“Miracle-Gro Soil is Fine for Growing Marijuana.. Not"
Many of us have grown up seeing Miracle-Gro being used in our homes,
so we know that it works for ‘regular houseplants’.
Cannabis is just a tough weed, so Miracle-Gro should be great for it, right?
Not really.. say the guys at GrowWeedEasy
The issue with the standard Miracle-Gro nutrient formula is that it’s one formula
for the entirety of the plants life cycle. Even if Miracle-Gro soil is okay for the beginning
of your plant's life, it may not be as good in the flowering stage.
The ratio of nutrients your plants need changes drastically between seedling and
full flower, and marijuana needs a nutrient system to accommodate
for those changing nutrient needs.
The original soil blend by Miracle-Gro has poor drainage and its slow-release
Nitrogen can harm your cannabis plants and reduce yields in the flowering stage.
Many growers find it has poor drainage and water-holding capability
compared to better soil. But the main problem is that the standard Miracle-Gro soil
contains "time-released" nutrients which contain high levels of Nitrogen.
As a result, you may notice that your leaves in the flowering stage unexpectedly
get nutrient burn or nitrogen toxicities out of nowhere,
and can lead to an unpleasant or chemical taste in your buds.
The low levels of Potassium and Phosphorus means your buds
may not grow as big as they could have
