    Walmart Soil

    I did a comparison with FFOF, which I like a lot and have used for a couple years now. The MG (I used "Miracle Grow Organic Choice" which I bought at a Home Depot / Lowe's type place) produced results virtually indistinguishable from the Fox Farm. And this was in some real slow flowering sativa so the soil got a good workout for months.

    Unfortunately, those stores store the stuff outside where the bugs can get in it. I got fungus gnats out the ying-yang. Heard this is not unusual. Doesn't seem to be the dirt's fault, but I don't use it inside any more. For potted plants and container gardening outside I'd still use it if I needed dirt, except usually I've got dirt to recycle from the indoor garden.

    I suppose you could sterilize it.

    Make sure it comes in a sealed bag, otherwise there is a good chance there will be fly's/bugs in it.

    Just 'cause its a $1.89, doesn't mean its a good deal.

    Most of MG soild are have time release nutes which are of no use. Try and hit a nursery if you can. They'll have good ptting soil. If they have SUN-Gro Sunshine Mix #4 try that.

    I usually use a dollar store brand of soil I mix with a top soil but the mg organic kinda caught my eye and was just wondering. I'm looking for a new soil because they no longer sell the soil I was used to.

    If you've tried MG and failed, it was not the soil. :jointsmile:

    Having tried both SuperSoil and Miracle Grow Moisture Control...I'd go with the MG every time. For me, Supersoil has always been too chunky, inconsistent, prone to bugs, is usually too dry, and you still have to add perlite. MG takes a little getting used to, but that can be said about any potting mix and despite the negative comments, it's fine for using in a cannabis garden. The main problem here (locally) is the price. During humid periods you'll want to add some perlite in the mix so the moisture retention properties aren't a big issue.

    MG does not adversely affect flavors nor quality if properly used. You'll want a good set of veg and flower nutes pretty soon though. :thumbsup:

    Is there anyway to flush the nutes out of mg soil before use.
