soil

i have miracle grow pottin soil it has fertilizer in it. should i still use fertilizer and bloom boost it says it fertilizes for up to 3 months the girls are almost a month old and are a little more then a foot tall.

oh i will be staying clear of MG soil. it will give 3 months worth of nutes, but when? thats the question. you could get all 3 months worth in the first 2 weeks. i would try to avoid this in future, you cannot guarantie that the nutes will be released slowly or not. i mean if you think they are getting too much, then there is no way you can flush them, coz if you add more water, you will be releasing more nutes. can you see where im coming from mate? ive seen good results with MG soil, but i have also heard alot of these growers complaining they had difficulty starting the grow because of the high nute release. on the other hand, your plants are 1 month old, right? they should be ok, its when they are seedlings that they cant handle a big burst of nutes.

good luck mate, and keep me informed CANNABLISS

yea they are doing really well actually. this is my first grow indoors so i figured i would try this soil. I see where your coming from as i will not know when to start adding more nutes because i wont know when its stops feeding them

yeah, im using MG right now too. im gonna do a transplant at 3 weeks to bigger pots and coka soil so i can control what nutes i use and how frequently they get fed.

well this is one of the big question-marks why time-released nutes are a total NoNo in growing cannabis. the best thing would be to flush this shit of your babies roots carefully and plant them in quality soil mixed with a good portion perlite. that would take the guessing out of the grow and provide your roots with top quality soil as well.

what about Miracle Gro Organic Choice? has anyone had much experience with this medium?

mg soil will work if thats all you can get, mix it with 1/3 perlite for aeriation, i would add a little dolomite lime to neutralize the soil . i wouldn't give it ANY nutes for the 1st 6 weeks, just plain water will do, after that use nutes at 1/4 strength every other watering, watch them closely for any burns. when and if you can get better soil i would recommend ff ocean forest. hope this helps and gl with ur grow!
