mericle grow/????

my question is.... i have mericle grow soil and now im reading that its not good to use. i herd u should only use mericle grow additive and add it to the soil. too late for that my plants seem to b fine but im still worried of burning. is there a way to flush it all out ?

i think its too late now to do any flushing.. alot of people love to slam miracle grow soil, but its not as bad as some people may lead you to believe.. just go very light on any nute feedings that you may give your plants for a month or two, and you should be ok.. your best bet for miracle grow is to use some dolemite lime, about a cup per bag, to help buffer the ph, which is where most of the problems arise from..
goodluck with the grow..

You might not have a problem. Your going to have to wait it out and see. It really depends on the strain your growing. Some strains can just really take a lot of nute's, some can't.

ok cool kuz ya im using foxfarms open seaseme rite now for the last weeks of veg and the first week of flowering, then im going to switch to beastie blooms, them cha ching! i hope it can handle it.

straight water for a month and you should be fine, may need some epsom salt around the 3rd week.

my very frist grow i used mircale grow soil, put the seeds in the soil and they sprouted with no burn

I started growing with the Aerogarden using small growing lowryder strains and CFL's about 2 years ago.I bought a MH/HPS all in one ballast and unit 250w system (all you do is change bulb type and hit a switch) to fit in my small closet 2 months ago.I wanted to try some type of 50/50 soil mix and did the lazy thing and bought the Miracle-Grow soil the one for Roses just as an experiment.I started with 2 lowryders and a friend asked me if i wanted a clone of some strain of Cheese I said okay as both the lowryders turned out to be male (I let a male do its thing to a female so I have tons of seeds) so I ditched them and took the clone.He had his clones in a Eb&Flow system the plant was in shock allready buy the time it hit the dirt took about 5 days to recover but other then hardcore drooping the leaves stayed dark green no burning.
For the last 10 weeks feeding it only Water I have huge fat sticky buds and the tips of some leaves had a small amount of yellow at worst,the leaves are a healthy green color plant has always been happy.Every three weeks I did run 2-3 gallons of water through the soil as I heard salts and other bad things for roots can build up at the bottom.And like I said I have not added any food it's living off the food in the soil only.
Next weekend the 60 days of flowering will be up as the amber is allready saying hello, I will let you know how its tastes when that happens.

mericle grow?

something new?

One more tip.....if you plan to use MG fert, it's really strong stuff that's designed to last a week or two, so it's best to start at 1/4 strength, and then slowly increase the dose if they look like they need it. If you are in a 3 gallon pot or larger, you won't need any nutes until the 4th week or so, so try not to get impatient and overfeed them. It's a common mistake.
