I like the miracle grow Moisture Control potting mix. The trick with mg is not to overwater and don't feed until the roots FILL the pot.

I dis like MG, but I do wonder how it would do for a outside grow. Being it has time release nutes and all.

As stated before Ocean Forest will do the job but it might be a little too "hot" for seedlings. You might want to try a soilless mix like Pro-Mix because the PH is already neutral and you can add bat guano, earth worm castings, etc. as you need them. And another good thing about Pro-Mix, if you use Advanced Nutrients the PH and PPM will be exactly what's on their schedule.
Hope that helps.

I have never had a problem with "Too Hot" and seedlings. But this time around I used fox farm Light Warrior. It already has perlite in it.

hey milky i had the same probs i used arthur bowers for my first grow. it was for sale in morrisons got the one with a low ph, hope this helps.
i also found this on compost corner so thought i would add it for you....
A bag of biobizz coco
A bag of worm humus, (I got Biobizz - you can use whatever is available)
A small (20l) bag of BioBizz pre-mix
A bag of perlite
The secret weapon is how we mix the "zingy" organic mixture.
Ratios are as follows;
Coco - 50%
Worm Humus - 25%
Pre-Mix - 5%
Perlite - 20%
and you can buy online.
good luck with your grow.
