I always hear that "light" potting mixes with no or little nutes are best for seedlings.
The potting mixes I can buy in stores here are all great, but they're pre-fertilized like pretty much any potting mix. (I don't see any special light or seedling mixes, unless I buy online)
My thought is, can't I just put this normal potting mix in a pot and flush it with plenty of water from the hose, and then it flushes out all the nutes and salts and I get "light" potting mix?
Anyone did this already?
