if your in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is not the best time to grow outdoors. If you start again in the spring, you should have better success....good luck

You should have started them with good dirt. I haven't used miracle grow, but I think they have time released nutes, so if you added compost to that and maybe watered a little too much, then probably your ph dropped a lot. A little food goes a long way. Little plants don't need much. Roots like a lot of oxygen, so if you just pulled dirt from the ground, chances are it is compacted and not draining well. The good news is your not too late to get a good outdoor crop in by restarting.

MJ is an annual plant & was meant to live for only 1 year. It's normal cycle is to sprout from a seed in the spring, grow thru summer, flower in the fall to produce seeds for next year, & then die in the winter.
Your plant did the best it could for being planted during the dying winter season...
