Miracle Grow Confusion

Okay. I wish I had started with FF Ocean Forest but I didn't. I used MG. Now I am confused about when I should fertilize. MG says it can feed for 6 months. I think it's 21-7-14. To feed or not to feed that is the question. I can get FF Grow Big and FF Ocean Forest at a local greenhouse. If I pick up the Ocean Forest should I transplant. My seedling is about 2 inches tall and one week old.

I would suggest not feeding it because you'll probably end up with nute burns on your plant. Just water it normally for a 3 months or so and then add nutes in small doses every other three waterings.

Thank you both for the feedback. That is what I heartfelt thought but wasn't sure. I need help. In more ways than one. Should I transplant or leave it alone? It sounds like from your steerage I should just leave it alone. My next grow will be FF Ocean Forest and Grow Big. Hoping to get AK48 seeds in maybe three weeks.

If you want, right now would be a good time to transplant her, I transplanted mine about a week into growing into a bigger pot, the plant might suffer a bit of stress from changing soils, but if you keep an eye on it, it will thrive, after all, there's a reason why it's called "weed".

I grew with both FF and MG soils,(the 3 month potting mix) side by side, and found them to have about the same nute requirements. I vegged them both for about 5 weeks, then started feeding the week I flipped to 12/12. There was no fert burn or anything, they performed near identically, and possibly, with a slight egde given to the MG soil.
