soil question
My plant which has sprouted beautifully and was planted 3 days ago im using miracle grow premium moisture controll. The NPK ratio is 0.18-0.10-0.10 and is enriched with Miracle Grow plant food. & it says to wait 30 days before using Mircale Grow plant food etc... Is this soil sufficent to suport the plant? so far the 2 sets of leaves have developed very very nicley & it is a lush green colour.

I sure you have heard the no MG policy before. Not to sound like a broken record but miracle grow is not formulated for cannabis growth and can cause a number of problems. I suggest you transplant if you can but if not, just use plain water for 2 weeks then buy Organic nutrients to feed with.

If you have a wal - mart near you and they still have soil in the garden department look for a brand named "Kellogg's patio plus" its in a yellow bag and its great, when I do not mix my own soil or buy Fox farm Ocean Forest "Kellogg's" is what I buy. But if you got a few bucks to spend you can buy the Fox Farm which is awesome soil.

So whats the problem with fertilizers like miracle grow? I got Schultz plant food and one for bloom. Should I take them back? I'm using an organic soil mix.
