yellowing is usually a nitrogen deficiency so , as Gidget says give them a feed, try with only 1/4 of the reccomended dose as you may burn them if your soil still has some residual nutes in it, just take it easy and gradually build up to full feed.

....you probably should've used better soil.....that miracle grow has synthetic time released fertilizer capsules that open with waterings......the more you water, the faster they open....although I see alot of people growing dope with it, imo, miracle grow is garbage.

Well what kinda fertalizers should we get? can we use the miricle grow plant food if i cant afford much else or what should we do suggestions please?

....BUT, I thought that the miracle grow didn't need any fertilizers for like 6-9 months or something....I'd say, just focus on your waterings and be sure to let your soil dryout before you rewater.
...next round, try a better quility soil, such as Fox Farm's Ocean Forest, or Roots Organics.

Man, I'd totally abandon anything from Scott's or MG! U can get sum cheap non-nutrietive potting soil, and add in some perlite, vermiculite, greensand, dolomitic lime, worm castings, N-rich bat guano, kelp, coco coir, cotton burr, a pinch of epsom salt, blood meal, feather meal, alfalfa meal, for veg, and when u begin flowering, u can add in P-rich bat guano in teas, and add rock phosphate, bone meal, and I use liquid seaweed for both cycles with water to dilute it, as it comes in a concerntrated form, and during flowering, I also use black strap molassas and water about once a week to feed the living soil which helps break down nutes and make them easier for the roots to take up and use... Liquid seaweed/water also makes for a good foliar spray during veg... There's just so many other options out there than pre-mixed soil, that will yield u much better results, without all the possibilities of nute burns or def's... I personally, really frown on MG of any type being used to cultivate cannabis, although I know folks who STILL use that crap on their stuff... I wouldn't put it into my body, even if it were given to me, much less would I buy buds grown with MG...

Well as for nutes I surely would not use the MG...I would get some fish fertilizer, although with miracle gro soil and small plants I would say that you are more likely to be seeing over water more so than under feeding...

70-80 deg F is great... U probably have about a few deg on either end that is tolerable, but If u can stay within 70-80 at the highest and lowest temps of yer grow, u will be ok with that...
