you can use mg and get great yeild's i've used it plenty of times with great success. but you shouldn't use any fertilizer unless you see any yellowing towards the end of the grow cycle. like the last three weeks. i've also used fox farm whitch is great also. you have to understand that there is so much fert in this soil and because thy entire grow consists of maybe four months you usually don't need fert. That's why you should use organic because you can add fert and if there is to much you can flush the plant. But with mg you can not flush your plant, by flushing your plant all's your doing is reactivating the fertilizer. It's very easy to over feed your plant with mg fertilizer. So if you need to feed your plant dilute the mg fertilizer or get something organic. If you know what your doing you can do perfectly fine. you can still use molasses.

This is miracle grow potting soil 50/50 and I am using miracle grow shake n' feed like once every 2 weeks. this is week 4 of flowering now, it's not spectacular, but then again, I just got my 2 40w cfl lights this week.
she has been growing under 4 13w cfl lights.
And I dont have a clue what my PH level is, I use tap water that I let sit for about 30 minutes or so.
I have a box over the vent in my room that pushes the air towards the plant...its about 2 feet away, it shakes the leaves pretty well.
Overall, my two un-experienced cents would be put in by saying it's just a freakin plant at the end of the day...It needs light, water, and a little bit of love baby...
And liek I stated above...Those two cents really dont know what theyre even talking about, I can just attest to using miracle grow because i threw a seed in it and this is what I got so far haha... I dont know anything about nutes

mg is not all bad. its a top seller but thats mainly because its cheap, commercial, and they buy up all of the marketing dollars. it just doesnt relally get along with most strains of the cannabis plant. if you see whats in it and then see whats in the other stuff or what you can make yourself you will find that its really not for cannabis.
if you look at msot of FF products. they are developed in the humbolt county(home of the finest MMJ plants) yes mg does research but other products research for certain plants in particular. they dont advertise it but you know what it is lol. MG isnt that bad though especially if you put bugs in it.

I didnt like getting fungus gnats that came with the soil (unwelcome bonus) that I know now seems to be inherent of MG soil and the fact that it burns tender seedlings (although most get over it) by having the pre-mixed nutrients for the whole cycle of the plant mixed in from the get go. So inconclusion: too strong for seedlings/small plants, too NASTY to deal with little larvae.
this is a total load of bullshit, kindly disregard.

I use mg on every grow and never have a problem
it feeds up to so many months ,
So for so many months i ONLY give water , no nutes at all
im not saying that any of you do this
but some people will us mg , then turn around and add some nutes to their water
then they start crying that mg burned their plants up
well no shit ,
it already has nutes in it , that's why it says that it feeds for so many months
so when you go adding extra nutes to it , what do you think is going to happen ,
like i said ,

just a lot of people do ,

that can work in soil but i dont grow in soil and i do NOT recommend trying MG in hydro
the problem i have with pre-fert soil is if u have any trouble with nutes like a lockout or deficiency or something it is super hard to treat because u cant take the nutes already in the soil out of the equation
when it works it works ok
when it goes bad it is awful and hard to fix

I growned with MG and its been all good man no problems,until i bought some soil that is suppose to be for growing cannabis, its called fox farms ocean forest,fucked up my plants,i wouldnt use it personally myself again, wouldnt want to risk my plants at the flowering stage, so i switched to another type of MG but i will try out the FF Nutes,hope it all goes well with them as well.

Wuts up PK hope your lil girls are growing well. Sorry bout the probs we had b4 but shit at work had me stressed. Anyways I haven't used MG but I would for a small grow where cost wasn't an issue. I prefer to start out with Peat/lite as a base and amend it as necessary. Sub cool has the best organic recipe for a mix and he says no additional nutes are needed. A lot of the stuff like worm castings can be bought on line at tolerable expense. If there's something else I was gonna add I'll come back and edit. I'm doing a wake and bake ATM (and yes I'm at work right now) and my short term memory is.......something......lol....I crack myself up....

MMMmmmmhhhmmm... see this is why I personally don't use MG products. Especially MG soils with premixed nutrients already in the soil. Those premix nutes are a pain in the ass to flush out. Plus, any nutrients that you use during the plants life.. will just be added to whatever amount of premixed nutrients that were already mixed in at the MG factory.
It's just best to stay away from MG products, especially MG soils...
I know some people around here will come back with "What? MG soils are great! I won't use anything but MG soils and products."
Well, good for you.. I hope you like having the battle of flushing out that soil.. and then just hoping and praying that you flushed them enough while the product is drying and curing.. - yeah, its not worth the stress IMO.
Each to their own.. I understand that. But, its just best to stay away from MG soils with premixed nutes and or those "time released" nutrients that supposively feed up to 6 months.. stay away from those soils.
hopefully I helped you people out.
peace.
