Sorry to harsh your buzz, bro, but you can save yourself a ton of anguish and kill both of those plants right now. Everything you read about the MG soil on this forum is the truth. It is a nightmare. The plants will thrive until you water them a few times and then the pre-mixed fertilizer in the MG kills them. Trust me. Get some potting soil with no fertilizer in it and start over.
Yeah Miracle Grow sucks balls... I'm using MG organic choice potting soil for my grow. Haven't had any burn from it yet but it was laced with spider mite eggs that hatched after first water, Managed to kill them off tho thankfully. I also decided to go with MG perlite, which i found out had a ton of inorganic fert crystals in it, which were a bitch to seperate out. IMO Miracle Grow products are about as caustic to weed growing as soil can get. Never gonna use them again thats for sure. If you are using plain Miracle Grow garden soil with the chemical ferts then you may have some issues. They lace that soil way too much fertilzer for the little seedlings and you'll probably have bugs too. So is your soil just plain MG garden soil? Did you mix it with perlite or anything?
Toss the MG and go get some Fox Farms Soil. Mylar your walls to get the best out of your light. Purchase some Fox Farms Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom for feeding in the weeks to come. DL the feeding schedule from FF's site. Start with half of their recommended dosages for the 1st month of feeding. I could go on but i'm on my 1st grow.
