus. So theoretically I CAN use this soil if I add to it. Listen, there's no need to talk down to people. you're a douche.
