It might. Some soils are completely wrong for our girls. Adding nutes might help or it might not. There's even a possibility that it could cause more problems, depending on the soil. Go with a trusted/recommended soil.

I have no idea what Lowe's carries, honestly. But I can tell you that you can get Fox Farms Ocean Forest on Amazon for a good price...

I will say, don't fuckin use miracle grow or anything that a supposed to be comparable! I made that mistake. My plant HATED it.

Ok, first Welcome to RIU...and Happy Highliday!!!!
I have personally never done an outdoor grow...for obvious reasons the government and I are in dispute about. LOL!
But if I were to grow outdoors, I would likely dig a hole to put the plant in, fill it with some good organic top soil, and a good cannabis friendly soil mix...I prefer the FFHF my self but an equal amount prefer the FFOF. Miracle Gro and similar products will grow cannabis. However, it is certainly not an optimum medium. I will never use them, there are a number of reasons that I will not go into now. But do a search on MG products....
That is just what I would do. But, alas I am a suffering indoor grower who shamefully needs to fear cultivating a medicinal plant.

Greetings to all of you!
Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!
The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.
It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Yeah, I remember hearing something like that , I guess miracle grow soil is just shit when it comes to bud for whatever reason, I'm not too familiar with soils from the store so if anyone has had good results and wants to make a suggestion feel free

also I was planning on taking my clones out of the house and planing them in the woods, but I've been reading about how your supposed to "harden" your plants so they don't get burnt before you can do that, I was talking to a friend and he said he just put his outside without any hardening and his plants turned out great, any experienced outdoor growers that can tell me if this is a load of bs or if im really taking a risk by just putting them outside?

There are multiple good recipes available for mediums. You can find them easily on the web. And depending on how much you mix and the number and size pots you are going to fill it can also save you $$Yeah, I remember hearing something like that , I guess miracle grow soil is just shit when it comes to bud for whatever reason, I'm not too familiar with soils from the store so if anyone has had good results and wants to make a suggestion feel free

Do you have a Home Depot near you? They have the answer to Ocean Forest..

Your fine as long as they are well rooted clones. The sooner the get out, the faster they acclimate. Hardening off is usually talked about when making clones under a dome and then taking them out of some for transplant. That's when issues occur. If they are established non domed clones, throw them out there and let em rip!!

If your local Home Depot carries this, don't sleep on it. It's $6.50 and is a 1cu ft bag. I stopped using FF all together. Where I live it runs $20+ a 1.5cuft bag...insanity
