miracle gro is good stuff if you get the right kind... however, DO NOT START SEEDLINGS IN MG SOIL!! YOUR PLANTS WILL DIE!!! mg soil is too rich for baby plants. i start mine in a 1 litre pot of bacto starter soil, then transplant to mg garden soil additive after 2 weeks of veg. nutes in the soil generally last until flower.

as for mg nutes; make sure you get a kind that is safe to use on garden vegetables. these have no trace elements or additives. i use all purpose plant food for veg, 24 8 16.

for pots, you'll need a 3 gallon pot per plant.

now you need to study up on lights. what is your budget like? i use ge daylight flourecent tubes for veg, they work wonders.

hope this helps,

love, kp
