What's wrong with micacle grow potting soil?

JN811 said:
let me tell you as i used it about a week or two age. To start, It has terrible water retention. The soil has little bugs in the bag. It has no perlite. My plants look very unhealthy compared to the plants i used fox farm happy frog.

This goes hand in hand. Like i said, you need to know how to use it.

Its bound to happen..probably the retalier fault.

User error...
 
The problem I see is the uncontrolable release of nutes. Some plants need more water than others but if you water to much it will burn the plants. When plants are young they need a lot of water. If you don't give them enough it slows growth. Also MG is full of forest compost and it all eventually works its way to the serface. Not to mention you are feeding your plants chemically which may give u a slightly, and I mean slightly bigger yield but your buds won't taste near as good if you stay organic. A better alternative if you are going department store grade is Shultz organic potting mix ($6 a bag) and add some perlite and verm and u r good to go. I believe the next most important thing next to genetics is you growing medium. Don't go through all the trouble and time and use 2nd grade soil. Its not for cannabis.

You do realize your watching a promotional video right?
Your being suckerd into beleaving THEIR product is better than others..

Ok so lets multiply that 30 by..hmm 10 bags lets say. I think thats an extra 300$
And with your grammer, i would guess your not a day over 17

Nutrients are their to help growth and bud production..so they say.
But in no way does it reflect on the amount of thc being produced.

And like i said before..miracle grow isnt the best, but it definatly works.

Once again...quit getting all your info off of youtube.

and your guess, like most of your information is wrong. i am 24 and know for a fact advanced nutrients is better then most everything out there... through both mine and friends experience. and if you mean to tell me a plant grown with just water as apposed to a plant on a healthy diet that they will produce buds of the same caliber? silly
 
Ha, so now that youve totally ignored the original question, i think that proves somthin..
Ignorance is bliss!

Btw..that wasnt grammar you were fixing ;-)
I can admit my spelling is less than subpar...

im gald you pointed out all of those errors. I was about to rip his ass to shreds after I read that post. you just can't critique someone else on their grammar, and then procede to pound out a long list of fucking retarded spelling errors. it is plain that this one has no idea what he is even talking about. I use Roots soil, with advanced nutrients, and i promise that my herb kicks the ass off of the schwag mr retro is harvesting.
