I am a new grower and I bought a bag of mg potting soil for my grow, and I’m planning on using the advanced nutrients ph perfect fertilizer (bloom, grow, micro) . I read through some threads on here and some people have used this soil with no problems, and some say it burns the plants and overloads them with nitrogen, and some say it causes nutrient deficiencies. I am unsure whether I should scrap the miracle grow and buy new soil, or if I can still use it , but with less fertilizer, or if I should wait until the plants have grown quite a bit until using fertilizer. Again, I am quite the inexperienced grower so any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

If you plan on using MG, bottle feeding isn’t necessary because it contains all the nutrients you need for a specified period of time. Some are 3 or 6 month time released. MG is high in N ( nitrogen ), which is why a lot of people don’t like it because you don’t need the N during flower, which is where the burn comes from. If you plan on using the ph perfect, I would suggest using a different soil medium.

I have the 6 month time release. I think that I’ll mix the MG with some topsoil from my property

The fertilizer is a 3 part mix as follows ,
Grow 116
Bloom 1 3 4
Micro 4 0 0
I’m assuming I could use some some grow and bloom later into the grow as they are low in N

Whether it’s the 3 or 6 month, you still don’t wanna use bottle Nutes, because you will definitely have toxicity. When I used MG, I used the 3 month which lasted for the entire veg phase, because by the time I was done vegging, I could use my own flower Nutes after the 12/12 switch. Being that you have the 6 month, using bottle Nutes won’t have a pleasant outcome because it’s too much nutrient. You will have problems for sure, trust me, been there done that. If you are stuck on using the AN line, I would use a different soil medium, but that’s me.
