My plants are in 4" pots with normal Miracle Gro soil right now, and I'd like to use something different when I transplant, to make it easier to control what nutrients they receive. My question is, would it be a huge shock to the plants to switch to something like Fox Farms (a soil which most people here support) after transplanting? Thanks!

Its a good idea to transplant them into better soil
They might be alittle shocked from the actual transplant, but its not big deal

I don't live in the US, but people seem to prefer fox farm.

I use simple potting soil for flowers, works great for me, but hey, I'm on the other side of the world.
