OK guys, I posted a thread last night, and really didn't get much help at all! I really need some help here fellas!! I have a journal going, with this particular grow, to get to it, all you gots to do, is go to my profile, look for my journal, Cfl + Hps grow, and check it out... For start to now pictures to learn a little more.. But for now, what the problem/problems!! I have two girls going, Humboldt(feminized) & Auto Blue Mystics(feminized) The Blue Mystic is the bitch giving me all the damn problems!! I had recently transplanted them both, reason for this is to sink there stems up to there lower leaves. I did use the same soil that they where in, bc it was less then a week old. I am using MG ( Miracle Grow) potting soil, and I started noticing the bottom two single leaves on the Blue Mystics turning a yellowish color on me! I figured this was due caused by the transplant, but really not to sure! I didn't think it's a nute deficiency, bc the MG has nutes already in it, hell it may be, I really am not 100% positive on anything, that why I am asking for your help! So, I am posting up a few pictures of her, so you can see exactly what I am talking about with her!.. And also, I was in there earlier (grow room) and I noticed a tiny little bug in the soil, and then I got to looking closer, and opened up the bag of soil, the Mg, and seen one or two in it, I don't think it's spider mites, bc I don't see any tiny webs, and they don't even look like spider mites.. I figured they where microbes,"ubiquitous",omnipresent, and I will never get rid of them, at least I don't think so, cause aren't they in every grow/ soil/garden we deal with!? I could be wrong, but I really do believe that's what they are... ? I am more concerned about the yellowish turning single leaves, "the two single blades/fans that come out" right above the 1'st thumb looking leaves... ?? So, here are the pictures... Please help me out guys... Thanks, Later... D.. :sad:Auto Blue Mystics.. 01 31 2012..jpgBlue Mystics. A Week Old. Side Shot. 01 31 2012..jpg

miracle grow is not good starter soil for seedlings. see that little round bead? that's a time release fertilizer don't use any nutrients yet. wait a while longer until after you transplant. You don't want water drops on the leaves it could act like a magnifying glass and burn the plants. over all it looks ok. make sure you ph your water at 6.8

Go to Home Depot/Lowes, grab some PeatMoss and Perlite...mix it with your soil, place the pots in overwater trays, and only water them when you can stick you finger in about an inch and feel no moisture

mg can work fine you just don't want to water so often. next year they will come out with a cannabis formula then everyone will be using it you watch!

What others have said, stop watering so much. It's a good idea to mist them a bit while they are young to keep them moist. Let the soil get on the dry side, especially with MG soil since every time you water it's going to release nutes that a seedling doesn't even need yet.

It can but most of the people with trouble are using this brand, I'd place a HUGE banner warning growers.

It's likely because a lot of them are newbies. So they are going out and buying what's easily available being MG. Chances are had they purchased something else they would likely still have some problems. MG is fine if you know what you are doing.

MG sucks dude, you wont change my opinion ever. The fact that you "gotta use it right" makes it worthless as a buffer/forgiving medium.

M.G. Is to soil what Mc Donalds is to food.
Seedlings dont require nutrients let alone HPS lighting at this stage.
A cfl and a little less water would be beneficial to these seedlings this
You more than likely are seeing soil gnats, not spider mites.
yellow sticky traps will literally stop them in their tracks.

MG is great, put it at the bottom of the pot, with v low nutrient soil on top, by the time the roots get down to the bottom, a fair amount of nutrients have already left the MG. You notice after about 2 weeks plants very healthy and rapid rapid growth. Only used MG for my first grow , second third fourth fifth i didnt, and yields were less, so this grow im using MG again at the bottom, all seedlings healthy apart from a blue cheese which is yellow and stunted, f*** knows whats wrong with it, i think ive over watered her so will soon see, but yea, MG is amaingly good.

And this is exactly what I am doing guys... These was a shot right after I had misted them a little... I NEVER mist them and then place them back under the light!!
Thanks for all the comments/help though.. And with the MG ( Miracle Grow) potting soil, ha,ha.. That's literally the ONLY soil this shit ass town I live in has!! There's NO Home Depot,
nor any green houses here, the ONLY chooses I have are either Lowe's, or the world famous wally world, and piss on them!! ;-) They suck for gardening supply's! So, I guess I am going to have to just to what I have been doing since here recently and order off line!! So OK with me though, I would prefer too! And basically the reason why I am not running to the store and buying up a bunch of soil, vermiculite,perlite,and all the other soil grow needs for a good soil grow is just this. I had recently ordered over this weekend purchased me a DWC & DTF 6 spot system.. And a bunch of other supply's to go with it as well.. Which, dont get me wrong, I LOVE a good soil grow guys, I just have NEVER did DWC/hydro, and I have always wanted to give it a go! And I have been reading like a mother fucker on how to... So, with all that said, my question would be, so can I take these girls and transplant them from this soil grow into my DWC when it arrives???

I will say this, if you understand what you are getting into with MG soil, and work it properly, it can be very good for vegging MJ.
But like the other poster above said, by the time you have a good understanding to know how to work it properly, you've learned there is much better, easier to work with soil to be found.

Honestly, just bc someone has "problems" doesn't mean it's bc there a "newbie"! Hell "experienced" growers have the same amount of problems just like a "newbie"!
Just some newbies have more problems then others.. And sometimes it's not bc there newbies either, it may have something to do with a particular strain there
trying to grow! Some harder, some easier! I myself am not a so called "newbie" as you would say to organic grows by far! And all of us need help at times, I am in no way
saying that I know every thing, or never will you hear those words come out my mouth! Bc I believe life is a NEVER ending journey/learning experience!
And I believe that will learn something new everyday, until the day we pass on to the other side!

I'll put it simple 50% Californian worm humus 2 tbs of Dolomite per gallon and 50% of perlite. Recipe of Success! The soil is so airy that dries like little pebbles. :)
