Nutes no.
The soils yes. I used probably all of them.
Right. 1.5 cf of soil with a 2 weeks worth of nutes and a few cups more of perlite for 20 plus is a rip off. These canna specific companies got rich off the big box store hate train charging double tripple quadruple.I looked at the MG Performance Plus Organics. It appears that they have 6 different NPK formulations. They might have more but is is what I gleaned from their website.

Here's a couple of the labels. It's as organic as anything else calling itself organic. I'll probably never use it but I was curious. In some places where there are not many options for soil or fertilizer the Performance Plus line is a great option since Walmart and Home Depot carry it at many of their stores and if they don't you can order it and have it shipped to the store for free.
Maybe most cannabis growers don't support them but they're selling a bunch. Outside the cannabis growing world Miracle-Grow is not looked down upon. There is a reason they are the third biggest soil brand in the world. People buy it. I think many of the cannabis specific nutrient companies that have popped up in recent years to cash in on selling a bottle with 50¢ worth of MKP for $20 are going to be coming to an end as people wise up and get tired of paying excessive prices for 12 bottles of stuff and realize they don't need to and many less expensive options perform as well or better.
I expect to see the Miracle-Grow Performance Organics line being extremely successful going forward. Especially since it's already in most of the big box stores. The packaging is extremely eye catching as well. No cartoon characters or lightning bolts. Looks professional. They know their target market. This isn't aimed at the cannabis grower. They have a couple soil companies under their Hawthorne subsidiary that has all their cannabis companies like Botanicare, GH, Gavita, Sun Systems, And many more. The soil companies under that umbrella are Vermicrop Organics and Mother Earth. People might not like them but they are not going away and will just continue to grow as they acquire more and more companies which they will do. And I don't even understand the hate towards them. The cannabis industry has some pretty shady players itself yet many seem to worship them for some reason.
I'm not trying to promote MG but I just find it interesting to watch what's going on as a large corporation buys up companies and moves into the cannabis industry.

I've been feeding my moms and teens with the 9-2-7. Im actually very impressed. It doesn't quite have the calcium i look for in a fertilizer but my plants are looking very nice and healthy. Look forward to playing around with them. The cost is right.

Yea man, I did a tbsp last week then another this week. Nice green supple growth. I was looking at the numbers on the 7-6-9. Thats the one I would get next time. It has basically the same numbers as my Mr b's green trees at half the cost.

I grabbed some MG natures care soil for raised beds (potting wasnt available). I added about 50% perlite and some EWC and transplanted my plants that were dying in peat moss. Gave it about two weeks and they are now completely recovered and THRIVING and i havent added nutes yet. anyone who says MG sucks is a liar. Before MG and after attached
