Dude, The plant is small for 10days old and the soil does not look good at all.

Do some research on this site, very good info here.


Good luck on your grow!!

Soil looks very bad
for starters if it says MG on it put it back, don't even bother, some people can use it, but not us noobs, I tried a gro last year and it failed because of MG, save yourself the money and heart ach.

You need a good soil mix, just do a quick search, or just read the noob section stickies it's all there, I use it alot.

yeah... go to your local hydroponics shop and get some potting soil there. I used MG and hated it. Switched over to an organic potting soil that has all sorts of stuff like guano, worm castings, fish bone, etc. Working wonders.

i think you will be alright. im a first time grower too but ive read of people using MG soil and it worked for the whole grow. but maybe when you transplant you can put it in some better soil ya know?

No man dont give up, but get them outta that junk, get something else NOT MG or scotts.
Find a garden shop or hydro shop (if your lucky enuf to have one close) get some soil WITHOUT EXTENDED RELEASE FERTS, mg soil has them and will cause you greif.

Listen to the other people if you want that tell you mg is ok, results speaks and the only results I had with MGs garbage was burnt plants and 1 bag of their organic I was using came with "organic gnats" too.

So go ahead use that mg soil and see where you gets you, spend a few dollars to see something better.
Skimp on your soil you will be sorry, but Im a noob what do I know, I already tried and failed before....
