Sun gro® horticulture is the manufacturer of black gold® seedling mix. Black gold has amazing wicking ability and my seeds germinate with out issues.
Cons
It is almost impossible to keep this mix moist once seeds have germinated. It gets * easily compared to cheap top soil.
Highlights
Quality
Have had zero problems with any fungus or mold when starting seeds with this mix and they take off growing pretty fast once they germinate
This is high quality seed starting mix
I had purchased some strawberry seeds that received terrible reviews because of a poor germination rate
I usd this just a few days ago and have a near 100 germination rate within a couple days
Price
I was hesitant about paying significantly more for this seed starting soil over a bag from a local hardware store but i’m glad i did
Expensive but works well for my seedlings
Shipping
She was very nice and has shipped the missing bag to me
Glad i got these early on and my seeds have sprouted quickly with them
Im excited the seedlings came up so quick
Competitiveness
I ran out of this seedling mix and used another brand definitely notice a difference in the soil quality
I can honestly say that that in comparison to any seedling mixes potting soils or garden soil this is the best stuff out there
Not any little sticks or clumps that ive experienced in other brands
I made the mistake of purchasing another big name brand and deeply regretted that purchase
