You can use the flowering nutes, at a reduced strength, if its past about 2.2 months. just watch the plants.Ok if i use mg moisture control, should i use big bloom an tiger bloom

I just water for first couple of weeks of flowering then do the bloom boost for a *single* watering (bloom boost, like Kool Bloom x.45.?) then a single straight watering then reg flowering after that.

If you have high quality organic nutrients like the Fox Farm line then why in the f would you just stick them on a shelf and choose to go buy a bag of MG moisture control instead? I say buy a bag of soil, any soil, organic is best, that has no time release ferts and as little nutrients as possible. Grow from seed for a couple weeks feeding with nothing but water, then start Fox Farms recommended feeding schedule. No offense, but if you lack experience I think this will give you the best chance of success. If you end up burning up your plants and don't have the know how to fix the problem right away, you are going to regret going with hot soil. If you use a mild soil and add nutrients when you water, you will have much more control over your plants environment. This is all just my humble opinion though, feel free to disregard every word.

No dude i actually totally agree with you, its just the only organic
shit ive found around here is MG. And it says not for containers on
the back, so pretty much dont go pot in the soil. The only schultz i can
find has nutes too wtf..I only have access to a wallmart,lowes,and home
depot.

Home Depot sells very good brand of potting soil & top soil called "Earth Grow",it's what i use with excellent results,i make my own pro mix using materials found at any home depot.
Potting soil ........40%
Top soil .............20%
Perlite ...............30%
Masons sand ......10%
The end product ends up costing about $2 for 40 lbs & works fantastic,excellent drainage plus lots of natural nutrients from the top soil.

You could do whatever you feel is right but with growing weed you get out only what you put in,the top soil is there for a reason because that is where the bulk of the nutrients within pro mix lie,especially all the micro nutrients that are a mofo to replenish should nutrient problems develop in the grow,the masons sand add's alot of drainage to the mix without taking up very much space in the pot.
I gave up using off the shelf potting soils as they are never quality controled or way over fertilized,they are made for the average house wifes indoor plants ,not weed,the reason expensive soils like fox farms are so much better than home depot shit or scotts is because they take the tme to mix it right.
There is no easy way to get good soil unless your willing to spend the long dollar on ultra expensive designer pro mix'es like fax farms, unless your willing to buy uber expensive products right from the start,then be prepared to bend over & take the big one,and it's gonna hurt too

Looks like that's your only sensible alternative seeing as you've got bigbudballs as an experienced user to consult with.
Did you check the Pro Mix distributor location finder I posted, just curious.

do this and add more perlite to the soil for faster roots and better drainage if you get over fert probs.

I honestly think his best option may be to buy time released fert soil, and pick out all the nute balls. It wouldn't take THAT long, as long as you were only removing balls from the soil that you needed along the way, not all of it at once. I just hope you aren't planting a field, that would get time consuming. But if your access is honestly that limited, it may very well be your best option.

Might just use the mg moisture control and make sure i dont overwater.

Alrighty bro, its your grow so its most definitely up to you. I say pick those death balls out, but its up to you, just be prepared to put your grow big on a shelf and have plenty of distilled water on hand for flushing...

I dont get the big deal? You need nutes one way or another, granted my foxfarm is better but if the mg has nutes, which ive SEEN do work, its just a
matter of not watering to much because that releases the excess nutes.
So if the soil will work, just takes practice. will give comparable results to
if you put nutes if yourself. Like that balls said, soil for dummies.
Im gonna try to find a good soil, scotts or so, without nutes.
But if i cant then oh well

You can grow pot just fine with MG. With that said, you can grow better, tastier pot, without having to worry about nute burn, lockout, or ph issues if you grow organically. That's all I'm getting at here, do what you will my man.For ex, check out seemorebuds grow 8oz with 100$..amazing quality
