No matter what soil you use, add 20% perlite to the soil..(mix well)..in pots with very good drainage holes. The water should go in the top and mostly all drain out, within 30 minutes.

Then, don't water again until it's bone dry. Smaller 2 gallon pots for example dry out pretty quick with fast growing plants. 5 gallon pots might stay wet for a week?...or more...especially with weak lighting.
Dutch Pimp Reviewed by Dutch Pimp on . question about new miracle gro soil I used miracle gro all purpose potting soil on my previous grow and yesterday i picked up a bag and noticed that the osmocote has been replaced with a new kind of time released food. The new food is round white/clear balls that vary in size and when you squeeze them a little they pop releasing a clear liquid. Does anyone have any experience with this new miracle gro? it seems as though all the food would be released at one time once the shell of the food disolves. Rating: 5
