I've had mixed results with the MG Moisture Control . . . in fact, due to some bad storage at the WalMart (I assume) this soil has caused me some burn issues. See, one of the bags I bought turned out to be sopping wet. Of course, I attempted to dry it out, splitting it into 3rds and stirring it often. Satisfied with the texture, I transplanted some clones (2nd TP) into it and next day, the TP's showed signs of a problem, yelllowing, canoe-ed leaves, and now, a little browning on some edges. My theory, the months of being stored wet dissolved all the time release elements at once. It was driving me nuts, and I can't be sure this is what happened.
Anyway, should you find yourself with a sopping wet MG moisture control soil (It'll be seeping out of the bottom corners of the bag) take it back and exchange it, or thoroughly dry it out.

So do we accept that MG organic really is organic? If so then would there be worries about burning?

Pdiddy:
May want to start your own link for your 15 day-olds.
but i couldn't resist answering your question even though it doesn't belong to this thread.
If it was me and my usual high perlite potting mix, I would:
Use a light dilution of seaweed extract (1/8 of full dose) and bat guano tea, I usually go lighter on than the directions and always use RO water.
I would then dilute this tea by 1/4 (1 part tea to 4 parts RO water) and give my babies a good spraying.
NOTE: only do this when soil has dried out between waterings adequately.
The Spraying of guano tea may freak your plant out a bit but it will have more resistance to all kinds of parasites and bugs (even spider mites). The bats eat bugs. For the plant the small (microscopic) peaces of bugs going into the leaves and stems is like an inoculation against the bug that may later attack it.
I spray before watering, I also top dress, but that is another story. And always a pinch of lime at least one a week.
Oh...never mind....your useing MG soil....you are screwed.
Kidding....Peace out.

Well it's 100% organic but it's only made with chiken shit, and peat moss. It grows plants well if you add perlite, but they have much better organic soil choices...

YIIIIIKES!!! isn't the name 'miracle gro organic' an oxymoron? I'm cracking up! that is a HOOT!
the MG organic soil is NOT organic everyone!!!! it has 20% organic biomass added.
please people, we live in the age of information. look on OMRIs list....a lot of people dont like OMRI so look in the USDA database of organics.
shit people look at the contents on the lable.

I don't use it, but they say 100% organic. You are saying they are lying?
"Contains an exclusive mix of 100% organic ingredients: compost, sphagnum peat moss and manure. Natural fertilizers provide both quick- and slow-release feeding to get plants off to a fast start and keep them growing. Delivers nearly double the yields of topsoil naturally."

Please forgive me if this was already posted. In order for MG to put "organic" on their bag, they have to be certified by an agency that is acting on behalf of the US government. Below is an excerpt from the website for the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service.
Over the years, it has become commonplace to understand and define organic agriculture as farming without synthetic pesticides and conventional fertilizers. This should not be considered a definition but a characteristic only one characteristic of a socially and environmentally conscious approach to agriculture that is currently experiencing rapid growth in the U.S.
So growing weed in a container in organic potting soil does employ some ideas and methods taken from organic gardening, it does not necessarily make the weed "organic". Also MG makes an organic garden soil and an organic potting soil.
