ever body talks poorly about mg but im gonna do a grow journal on how well it works.everything i use from mg soil,mg per lite,and mg all purpose veg nutes,and mg super bloom. ive built a grow box out of a plastic wardrobe from home depot.17w t-5 floro for clone chamber,175wmh for the veg/mom chamber and a 400whps for flower.ill post pics as soon as i figure out how! my seeds are from cannabisseeds.com(im not sure how i feel bout the genetics yet,we'll find out together!)white widow and 1 supersilverhaze.im trying to do a perpetual harvest but these plants stretch so much that the younger plants dont get as much light as i want.ive built an "el cheapo"areo cloner,and it rocks i get roots in about 5 days.ive got my own home made h2o maker it a 5gal water jug, brewers yeast,and a shit load a sugar like i said ill get some pics up.well let me figure out how to work this camera thing,im pretty computer illiterate so bear with me.

i planted a seed back in aug.to grow out a mother plant i thought my odds for a fem were good because they were feminized seeds but being new to buying feminized seeds i didn't, really understand how it worked,but that plant grew out to be a male so i planted the rest of my seeds and said f!@#k it.i ended up with only 3 males.so not bad for cheap seeds imo.i started the seeds in black golds seed starter and then after about a week transplanted into 5.5*5.5 square pots and mg moister control soil.well it didnt take long to see i had some probs.my plants were turning yellow and getting wilty so i made the rookie mistake and fed them,then they got even worse then i realised that they were starving for oxy so i mixed some perlite,about 60-40,added about 1 tsp of h2o2 to my water and i seen massive improvment buy the next day.i waterd with plain water for a couple of weeks the started feeding with mg all purpose ferts mixed at .5tsp per gal for the first couple of watering then upped it to 1tsp per gal for another week flushed and stuck in the flowering chamber,then they got mg bloom a .5tsp for the first feeding then 1tsp per gal.after that.my temps stay about 70f at night to 80f in the day.i dont have a clue about humity.its probably around 40% im sure.

I use MG all the time.I at first had a problem with the moisture control they came out with but I've never had a problem with MG. There are those purists who insist it's shitty but hell it works great for me. Here is a close up of one that's not quite ready yet and all I did with it was the moisture control soil, no nutes no Ph, no nothing and it was outside for my short ass growing season. Glad to see a pro MG site

the box was 149.00 at home depot i bought the 400hps last year for 100.00 the 175mh i traded a friend,he had it for a driveway light!the 17wt-5 was 20.00 the fans there is 3 all together 80.00 for all of them together 30.00 for the air pumps to work the cloner and co2 20.00 for dryer hose.dirt and etc...less than 500.00 and it works awsome as good as a 2900.00 box and its stealthy too!! my temp stay good as long as the fans are on when the doors are closed im pretty happy with it so far.

nice setup! i will be interested to watch this..I actually use all Miracle grow products myself and have had no problem..there seed starter mix is great..and I also use they're basic plant food for veg..then switch to the bloom booster when I flower..works great for my budget..
