I made the mistake of starting my plants in Miracle-Gro "enriched" potting soil. I knew dam well that straight soil would be better (MG is just downright nasty stuff!!) to start because they don't even need "enrichment" for the first 2-3 weeks. Anyway they came up fine except for the F@#$ing chem burns on my babie's leaves as the roots found little "enrichment" balls..... Thank god they are in 4" pots as they will all be transplanted into Fox Farm's Ocean Forest soil where they should have been to start. This soil is great for just about anything and won't need to be suplimented for the first 3-4 weeks. After that I'd try and find a nice liquid 2-3 part (hopefully organic!!!!) fertilizer. Happy growing...........
