I know people say miracle grow is not too good but its pretty much what every store in my area only supplies.
I got cactus,palm, and citrus plant soil. I got this because I was looking for something that has really good drainige.
Okay so its made with Spagnum peat moss, composted forest products, sand, and perlite and a wetting agent.
The nutrients are not high at all but i do have ferts. 0.13-0.03-0.07 i can control the ferts i geuss. And like i said it suppose to have excellent drainige.
So tell me what you think i did not repot yet so if any flaws i can know before hand.

Don't do it. I thought the same thing some time ago when I was in a pinch and needed some grow dirt. The overall grow, and the final product was beyond disappointing. Not worth the months of effort put into a plant to harvest just under one zip from a single lady. Those are b.s. numbers for a single plant.

is it that difficult to drive 30-45 minutes to a grow store even an hour to stock up on supplies? You can even find free shipping deals on some soil sometimes on amazon.

Oh and doomsday i will take your feed back into consideration, BUT couldnt there of been multiple factors to why you didnt get i good yeild. Ferts, lighting, disease, ph, or maybe the overall plant. take the last one with a grain of salt cause i have no idea what strain/type of plant you had.

I love the "I just bought this soil/fertilizer/light, will it work?" questions.

Seems like the better time to ask the question would be before you bought it.

You could always try growing a cactus, palm or citrus...

its a waste to buy soil online even if it says free shipping there gonna charge you more no matter what soil is heavy and that's why it costs so much online if I were to buy my soil online it would cost about 20 bucks more than in store not worth it

just depends if you have to spend more than 20-30 dollars in fuel to go to the store to get it my friend.

if you absolutely must use MG which I have with quite good results, use MG MOISTURE CONTROL, its actually not terrible but it WILL burn weak plants
