TBH im not 100% sure. i would say tho it all depends on the ingredients in the potting soil mix. some people use jiffy starter seed mix. so i dont see a real big difference. but i could be wrong. why not go out and get you some? its only like $4 at lowes for a decent size bag

it might harbor some other plant life in the soil. i kno that sometimes i see potting soil just randomly start growing seeds on its own. BUT.. i honestly dont know. i kno verm is also chosen because of the airation it creates in the substrate. maybe get some others opinions first

potting soil is for casing layers not somethingto spawn to, use your coir for that and skip the casing layer or wait till your bulk is colonized
-------------------- It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn
