beyond me.. Maybe next year?
I'm attempting to use miracle grow because I don't want to have to spend a lot of money on nutrients IF I don't have to. Oddly enough, my 2 plants aren't doing too well right now... Keep in mind that I'm still new to this please..At any rate, I think I'm going to leave them in the apparently horrible miracle grow soil, go to my local hydro shop, suck it up, and pay for the good nutrients... The thing is I'm growing in soil... Should I just convert to hydro or will the hydro nutrients be okay for soil plants..? Sorry for my lack of knowledge/experience in this field, but I just want to grow mj correctly and in a healthy manner, so I'm open to suggestions.

if youre going to leave them in the miracle grow and they are still young I wouldnt add nutrients to the soil since its self feeding. you should wait at least a month to add any nutes to the soil. also, if you post pictures of your plants people may be able to tell you whats wrong with them.
what kind of lighting are you using?
what are you watering them with? (if its tap water you should leave it out over night)
do you have a ph tester and a moisture meter? (both probes are like $5-7 each at most stores that sell garden supplies) these are crucial when growing. if your tap water has high ph you may need to use ph drops (from fish stores) or buy distilled (which is sort of expensive)
if the moisture meter tells you they are dry it might be underwatering. if its really wet and you water a lot it could be over watering.
hey superhigh, have u ever heard of using pool ph down to ph out tap water? All it is is sodium bicarbonate. What do u think? I experimented with it and it only take 1/4 teaspoon for a gallon of water, well for my tap water(its out of a well)

most likely the growers did not do a pre-harvest flush. if you dont they its gonna taste bad
whoaaaa, ok i am new here, BUT i READ in these forums that the last month of flowering you are not supposed to use ANY nutes, ie natural flushing....I use coco/ie grow coir, coconut fiber based soil wit a small amount of potting soil mixed in....i also use 1/2 strength miracle grow everytime i water once a week, and my plants love it....only prob i had in my grow was when i screwed up the dam ph and made it too low...with my water 7.0-6.8 is a good ph since my coco has a ph of 5.8 to 6.2, i use the miracle grow houseplant all purpose stuff, but when i go to flower i will be using ionic bloom and boost, then no nutes lol..I don't think taste will suffer, if ya don't use any nutes the last month of flowering, at least from what i read here
