Miracle GROW - FYI - the conversation

[Garden Knowm]

all the mg soils i tested were,including there prefer. soils,were ph 6.5..... imp:

hmm.. thanks buthead...

the soil I have used was closer to 5.0

It was the moisture holding/3 month nutrient... MG soil

What about their flowering ferts? I know a gal who bought some of their 0-52-0 (I think) stuff and it seems to be working out just fine so far. Has anyone had any experience with their flowering products?

[Garden Knowm]

their ferts are more reliable than their soil.. much more reliable..

Hey chowder for you...

I have attatched a picture of a single plant grown using CFL lighting that produced 3 ounces + of dry herb... : )

It was the easiest grow EVER.. and the book is coming out.. so you can replicate the process.

the main cola weighed 17 grams!!

the other 2 plants under the same CFL's produces 2.5 ounces each...

WOW you people are a bunch of skully wags, I dont care how good you are at growing and I dont care how much you know about soils and fetilizers.I use Miracle Grow soil and nutes and this was my first grow and I got 3 ounces from 1 plant.Not alot but for all the bad talk on Miracle Grow I think its pretty funny how you sit here and say how bad it is but really it isnt bad at all.

So for those of you that want to know if Miracle Grow is bad or not the answer is NO, it cant be all that bad if my plant did perfectly fine and I used florescent lighting so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

No hard feelings but again MG isnt bad at all,I will continue to use it for the rest of my grows just because I think its hilarious how people talk bad about it and I can show them pictures of my grow and shove it in there face's.

Well, I dont disagree that MG can produce some fine bud. However, I look at it this way. I am a big beer fan. When I brew my own beer, I have a ton of choices in what ingrediants to use and their quality. No, if I just wanted to get drunk and not really care about the finer points of the beer's taste, this can be done cheaply and easily. But if I want that refined special taste that shows how much time Ive invested, it costs more money and takes more effort. If you want the best product you can get, that doesnt just get the job done but tastes and smells amazing while doing so...then you need to use a better soil. MG is just not made for a plant your going to smoke. Just because your bud is huge and crystally doesnt mean its what I consider good. Ive seen awesome bud that tasted like shit. To me...taste is far more important then quanity or ease of use.

interesting points,
im using miracle grow ( "moisture control compost for pots and baskets" if anyones interested ) an i think its fine, good even.

i dont doubt there are better pre-mixes or home made soil combos for a second, but its certainly not the poison that it gets made out to be.
What people forget is that MG is a very versatile soil, aimed at a very wide market, so while its good for most types of plant, its never going to beat a soil designed for a specific species.

to use an analogy, fitting a high power sports car with £45 tyres work fine if you drive on the road and keep to the speed limits. if you want to go round corners faster you need a more specific sport tyre.

also, i cant see whats wrong with the MG reps responce, all they can tell you is the ph at the time of manfacture, which, as they rightly point out, is liable to change once its been stored for any length of time, or gets anything added to it by the consumer.

i thought it was a very helpfull and informed suggestion to check the ph at local outlets if ( unlike you average tulip growing MG customer ) you have more precice ph requirements.....lets face it, if your realy so concernd about decimal points of ph, you shoud be making your own soil mixes anyway.
