Ok, here is why research is necessary. There are dozens of ways to grow. No two growers here grow exactly alike. Do some reading on soil, lights, nutriments.....exc. If you don't you will experience one crisis after another.

That is what I use. Good advice...now why do we use it? You need to know that.

It’s a weed…
You can spit on it and give it sun and it will grow…
The better you treat it the better it treats you.
All comes with time and advice from some of these OG growers and you will be growing dank in no time!

That works when you have good soil(it looks like you have good soil judging by your beautiful plantings). My side yard is fill from a neighbors in-ground pool. Rocks and sandy soil with very little loam. I have spent years trying to improve that fill with amendments and it is still pretty lousy. Where he or she has had bad starts, looking for a bagged soil will eliminate that variable. That being said, he said he is feeding the seedlings which someone earlier pointed out is likely burning the seedlings to a crisp.
They look soggy to me. Mine have done that when I started them in too-wet soil. The root needs to breath.
Anyway, it you're growing indoors, the threat of bugs from yard soil can't be overstated. If you get them in your grow space, they could be a problem with future grows as well.

Yeah I have never used my yard dirt inside or in pots outside. I use MG but I am thinking about trying some organic soils from home Depot.
Something easy like preloaded Fox farm happy frog or miracle grow plus addition of some perlite would be best for this first time grower i think.
Buy a bag of MG and a bag of perlite and a 1 gallon pot. Mix up the MG and perlite (reserves the extra soil for future transplant) fill the pot and plant the seedling once grown a bit larger (a couple of weeks at least when your plant gets some roots) under low light, not to much water and no nutrients.
after transplant, the soil will have enough nutrients to carry it until the next transplant where you can get a better look at the roots.
