    MG uses cheap chemical nutes, It can be used successfully if you HAVE to. it has time released nutrients, most MJ growers want to add certain nutes at certain times. I personally believe that quality and taste is greatly affected and most MG users don't know the difference between High quality smoke and what they've grown with MG. Most growers HATE to be told there stuff sucks.

    you will still need to fertilize mg soil it doesn't do good for the 6 months they claim and you need to be carefull cause you don't know how many nutes are in your soil thats why I use pro mix you know exactly how much your feeding your girls I do wan't to try a few girls in subcools super soil too but later on down the road pro mix is kind of cheap and you can buy cheap nutes from a hydro store

    organic choice is all id use and i compost it really well before even thinking about using it, their slow release shit makes your buds taste horrible and it burns them. id compost the hell out of anything from them if you dont want burns and sour bud. buy some black kow next time, or anything besides MG that doesnt have slow release nutrients, if you want better results grab yourself some earth worms and a compost bin, and some blackstrap molasses to feed microbes if you want an even richer mix. throw in eggshells, old fruit, dead/live leaves, anything high in sugar(soda, juice, etc) to feed microbes, and the roots of any fast growing plants for extra microbe colonies. the soil under a big tree where leaves have broken down over a long time is also a good source of rich soil although it may contain aphids, nothing leaving it out in the hot summer sun cant fix. and try to keep your compost wet as much as you can, with worms it can take anywhere from 1-3(larger bins may need more time, although it depends how many worms you have) months, just use whatevers broken down and probably by the time your plants are big enough for transplant itll be ready, or by the time your realize MG(besides organic choice) is shit. add about 20-40% perlite for good drainage, a layer at the bottom helps out a bunch. if i dont reply directly to this thread feel free to PM me.
    im on riu mostly during the outdoor season, so PM to get in contact, posts could take longer for a response but ill check in when i can.
