Ewwwwwww MG. That will be the death of your plant. Get some good potting mix (not soil) mixed with preferebly Pearlite or Vermiculite and includes shit like sphagnum peat moss, Forest Humus, Sandy Loam anything like that is good. If you can get it buy the Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. It has all that good stuff. That soil is such good quality that you dont even have to feed the plant any nitrogen nutes during vegitation. If you can't get it then just goto lowe's or home depot and youll find something good.

I dont see anything on here saying you transpanted it...not on this thread....I reccommended, that you use fox farm when you asked before...i see you bought mg promix....the problem is most mg mixes have crazy time released fertilizers....so if your gonna use nutes..start 1/4 stenght....seeing as you didnt buy fox farm when i suggested it.... youl probly buy cheap mg nutes....dont do it.....theres no telling whats liable to happen....maybe you shouldnt use nutes for a while...mg has a bunch of it....

please please get it out of the mg (murderous grow). the so called time released nutrients are released every time you water. cannabis loves water, and doesn't need that much nutrient. MG + heavy watering = nute burn = low yield or death. excuse my pun but foxfarm soil is dirt cheap and 10x better for your plant. it shouldn't be too hard to find a bag of it in cali

I had no idea! My local Lowes and Home Depot didn't have the soil/potting mix you recommended and there isn't any store nearby that have what you said to get. I guess all my hard work won't mean a thing :(

Yeah iv seen people grow in MG before but the MAJORITY of those plants die. not all of them. I prefer to grow my plants in something that i know wont burn my plants everytime i water it. Especially as the plant gets bigger and it starts soaking up more water. Personally i will NEVER use MG but alas to each his own :cry:
