Myth #1 “Miracle Gro Plant Food is good for marijuana”

Many of us have grown up seeing Miracle-Gro being used in our homes, so we know that it works for ‘regular houseplants’. Cannabis is just a tough weed, so Miracle-Gro should be great for it, right?

Not really.

The biggest problem with the standard Miracle-Gro nutrient formula is that it’s one formula for the entirety of the plants life cycle. Even if Miracle-Gro is good one for one stage of your plants growth, it won’t be good for all of them. The ratio of nutrients your plants need changes drastically between seedling and full flower, and marijuana needs a nutrient system to accommodate for those changing nutrient needs.

What's even worse than the standard Miracle-Gro nutrients is Miracle-Gro soil. Standard Miracle-Gro soil has "time-released" nutrients which contain high levels of nitrogen. While this formula will work okay in the cannabis vegetative stage (the first stage of life), the nutrients will continue to be slowly released throughout the plant's life including during the cannabis flowering stage, which is not good.

Standard Miracle-Gro nutrients contain too much nitrogen and not enough of other nutrients for your cannabis flowering stage, and as a result of the time-released nutrients you will notice that your leaves in the flowering stage will get nutrient burn and your buds just won't grow as big as they could.Learn what you can do to make sure buds grow as big as possible!

Important: Do not use “Miracle-Gro” soil or any soil that has “extended release” nutrients. These types of soil will continue to release nitrogen to your plant roots for up to 6 months. This can burn your cannabis plants in the flowering/budding stage and reduce your overall yields.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Miracle-Gro nutrients, and if you're willing to learn about nutrients, you can use the various different formulas and get a cannabis plant to grow. For example if you're using regular soil, you could use the standard Miracle-Gro formula for vegetative, and their "bloom" version for the cannabis flowering stage.

Yet there's so many nutrient systems that arespecifically formulated to grow a plant like cannabis. Why not choose to get better cannabis nutrients that will almost always produce better results? Some options likeDyna-Gro are priced about the same as Miracle-Gro nutrients, but you will consistently get bigger yields and more flavorful buds.

chuck that damn soil. Ppl are finding everything from grubs to plastic in it. Heres from one of their reps responding to Grubs found in it!

"The soil you purchased is a natural product. We do not sterilize the soil nor do we claim to on the package. In addition, soils and mulches may become infested with insects while in storage as they are waiting for sale"

Should i clean the soil off the roots and replant with better soil?

I'll let someone else answer that question. I have never transplanted a plant in my life by removal of its medium and put in something completely new. I would imagine shock would most likely take place after exposing the roots, and you would want to do it quickly, and carefully as possible. I'm guessing it would stunt her for a few days at least if she didn't die outright.

Then again, if there's no other solution and you have nothing to lose but dead plants anyway, why not go for it and pray?

Actually that's a lie, I transplanted 6, 7ft tall plants one time to hide in an emergency for someone and they most definitely went into shock for a few days. They were also out of the soil for about 30 mins or more. I forgot about that. I don't know how they fared as someone else ended up finding them .... smh

It is never advised to repot a plant that is in stress. With that said, you need to repot those plants that are in stress. If you have drain holes in your dixie cups (as you should), flush with lots and lots of water then just repot as normal into a soil that isn't too hot. Don't try to shake the current soil off of the roots or anything, you will just end up destroying all of the tiny little micro roots and further hurting the plants.

Ive removed plants from soil and washed them with a kitchen sink sprayer (into a large pan to catch the left over dirt) after removing as much dirt as possible by hand, yes you willl damage some roots, yes it will grow new ones, yes shock is possible but weed is pretty hardy and will usually bounce back....now in full disclosure i want from dirt to hydro and you can chop a plant in half and put it into the right setup and grow roots from a stem (cloning).
