I'll take one of those Coco pellets because I use soil that's 6.5 pH and it's hot enough pretty much veg so I smoked one of those Coco pellets you could use a jiffy pellet and I cut the bottom of it out with my fisks scissors and then I dig a little hole and put it right in with my soil in the center and start my seedling that way
But you'll be okay just going right into your soil as long as it's not super hot what kind of soil are you using what kind of grow medium
