Photo of Best mix for propagation?

Now 4 cents worth :) Mediums are the usual , coarse sand , perlite (fine and medium) coca peat , fine shredded foam etc and the bottom left has worm castings added for bit of a joke .

As I mentioned before the coarse sand on top of some trays is only to stop the seed blowing away ....

Unless I'm way off track , all these mixes need to do is stabilize and help with aeration and a bit of moisture retention until the second leaves form ?

This photo is of the same seed planted 30 days earlier (2nd leaf) and now "playing" with different liquid fertilizers .

It looks like the front tray needs a feed BUT is double planted . (Hmmm , so do I double dose it OR feed it twice as often ? )

Fun :)
