Newbie with a soil question

[xxxnick89xxx]

after germination of my seeds i was goin to put them in paper cups using tap water or poland springs( what do you think? ) and a plain jane seeding potting soil. Then after a couple of weeks or so once i hit the vegg stage was going to transport to MG 3 month. Will this feed my plant through the vegg and the flowering or should I invest in some other fertilizers?

good question :thumbsup: ... this is where beginning growers screw up their plants ... yes, your plant will be getting it's nutrients from the soil, but may benefit from more 'food' ... don't fertilize at all, the first 2 weeks ... then, after 2 weeks, I suggest you use a good, mild fertilizer, and half-dose it, once per week ... it's always easier to add more, than try to correct an over-fed plant ... Fox Farm is my current favorite, but the BEST plants I've ever seen in my life, thrived on plain, old Miracle-Grow :wtf: ... whatever you can afford, but don't hesitate to dilute from label instructions, with any product ... good luck :jointsmile

Okay so the MG will work but will it feed my plant for 3 months like it says on the bag or at some point in the grow cycle alter it with another fertilizer.

Um, you are talking about timed release fertilizer.

That's my only beef with MG.

If used properly, yes, it will feed for 3 months.
That's where folks generate bad press for MG.
They try to "alter it with another fertilizer".

Bad idea!
If you use MG. Trust it.
Trying to alter is ill advised.
If you want full "nute control" it's best to start with a neutral medium.:twocents:
