New Gardener

Ok well I've done some research and from what I've seen the miracle gro all purpose I just bought today was an epic fail. I was just wondering If I could get the names of some nice fertilizers and food I can find at a store like walmart. Oneeee moreeee thingggg, I wanted to know if I do grow it in a pot outside for faster growing once I get my light I can use the sun during the day and at night bring it inside and use the HPS?

Just use the MG at 1/4 strength to start out, but wait 30 days before using it. I would just grow outside, you will get more, then after you have grown one, the indoor will be successful. This is how i started and iv gotta pretty good understanding now. Plus this gives you time to get everything needed to do an indoor, right:hippy:

Good luck:rasta:

Thanks for the info guys appreciate your time. After further reading I heard MG makes a good plant, but some said it has a lot of bad chemicals, and the smoke coming off of it looks like cig smoke, I'm thinking about just going organic, or making my own. Any suggestions on making my own or a good organic soil and nutes, or should I stick to MG. Also I was thinking about a CFL box for the flowering stage. What sort of light would I want for that so far I know at least 45 watts under that it's useless, or so I read. Also Do they come in different light spectrum's and if so which are best for the veg stage and flowering.

STICK TO MIRACLE GRO! I mean it, after a few years of trying to get a decent plant using many different soils it just seems like the plants don't want to grow unless they are fed almost every watering, which is what you get with miracle gro. This is my first grow using miracle gro and water straight from the tap with no ph adjusting and my plant is perfectly healthy and literally 3 times bigger than my finished previous plants and it just started flowering. I don't know too much about organics but i do know that i tried miracle gro organic and it worked terribly. plant wouldn't go past an inch tall after a month. To me organic is a pain in the ass because it seems like the food is not readily available.
