Can you do any other soil than MG? I used the moisture control for my last grow and when i added nutes I burned the shit out of em..it was a male bagseed I kept for learning purposes but still ...you lose control with soil that already has synthetic nutes added, especially MGs 4-6 month time release ...

It will work don't get me wrong, but dont mess with them during veg and you should be fine...getting the FF trio would be pointless in that case though bc Grow Big is heavy in N (veg stage) and will burn your plants with MG already in the soil early on...

Maybe go with MG Organic?

Sounds like a good selection to me. I have a pineapple express freebie going myself. I almost couldn't resist. I'm not familiar with purple chem, but LA Con and PE both have good reviews on Seed Finder and I've heard good things about them here too. You're going to want to get started right away for maximum yield. It is starting to get a little late in the season. Still definitely worth the effort though.

I really dislike MG soil. I've actually used the potting mix in a pinch without much ill effect, but I had some serious issues with the moisture control stuff this year. After planning my 2012 grow for months, I made the stupid mistake of taking all my pro-mix out to my patch. When I realized I didn't have a bag to germinate seeds in, had to run to wal mart and pick up a bag of MG moisture control since where I get the pro-mix doesn't keep it in stock I have to special order it. Big mistake. Way to heavy of a soil to be germinating seeds IMO. Seeds survived a and bounced back once I transplanted them, but I've been starting seedlings this way for almost 3 years and never had a set have such a bad start as the round in the MG soil. Peat-based mixes like pro-mix and sunshine mix are the way to go. Hell, I think I would have been beter off just using straight peat moss.

Miracle Gro is a bad choice for growing cannabis. It will burn the shit out of your seedlings.

Not always. Not saying it won't but it is doing fine with mine right now. I use roots 707 normally but ran out and didn't want to go the store for 1 bag. I had a bag of MG in the garage, so I figured why not give it a try. I started a Northern light Blue from delicious seeds in 707 and one in MG potting soil. It's been about a month and they look the same, only difference is I haven't added any fets to the MG.

Want proof MG sucks?

Same strain from same breeder, identical pots, same location, same amount of light...only difference is one is grown in MG moisture control and the other in FF Ocean Forest ....tell me which one looks better ?

not only that, you will most likely be smoking traces of the chemical fertilizer. i think even if you flush the plant very well there will always be a little. in my opinion dont risk it, just use organic soil
