Nutes and miracle gro I need help

[Drewww_SeHTx]

Hey I’m using miracle gro potting soil says it feeds up to 6 months Ik y’all say it’s bad soil and I heard ur not supposed to use nutes in that soil. Would like someone to just clarify and kinda help and guide me in the right direction. I’m broke rn so won’t be getting different soil for a while and I got fox farm nutrients. Plants are 19 days old

I wouldn't use any nutes until flowering, even then I'd only do half strength.

That’s it bro no other shit just 1/2 nutes during flower

What should my PH be watering during beh

 

[Nickcg123]

Correct. that soil is extremely nutrient rich So adding more nutes in the vegetative stage is not a good idea.

 

[Nickcg123]

Between 6-6.5
I like to stay around 6.3

One of the most important things is to realize when you water you are releasing nutrients. So run as dry as you can and good luck.

Here is a pH chart.

Interested to see this. My very first grow was MG soil all throughout the grow and CFLs . I don't remember how it turned out but I think not bad. You might come into problem in flower, tho I'm not sure why. Something to do with the slow release nutes being high in nitrogen I believe

Wym “So run as dry as you can”

He means water the least often you can. Allow the soil to completely dry before next watering, you should be doing that regardless so your roots search for water and create at nice root structure

Okay cuz the top few things niches are dry but a lil deep I can still feel moisture so don’t water?

Allow another 2 or 3 days before you water. Before you water the plants lift the pots and get a feel for the weight. water until you get 10-20% run off then lift the pots again. That will give you a better idea when to water next time

Ok now that I have a better idea of what you have going on water in about 24 hrs. It looks like you already have some nutrient burn starting on one of your plants

So how much should I water a plant in a plastic cup

Yeah and I just got all my nutes, ph meter, and ph control kit

Water until slight run-off.
What you transplant in a week or so make sure you use low nutrient soil
