Id be happy to get an 1/8th out of this considering ive spent about $15 on this setup.
The MG potting soil should be okay, if the ph range is around 6.5... make sure you test that because the only valid reason i've ever heard MG isn't good is the soil is to acidic some of there soils come bagged at 5.5ph. So just check that ph, if its around 6.5 to 7 you should be good.
