Same here, Lee, I use this just for Amaryllid germinating seeds. And then as Charles mentioned, some still need different treatment. One of my Rhodophiala seed lots, as I always try and plant some straight into soil, that one actually did better in the soil than in the mix. Can't remember which one. Ina.
