I don´t know how advanced you are, but it is a good idea to germinate the seeds in smaller pots (they grow faster that way, and you go up in size during veg). I don´t know how “hot” that soil mix is, but usually for a 1/1/1 mix of peat/perlite/humus+compost you also ammend with some kelp, neem meal, crab shell meal and gypsum. These are not expensive as guano and other stuff and go a long way.
If that White Shark is mychorrizae, you don´t need to mix it with the soil. Just pust some a bit below where you plant the seed, it spreads with the roots. All mychos not in contact with roots are wasted.
You can see some discussion about this on this thread:
I wish you success with your grows!

Yes, i think it adds aeration to the roots and the plants like that, imho.

Get your name back ! Mia remember me a girl that I used to play some online games with that I miss a lot).
I am not an expert on soil, the closest thing that I did to soil was actually “soil-less” (wormcastings mixed with tiny expanded clay and perlite, top fed by teas / water).
If I remember, the mix was 40% castings, 40% expanded clay, 20% perlite, good aeration because I was the overwater king and this made the things easier to me.
But there are a lot of good advice here.

You’re right, more rare and mythical. I’m sorry that I understated.

The hydroponic store I always went to has closed down… Now I have to order stuff online… Or Jimmy rig shit. I always grew in 2 gallon bags… Never in buckets like I just planted. These bags are for maple syrup trees. I will cut them in half … perforate them … And try them out
I like the two gallon grow bags because they had folded flat bottoms… these Maple bags will have a lot of creases in the bottom which I don’t like. That means a lot of the roots will creep into creases and not be surrounded by as much soil / nutrients
What I’m worried about now is pH balance… I have to get something to measure that

No big strides yet… just a few critical hog planted. Cut the maple syrup bags down… I used to grow in 2 gallon bags… By the time I harvested… I would pull the stock out of the bag… It would just be one big root ball!.. Now I need to order nutrients online…
