Hey guys,
MC here again. Question about my soil to use during the whole process. I was thinking to start germination in this soil and take me all the way through to harvesting. A couple questions will this soil work for that? And will I need to fertalize at all with this during growing? Here is the link to the soil:

Thanks guys let me know what everyone is thinking on this.

MC:thumbsup:

Some use MC and some of us call it MCDeath. MC likes to put weed-a-cide in the mix. Don't put seedlings or sprouts in it the ferts will burn them up. If you can get plants big enough in jiffy or peat starters then they will live and do good. Maybe you won't need ferts for a month or so but will need some to finish.

I never had a problem with Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting mix soil; plus 20% perlite. I germinate in it, veg in it and flower in it....
since 2005...:thumbsup:

Cheap, simple and to the point...the KISS principle.

As soon as seeds germinate, I put them in MG Organic (20% perlite mixed in). Not once have I seen any nute-burn symptoms.


]Maybe you won't need ferts for a month or so but will need some to finish.

Yes this is true; there should be enough nutes in there to feed for a month, roughly. Depending on how long you veg, you probably won't need veg-nutes.
