Soil?

My seedling is currently growing quite rapidly in a jiffy pot with miracle gro. I've since read that miracle gro will kill my plant, so what soil should I transplant my jiffy pot into?

I'm 5 weeks in to flower using miracle-gro potting mix and have had no problems yet. I didn't even add perlite and it's still got real good drainage but it does have a little bit of wood chips in it and that I don't like but other than that I don't have no complaints but I have not used any other soil so I could not tell you if fox farm and such are worth the extr effort but people swear by it so...

Peace

ProMix. If you can find it where you live. It's made from peat moss, vermiculite, perlite and limestone. The limestone acts as a pH neutralizer that keeps levels in the ideal range for most potted plants (including cannabis) so you don't have to worry about pH levels. The vermiculite and perlite give it really good moisture retention. It's also really cheap where I live. Very popular product with bikers.

Failing that, buy some good quality potting soil and stay on top of the pH and I think you should be fine. I know some people will mix in shit like sand, more perlite, and plant-food mixes with their potting soil, but if you're just starting out like me it's probably better to start simple right?

Miracle Gro is one of those things some people swear off, and some people have always been able to use successfully. I think that the MG with time released nutrients in it is really bad for cannabis plants.
