Was it a typical burn... starting at the tip of the leaf?

cheers

On the bubblicious about two weeks after germination the yellow started at the end of the leaf w/ a couple small dots in the middle.
Others after transplanting just kinda turned clear and sort of melted above the surface. Now my 1 White Rhino is getting curled leaves w/ a touch of yellow at the tips. So I changed the soil for her too. There were a lot of other factors involved too that I'm sure contributed.
I mostly started this thread just to let others know about the nutes in the soil.

I have used MG Moisture Control for 3 years..but I mix 1 part MG, 1 part peat moss and 1 part pearlite. After I transplant to 3 gallon and change to 12/12 I also use Shultz 10-15-10 liquid fertilizer every other watering. Never had a problem with burning. I average about 1.5 oz per plant. Just my experience.....

I was wondering if it would still work if it was mixed, thanks it sounds like a good ratio.
I plant to still use the MG (I have two bags) in my outdoor mix and plan to use coco coir or at least spagnum peat moss, MG, and Perlite.

Yes once the plants are old enough MG soil can be great for outdoors.

What????
That can't be possible Mr. Whiner.
There must have been some other issue. Did you use other nutes as well?

I use MG for seedling and sprouts and then MG moisture control and have used it now for about 7 years of growing at least.

Thats what I thought, thanks again for confirming.
As I understand it the high nitrogen in it should be good for the veg cycle, but I'll still mix it Peat & Perlite & MGmc & Rich Wisconsin Dirt

Honestly I did no other feeding because I knew the soil was already hot enough. Maybe it was the strains but It literally fried them.
