Hey guys my Ultra Lemon Haze Auto and Og Kush x Cherry are on there way.

My last grow was with coco which j have now run out of, however I have quite abit left from my last grow.

I brought some fruit trees from b&q and then I though hell I'm out of soil so I might aswell buy some.

The one I bought is called MiracleGrow moisture control compost with added slow release .

My question is will this be okay for growing weed??, if not what if I mix the coco and compost?
I also have perlite

And finally if I stay with just compost or a mix of coco and compost, what kind of nutrients will I need? As I know some are made specifically for either coco or soil?

Has anyone mixed coco and compost? Or even used full on compost? How is this for ggrowing beans especially autos
Cheers
 
I always add peat and perlite to mgmc.The amount of food in the mix is almost nonexistant.....01-.02-.01 or something.I bet I could crack seeds in that stuff and it wouldnt burn em.No need for the coco unless you clean it with some low Ph H2O then you can reuse it.

Cheers for the reply.
I'm not sure how much fertiliser it has I mean isn't the whole thing one big nutrient lol, this is item description on b&q
  • 20% peat free
  • Absorbs twice as much water as ordinary multi purpose compost
  • Enriched with Miracle-Gro Plant Food - feeds for up to 6 months
Technical specifications
BrandMiracle Gro
Volume50L

I'm thinking about adding the coco to help aerate and help soil dry up faster, also if I do mix (70%compost and the other 40% coco and perlite?]I reduce chance of burning my plants right?

Increases oxygen saturation but wont protect em from burning.Only You can control that.Ppm Ph etc..If You look really close on the bag the N--P--K is almost non existent.
 
Will have to go into shed and have a look hopefully it's not too much pre-fertilised.
I was thinking of adding growsure released granules but Iv read lots of thing about people burning their plants due to the pre nutrients in the medium
