If there's fertilizer in the mix, don't add any, it's enough until they go out into the garden. If you're not having any problems with damping off and your seedlings otherwise look healthy, you're probably fine without anything else. I started using it because of fungusy plants and still like my results enough to keep it up even though I've fixed the other causes (too cold, not enough light). I do think that the peroxide plus a drop of Superthrive give my plants a boost, but that doesn't mean you won't get results any other way. Plants want to grow, after all.

I had a lot of trouble with coir earlier this spring. Try a different seed starting mix. I've been adding lots of vermiculite to Miracle Grow (not liked much on this thread, but all I could find locally), which has helped a lot to lighten it. Look up the thread, follow links to previous posts, and you will see lots of info on what people are using, Good luck!!!!!

Celene, plenty of yellow... do I have anything else you want? :)
