MG 24-6-16 isn't appropriate - it's too high in nitrogen, unless very dilute.i trimmed off the biggest amounts of goldish brown leaves only edges has the paper like appearance and feel, rest were jsut starting to gold/brown.
add sum more miracle grow all purpose 24-6-16 incase it was food intake
also tossed soil around a little bit and added in so some sand(not to much couple 2 hand scoops)
im using a all organic soil with peat moss, worm castings, bat guano... its just a nursery brand soil the lady at store said it was absolutely perfect for growing mariuana
i trimmed off alot so u can't see the browning but it still re-appeared today
Plus you had already loaded up the soil with worm casings (good) and guano (depends what type).
Mix 20% pearlite with most off the shelf mixes. Sand is too heavy.
Why is there newspaper on top of the soil, is that mulch? Lose the paper, roots need oxygen
From Organic Gardening Magazine, July/August 2000 Issue.
"Miracle-Gro is a synthetic fertilizer that contains ammonium phosphate and several other chemicals that can be toxic to your soil and plants. It is prohibited from use in certified-organic farming. Heres what soil expert Robert Parnes, Ph.D., says in his book Fertile Soil: "[Ammonium fertilizer] acidifies the soil, and thus it is probably more harmful to soil organisms than any other nitrogen fertilizer . . . . The application has to be timed carefully and placed properly to avoid burning the leaves and roots . . . . In addition, ammonium tends to inhibit the release of . . . potassium . . . Ammonium fertilizers are deliberately manufactured to be spread at high application rates in order to obtain maximum yields with no regard to adverse effects on the soil. Probably nowhere is the conflict between the mass production of food to feed the world and the preservation of the soil more obvious than in the confrontation over the use of either ammonium fertilizers or liquid ammonia."
And theres more: long-term studies at the University of Wisconsin have shown that acidic chemical fertilizers are causing serious, permanent damage to our soils. Usually these fertilizers are also highly soluble, so they leach away and pollute our water systems, too. Soil fertility authority Garn Wallace, Ph.D., of Wallace Laboratories in El Segundo, California, points out that Miracle-Gro contains muriate of potash, which contains excess chlorine that will burn plants and inhibit the uptake of nitrogen. Dr. Wallace also warns that products such as Miracle-Gro often contain unsafe levels of zinc and copper that will be toxic to soil life."
