Can i use outdoor potting mix for indoor plants?

I've got some seedlings in seedling mix right now and their cotyledons are starting to yellow so i bought some potting mix with time release nutes that says "Ideal for all outdoor plant" because it had a 70% discount. It is for pot plants that you put on your deck. Would this be OK? if it isn't would i be able to keep them in the seedling mix and liquid feed?

    Yes that will work fine, although if it has time release fertilizing pellets it won't need liquid feed for a fairly long time.

    -You CAN... -But BeWARE !! Outdoor Mix often has Weed Seeds in it. So if you end up seeing stuff growing in your Pots that SHOULDN'T "BE There"- Then You'll know- "Why" !! :)
