Quick question about Miracle-grow soil

Hiya, the grow I am working on I have been using the Miracle-grow soil (feeds pants for 3 months) So far so good i dont have any problems with it so far, but did have a question if any experienced growers wouldn't mind giving me some info that used it before.

1) Can the food thats in the soil be flushed out if the 3 months is not up?

Reason I ask along with the couple plants I have growing now I have seeds on the way from attitude and gonna start them in smaller pots and transplant them 3 weeks into veg. After 5 weeks of veg I put my plants in flower and the flower time for these strains is roughly 8 weeks and we all know what happens if we dont flush the left over food out dont we :cry:

Meh. Miracle Gro. I wouldnt recommend it unless you have a good idea on how to properly amend it

After reading Seemorebuds' "Buds for less" book where he grew 8oz with 3 plants using the same soil I thought I would give it a shot. 8oz with 3 plants isn't a bad turn out IMO might not be good enough for yall but figured since I was low on flow atm I would try it. I know I might not do 8oz with 3 plants. But after reading the book a few times I figured I would give it a shot. I have used FFoF before as well as coco, you will never know the results until you try things out for yourself cause everyone has different growing environments, no grow is the same its all trial and error, all we really can do is get as much info as we can then decide if its worth giving it a shot. I'll be making a journal once my seeds get in. I'll be growing Greenhouse seeds "Train Wreck" and Barney's Farms "Blue Cheese".
I do thank you guys for your input and warnings :mrgreen:

and im a perpetual grower so 8 oz a month is wat i shoot for so its a great number especially off 3 plants. i do auto flower starins so im kinda on the commercial sog side of things but i shoot for high quality buds

Yeah nature is a mystery all on its own :blsmoke: Ya know I was gonna try some of the "lowlyfe" autoflower strains but never really spoke with anybody who used them before. Hows the end result per plant? Of course different environment conditions can vary the result but I always assumed about or close to 1 oz per plant. And I am very excited about these strains, heard nothing but great things about both of them :mrgreen:

well the lowlife auto aks are like the biggest yielders. sometimes 2 to 2.5 an oz per plant is common in good conditions( light, nutes, ventilation, TLC), i have 10 of those goin right now. i also have blueryder and diesel ryder goin as well. 5 of each seed non fem, the aks are fem f1. i hear great things bout um as to this is my first grow, jus doin two at a time for stealthier but large yields since they are growin at two diff spots. i jus ordered 30 fem auto lowlife hindu kush and dieselryder to get started in 3 weeks. im also addin 250 watts, tho i may not need it for the autos cuz i like sog growing, but i def cant hurt at all

2-2.5 oz is sweet, Good luck on your grow buddy, I heard hindu kush and dieselryder are both killer strains. If you start a gro journal on here send me the link would love to see how they turn out :peace: Thx for the info :mrgreen:

Nice thx Bannaboat, yeah alot of people dont have many great things to say, but when i read threads about the people that used the soil, they add nutes and burn the plants, when the soil has time released chemically derived nutes in it. The couple plants that I have just triggered into flower I have used folliar spay (VHO, wet betty, and Grandma engy's seaweed extract from advanced nutrients) and never had any problems, they look strong healthy and really nice. They are bagseed however and they have white hairs (preflowers) kinda wondering how they are gonna turn out.:blsmoke:
