is miracle grow ok?

I would advise staying away from the miracle grow "moisture control", from personal experience it seems cause more problems then it's worth. I think the biggest issue with most of the MG's is the time released nutrients. I've used Scott's "super soil" which I believe is a subsidiary of the MG brand with good results, no time released nutes. But that moisture control stuff seems like bad juju.

that cuz it has time released nutes and so shit that keeps it moist idk what
any thing at a garden center is most likely to have time release if it dont say it on front look at back where % of ingredents are listed

i used mg with bonzai compost and had exellent veg growth results. four 6 foot northern lights really healthy all male doh.

i've used miracle grow for my last 7 grows... Never again.. It worked, but I've found better stuff..

Here is my opinion on the matter:

Miracle Grow Works Fine

In short, yes, you definitely can use "ordinary" Miracle Gro as fertilizer for your plants and get good results, *IF* you choose the right formulation, and *IF* you use it correctly.

I like Mg organic garden soil because its cheap, then i ammend that with other things like perlite, peatmoss, lime, bloodmeal, and guano to make my own fairly cheap mix that is all organic. there are better soils out there but i like to do things on a budget. and i have no complaints.

some bash mg and ends in big fuss most say u got to throw a bunch of money at high priced nutes from hydro store
bullshit u can get good results with mg just dont use in recommended dosage on package
use half or 1/4 strength

but u will see a bunch people will post yes and others hate on mg and let the pissing match begin

absolutely true. half strength for sure. even less depending on your soil mix. i believe i have earned the title of Miracle Grow Expert here on RIU as it was my quote that the ceo of the company used in a wall street journal article a year ago. you can google it. dannyboy602. see for yourself. even though i originally trashed the product, it turned out i had grown in it and just never looked at the friggin bag. i did my due diligence and proved that MG Organic Choice is good soil. MG nutes are fine for growing. They are SALT BASED and need to be leached before you harvest. You can call it flushing but it makes you look like a stoner not a professional gardener. Your choice. But I don't use much salt based ferts anymore. I use MG Organic Choice and Promix as my base, perlite, composted manure, worm shit and a handful of ground minerals. I mostly just water. I had my soil tested if anyone is interested the reults are posted somewhere. I just want to end by saying I never used EVERY Scott's product. There's some, like the time release ferted soils I won't use. Outdoors mb but not indoors. I wrote to Mr Hagedorn from Scotts. Told him I would do a side by side test and post the results of any soil he wants me to test run. Just send me the soil. Don't make me buy it you cheap ass capitalist. They're targeting the MJ soil buying community now. Anyone see anything yet? I want to try it. I want to eat it. LOL...Jk...Just seeing if you're still awake.
