Now I've heard different folks talk like Miracle Grow is crap to use, but they are all over the charts as to what to use in it's place. I know there is some special food for the plants that helps flowering yet I can't find a name for something here in the USA that could work.
I also have another question about pesticides.... which would be good to use on my plants and not harmful to smoke later I know alot say the organics are the way to go but I was just wanting to see if I could get some feedback. I will post pictures of my grow later I put 18 down and have 10 up in just 4 days. I used something called Jiffy Mix (you can find it at Wal-Mart and it works like a champ) for seed germination and growth.

I don't know too much about the soil/fert, I just got some good topsoil and tomatoe fert, I do know that you want around 20-20-20(this also depends on what stages of the grow you're at).

About the pesticides...just get something that says safe for fruits/vegetables. And remember, anything you add to your plant/soil(fert, soil, chemicals, pesticides) that you're worried about tasting or smoking after the harvest and everything, just stop giving it to the plant 1-2 weeks before harvest.
