Im using miracle grow organic choice and its fine, others say the moisture control mix works well too. Not a damn thing wrong with it, you can bet the people at miracle grow want to make stuff suitable for cannabis growers too.
I didn't use any nutes either, as it's already got em in there. I used the high nitrogen first, now they're in organic choice. Sent from my DROID4 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It killed every seedling I had and the bags I purchased were infested with fungus gnats. I'm sure it will work but definitely not your best option if you are going organic. Sent from my LG-D800 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Yes it's fine, Iv seen many side-by-side grows comparing soils and miracle gro prevails via rigorous growth every time! Google the ingrediants and where theyre derived from, youll noticed very slim differ
I'm using miracle grow, due to cost. I've been told by an expert gardener to water with Miracle Grow Fertilizer while using their soil. My plants look good.
I would never use mg soil! Or ferts! If you knew where and how the mg company first started and the people that where involves you would never use. They are involved with gangs, pollution, drugs, and so much more, and there products suck!!! But if you like then use it then that's cool but alls you need to so is hop over to @[member="JTchonger"] thread and you will see how much mg soil stunted his plants, he had a real struggle with it. He is very friendly and I suggest you reading his thread then having a chat then I assure you that you will eifer be out buying more soil or digging some up lol! Sorry if that came across a bit harsh but I'm getting tired of seeing so many plants hurt/killed because of miracle grows products.

I am going to be using Miracle Gro Natures Care Organic Potting Mix for my seedlings. Will not be using it for my final transplant, but despite what everyone says I think I'll be completely fine.
Here's my girl, started in mg high nitrogen, then when time to flower came, put her into mg organic choice, using African violet food. (7-6-19). Sent from my DROID4 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
If your on a low budget then it's fine to use. I know a few people that use it and they haven't encountered any problems. Sometimes mg will have gnats in it though so be prepared for that.
after planting all my new sprouts in miracle grow potting mix. (chili peppers, sunflowers, etc) i noticed signs of slow growth and yellowing. the soils PH. was orange! between a 3 and a 4. 7 is neutral. what the #%*^ over? i checked miracle grows website for reviews. lots of folks this year have similar problems. looks like even miracle grow, a long standing good product is crap now!
I've used miracle Gro successfully for two years. Not a problem. It does help to have flowering fertilizers towards the flower stage. I've used potting soil and I've used moisture control. Those who hate on it are just doubters.
MG isn't sterilized so you get all the bugs along with it. You also need to be able to control what nutes your plants get and at what stages...you will not be able to control this in MG as much of it is time release. N during late flowering stage is bad for taste and quality and your plants will not get enough P and K as well. It will grow but you will only see mid shelf at best.
bought bag of fox farm ocean forest, great stuff! sprouts perked right up within a week. yellowing is fading. i believe that my previous soil mixes PH of 3-4 produced this yellowing. it is a hit and miss with premixed soils. always check your stuff before you use it now my motto, meh! {*!*}
Mix your own soil... http://forum.grasscity.com/organic-growing/1116550-easy-organic-soil-mix-beginners.html That way there's no question...
I use MG stuff to piss off the hippies and organic snobs, LOL It is fine and affordable, just keep asking around for those who have used it for advice, not those who hate it because they hate rich people. How long does a mix take you?
Pros: cheap,affordable, budget friendly, readily available at any store with a garden aisle. Cons: unsterilized(may contain bad microbes) nutrients are time released, minor drainage problems(fixable with addition of perlite/vermiculite) http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1340042-JHo%27s-Shiatsu-Massage
