this is bad ass Severian , lets see this thread all the way through veg and flower .
MG FTW ! haha , they look strong the mg ones

interesting experiment - i just wanted to ask what temps you were experiencing throughout the test?
because rich soils like FFOF will be richer and more likely to burn seedlings when the temps are warmer.
i once diluted my regular rich soil by half (with peat and perlite) to germ some seeds in and burnt the sh1t out of them. using regular soil for seedlins is something you will probably get away with 9 times out of 10 but not all the time

Air temps were on the low side and ranged from about 73 to 68. The soil was on a heating mat and I didn't measure.
I would lower the time frame (for noticeable differences) from 6 days to 5, maybe even 4 days. When I transferred the seedlings the root was just starting to break outside the rapid rooter and all seedlings could have rooted about 2-3 days longer without any side affects.
But at 4-5 days the nutrients in the MG and FF were already making themselves beneficial to the seedlings. With a typical 1 week rooting period, the MG or FF is clearly the superior medium - at least with PPP, C99, SSTH.
