Remember that these are weeds, not veggies. The nutritional needs are a bit different, but I am thinking you will be able to adjust just fine. As a brand new grower, I also started out with the Miracle Grow and it really made things more difficult for me along with all the other things I was doing wrong. I have grown a little veggie garden outside for years and thought that I had it all figured out... until I met the weed and tried to grow it indoors. I am curious to see what you conclude about this as your grow continues.
What I have realized in my time here is that there is a science to be learned behind all this growing too. Its one thing to grow a successful plant. Its quite another to optimize that growing situation so that the plant produces the biggest, tastiest and most powerful harvest that it is genetically capable of. This requires going a bit beyond the simple and dialing in the proper PH vs nutrient load currently being supplied, optimal temperatures and even light periods, humidity and trace minerals in the water. There are so very many things to consider, and so many ideas being tried all the time to make things even better. Some are experimenting with electrifying the soil to increase yields. Hydroponic systems are being used by some to supercharge growing conditions. Its crazy sometimes just how much information is out there about these particular plants.
My point is, I am sure that from the sounds of your growing experience that you will have no trouble growing this finicky little weed. But now I challenge you to read about some of the amazing things being discussed here on the board regarding the advanced growing techniques. Find here, an extension to your gardening hobby as I have, a desire to learn what it is that these strains available today need in order to develop into what they deserve to be, prize winning samples of genetic science. Anyone can grow a tomato, but what if someone gave you a clone of THE very tastiest tomato ever grown? I bet you would do whatever it took to give this beauty everything it wanted. This is what your coop sold you. Top of the line genetics. Now its up to you to bring it to its potential. Good luck and have fun with it! :thumbsup:
