hey guys im currently growin my blue cheese in organic soil, it is my first time using organic and it was terrible.
My plant wasnt healthy at all during its growth , the ph of the soil was way too high
My next growi i am goin to do is violator kush and my question is , is it ok for me to go ahead and just use miracle gro, because my first grow went great with it

and my very important question is , if im using miracle gro with the nutes in it already can i still use my flora nova gro nutrient after the plant is 2 weeks
or will this be too much ??
and also when the plant goes into flowering, can i use my flora nova bloom on the plant
what do you guys this, thanks im prolly gonna use mg cuz i cant get good soil around here

If you absolutely have to use mg try the MG organic soil. It's a better choice than the regular time released mg soil.

i used to use home depot's soil, came in white and green bags (bout 5 bux), and they have all the stuff there for the mix too, like: blood meal, bone meal, peat moss, cow manure(best deal for 88 cents just don't put in the top 2 in. of mix or u might get flies), lime (if u need it), they have some good nutes too, u can also get the alaskan fish emulsion 5-1-1 which is the best thing for veg in my opinion, (pretty idiot-proof too) but for flower they also have plenty of in-organic water-mixed nutrients available. good luck brotha.

They have the MG organic soil at both places. It's in a green bag. Bought a ton of it this year for my outdoor raised garden (tomatoes, peppers etc.) It's not the best thing but its still the best at HD.

u can use your nutes you have you just dont use them till you see signs of nute loss. MG soil is full of nutes so it takes some time to get rid of it. you might what to do a good flush of the soil before you plant anything in it.

Tried MG once, never again. Made the bud taste funny, even when thoroughly flushed. MG is just not an option for me. Good Luck to you Growone. Keepin us updated with a journal?

A 1/4 or less depending on the size your planting in. I come to find a 1/3 of the size of your plants pot should be adequate..Just be careful whats in the mix when first starting out.
