Fosho i appreciate it !! I got that merical grow should i just stick with that for now. And watering what do u recommend ? How often?
Watering is best done on as "as needed" basis, not a set routine unless you are going to automate it with drippers. Since you are new, here's what I would do.
1) stick your index finger in the dirt down to about 2" and feel if it is wet/moist/dry
2) wait until it is actually dry
3) water *thoroughly* until you get some runoff, I like to go slowly so I make sure it is penetrating the dirt and not just dumping out the sides/drain holes.
4) Most important! Pickup the newly watered plant, and feel how heavy it is with a full water load. Now you can just lift and check the pot to see if she needs water or not instead of sticking your finger in each time. Might switch back and forth as she gets larger etc.
Which specific miracle grow soil did you get, can we get a shot of the bag? They make a ton of different products. Personally I would just leave it alone so you don't disturb the roots again so soon. In 1-2 weeks once the transplant shock has worn off you can up pot to a bigger container with some better quality soil. Unless the picture you posted is how you got it, in which case yeah I'd return the miracle grow and get your money back if you can. Probably have to pay a bit more and find a hydro store to get any FoxFarms soils or similar.
