Reply With QuoteThe regular mg has a ph of like 5.0. It screwed me up a few times. I would want to know the ph. If it is close to nutral then I would try it out.
Potting Mix
Alright I don't know if anyones seen this out there or has tried it but I went to my local home depot and saw that miracle grow has come out with an organic mix...100% organic with organic nutes(not the usual harsh miracle grow formula)I looked at the NPK values and it was actually lower than soil ive used in the past...so I was wondering if you think it would be okay for my next grow??..one of the bags were open at the store and the soil looked very rich I think with some perlite added it could be a nice mix...but I'll wait for suggestions before buying thanks for comments

from what my meter says its about 6.7 but I think my meter is broken because its been reading everything at that pH or somewhere near it..I think I'll have to get a new one and then get back to you on that one
Whats up widow been awhile
Peace aces

If you live in an area that has a Home Depot, then you should be able to put this mix together:
2 parts Schultz's Potting Soil Plus.
1 part Perlite.
1 part Vermiculite.
1 part Worm Castings.
1 SMALL handful of Granulated Dolimite Lime per TWO gallons of mix.
All of the above should be available at your local nursery.
You won't need any fertilizers for the first 45 days of your grow with this mix. marijuana loves this soil mix.

alright thanks Vi...I believe I saw all those except maybe the Worm castings(also didn't look) at the home depot so I'll have to run buy and pick that up..Apreciate it
Smoke ...
Check your local nursery for the worm castings. They may have to order it for you. Be sure to include it in your mix ... mj just LOVES the stuff.

Alright so I asked the customer service people about the miracle gro organic mix and they said its "neutral" with a pH between 5.0-7.5 which is a pretty broad range for one thing and thats not very neutral if it can be anywhere between that so I don't know what the guy was talking about...I guess you just got to hope for a high pHed bag of MG...that or add some pH+ to be on the safe side
My preference is ProMix BX,
Agway carries it, or look at the link below.
This is my favorite soilless mix.
I add vermiculite and perlite as well as a generous amount of dolomite lime.
IMO, worm castings are not needed if using Jack's Classic with the promix. It certainly can't hurt, it's only that I've become too lazy over the years to keep using it!

If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest or some guy on TV telling you how to do your shit, then YOU DESERVE IT.

Smoke dont scrimp around on the soil dude. I did and its just a waste of your effort in the end. Yea you get a little experience out of it, but if I could do it over again I would spend top dollar on the best soil for growing ganj. And you should too!
