I have had terrific germination with brocoli using the Ultrasorb. As a matter of fact I have found everything so far has done much better than with normal seed starting mixes.
I have found that everything seems to be sprouting faster with the Ultrasorb than with other seed starting mixes except maybe lettuce which is always fast. The biggest difference was with spinach seed and cilantro. Both of them are usually slow sprouting in regular seed starting mixes but with the Ultrasorb both sprouted much faster with much higher germination rates.
It wont be long before I get to find out if it creates any problems when transplanting. I can tell it will have to be wet or it will just not hold to the roots when trying to transplant.
