Miracle grow organic..can i use this the hole cycle...when to start feeding

when should I start feeding in the begging or veg....I was going too use mg plant food,and what should I use in the flowering..what good nutes does lowes have I could use...and should I mix the organic with peat and perlite and lime..trying to doo like a lowes or Walmart only buying items...

I would never flower with mg but I think it's fine for mama plants. Would not recommend running it through flower though.

why are you limiting yourself to the cheap bargain soils? crap ingredients will get you crap results.

I'd have to disagree, sometimes when I have to use mg or Scotts for whatever reason, I've never had a problem with it. I would never flower with mg but it works great for mamas.

Edit : not Scotts, Schultz, I've never used Scotts, these pictures are Schultz

MG will work fine. But, you need strong hardy genetics. MG will probably mess up some sensitive strains. But, many of the autos out there are hardy ruderalis and they have tuff genetics. Bag seed is probably tough and that is what the commercial gorilla growers used to grow the brick weed anyway.

Organics and chemical nutes can get tricky. When they start to lighten up in color you should start with feeding. Be conservative with the strength of the food until you figure out how much your plants can handle. As far as other plant foods from Lowe's I found some liquid food I pushed some plants through flower with and they performed great. Stuff is called Vigoro. Picked up a small jug of the 10-10-10(with micro nutes as well)and it pushed em right through after stretch. That, MG all purpose in veg and calmag+ throughout the grow kept my girls good and healthy. Got some fat & tasty nugs after everything was said and done.

If your only option is MG though the tomato formula has good results through flower.

thanks for the info...I just cant get any good stuff like fox farm in less I drive hour an 30 down the road...I used the rmg garden soil and peat and perlite and grow some dank ass mids andi did not feed then one time...first time also ...got 3 ounces from each plant..if I could get a better soil like mg organic and actually feed them the whole time...I could probley get close to 6 ounces...I grow the worst way and still had great mids results for some reason..

If you want the absolute basics on the cheap, Peters or Miracle Grow will work in a pinch. Go with highest Nitrogen rating for Veg (30-10-10) or just all purpose 20-20-20. For flower, Get something like 5-50-17, or 10-60-10. For seedlings, use 1/2 strenght for the 1-st month. After that you can CAREFULLY adjust a little higher. Peace-

MG has been proven to grow MJ fine over and over and over.

and a pinto can get you from point A to point B. i am not starting to flame but there are better soils out there, fuck i started with MG my first grow but have since moved on. but with the reasons OP said, MG will have to work, just understand there is better.

Right on, if there is any possible chance to use a better soil, definitely do so, I've only one plant in a MG type soil and I'm not even sure how it got in there lol. Vermi-fire is a decent organic bag soil that may be easier to find than other "good" soils. Maybe the OP can find Vermi-fire easier than a FF brand.

Yeah, that's totally a good point. Some coco/ perlite is cheap and some bottled nutes, which ever organic/ synthetic, would work great and cost less than buying bagged soils. I tried lucas in my ebb system and wasn't too impressed, it did work ok though. Dyna gro would be just as cheap and simple, most likely better results.
