Miracle grow soil

[FlaTransplant]

Personally, I'd cut it with about30% perlite and 30%- 50% Peat Moss... I also flush the MG with water to get out the nutes (a bit)

[ForgetClassC]

The nutes in MG are time release, so flushing them wouldn't do anything but possibly release even more nutes. I admint, it was a little strong for my little girls, but they eventually got past it and turned a nice dark green. When they came up, they were a bit yellow.

Don not use MG. The soil is often very old and/or infested with pests. Plus the ingredients used to make the soil contain toxic chemicals and carcinogens. The saw dust used in MG comes from furniture manufacturers, and I have seen pieces of pressure treated lumber in MG soil myself. PT lumber is treated with arsenic.

yea don't use miracle grow soil if you want smoke sure if you want a fine smoke no. the chems actually affect the flavor, taste and cough. it will grow but not as clean of a grow. but like others said perilite 20-30%. now they have organic M-grow I don't know much about it, might be better.:thumbsup:

I use MG, it works good. I suspect anyone having trouble with it just cannot resist adding nutes during the first few months. For me using just water until flowering, then adding a flowering formula at very low dosage works just fine.

I have two females flowering females that are in the mg soil and the rest of my plants are in fox farms. This is really random but the two in the MG soil are wayyyyy greener than my other ones. The leaves on the other plants are starting to yellow a little(which is normal im the latter stages of flowering) , but the MG soil keeps them nice and green.

what you are saying about M-G soil is not what the best growers in the world say about it, from what they say miracle grow does not make the finest grow but will work. but not recommended for great strains or seeds for the most potential product. like i said dose your smoke win cannabis cups grown in M-G soil... NO because its not the best, but it works. look up danny dankos soil mix.
it is awesome, and is not fox farm. you have to mix a costly amount of organic additions compiled to have the best ORGANIC grow.

A. good seeds
B. good grow medium
C. good light
D. good grower

now hydro i disagree with but that's just me, the taste and favor and quality is forced and is not natural. you can have a fillet steak but organic fillets are better tasting. same as with cannabis the more organic you keep it wont make supper yields but super quality so it depends, do you want pounds of ok smoke or a smaller amount of great smoke. its up to you really.:thumbsup:

Read the ingredients! MG Organic contains Ammonium Nitrate. If you are looking for some organic yields MG is anything but. Ammonium Nitrate is the bi-product of ammonia and nitric acid! It is contains high levels of nitrogen that some industrial farms use in fields because of it cost effectiveness.

It is also the main ingredient is the Oklahoma City Bombings!!!!!!! Why would you ever want to put something in your body that was used to kill of 160 people ????? The only organic ingredient in the whole mix is the chicken shit they add to give it organic name. If it was really organic, it would have the OMRI stamp on the cover of the bag. As a base MG is far to dense anyway, roots need more air and texture then the packed soil MG makes. There are several other brands that can be bought at any hardware or garden shop that don't contain bomb ingredients. Just read the ingredients before purchasing!!!! Of course MG will grow almost anything you plant in it but do you really want to ingest chemicals used to make bombs?

Some of us folks are not into marching in lockstep to the "organic is best" drumbeat, anyway. More expensive, sure. But best...? I'm not convinced the differences would even be detectable. Plus, there are certain advantages to using non-organic. Organic is slow in breakdown, uptake and response. Chemicals are already broken-down, and the plant's uptake and response are much quicker.

ROFLMAO - Weird yet anal connection, but the truth is...MG works fine if you add the perlite, (especially in the cooler months) and use common sense insofar as fertilizing goes. I learned the ins-n-outs of growing cannabis with nothing but MG soil and MG All Purpose nutes. (Alaska ferts for flower) Was the best I could find locally, but I used it quite successfully for a few years.

Are you afraid of smoking Cherry Bomb, too, lol?
