iv nether used miricle grow potting soil but all it gets is bad press when growing cannabis! nute burn. also those lights seem a little weak. i use a 400 watt metal halide and rate it highly. also think about ventilation and installing reflective mylar to the walls of your growroom to get the most from your lights. keep us posted

that's enough light for seedlings, but you'll need much more light. Several 42watt CFLs will flower one plant.
Soil with time-released nutes make it hard to regulate feeding. You'll likely over fertilize and burn some leaves early on in the plant's development.

its best to cut MG soil down some with something. perlite or peat moss or both works well. i have burned the hell out of seedlings with MG soil. do not overwater it if its straight MG and you should be ok. if you overwater at all or your pots have bad drainage you will probably end up burned.

I have gotten bugs using mg soil several times. and I keep a clean grow room. I guess this is pretty common with thier soil also.
just keep a lookout my man

could it come from not enough water ive been tryin not to over water.i wait till the soil is dry couple inches deep.do yall think its just nute burn from the mg. if so should i switch soil or will they get better. most of them are still standin up strong but the older leaves look bad 1 is showin some burn on the new leaves.

Looks like nute burn to me in case you don't know evry time you water you induce nutes from the soil somtimes so much the soil becomes acidic get a ph tester you want it to read around 6 if too high use ph down. Good Luck on the grow.
