Ricky,
I hope its not too late to tell you that the General Hydro brick is nothing like the Plant!T Chips. I have bought a brick of the General Hydro and its almost entirely "peat-ish" with some fine strands. I am using the "Grow!T" brand which is the same as the "Plant!T" brand. Why they have 2 different brands is beyond me.
Anyways, for the GH brand, you will have to add something else to encourage drainage. A small amount of perlite or another brand of chips. But I will say for seed starting, the fine strands and peatish texture are great.
