Are you talking about MiracleGro pre-fertilized soil, or their separate line of fertilizers? If the former, keep in mind that their fert rates are very low, as noted above. If the latter, I don't use MG ferts...but rather Alaska brand, whose nitrogen is organic, but not their P & K, which are inorganic, of course.

I'm curious is all, since at this late date I can't really change anything.

Thanks you for the kind words, rattlingdags. The plants are a deep, lush green with no sign of nitrogen deficiency, and sturdy, dense, compact growth. I couldn't be happier with how they've developed so far. A 1000 watt grow light costs about a dollar per day to run on 12/12 (plus the cost of the lamp, hood, fan, etc.), so after considering a sealed room grow I rejected it in favor of the sunroom with "free" lighting. Yesterday was sunny, but the high temp outside was only 56°F/13°C. Inside the sunroom it stayed over 80°F/27°C all day from about 8:30am until just before sunset at 7:15pm. Nothing not to like about that!
