I'd recommend some sterile soil... you should be able to find it at wally world in the same section you found the MG....... I've never used MG and won't use it as I've heard it's easy to cause nute burn.......

as to watering... you cannot just get away with misting your plants... you must water the soil......... or the roots will dry up....

I started my plants with MG soil and it went good for a little while then all of a sudden they turned to crap. I transplanted into Pro-Mix soil and they took back off. I don't like having the nutes in the soil, you have no control over the amount. The link in my sig will bring you to my grow and you can see for yourself how it went. I'm not saying it doesn't work, But it sucked for me. Plus you have really nice lights and awesome seeds, might as well get good soil. Its like having a brand new Ferrari and putting rims and tires from the junk yard on it. I got my Pro-mix soil at a Blue-seal farm supply store. 3.5 cu/ft for $20. It has peatmoss, vermiculite, perlite and sand pre-mixed. Its actually not even soil because its 90% peatmoss. Thats my 2 cents.

the thing is not everyone has specialty stores near them. all home depots/lowes sell is MG/Scotts etc.. Especially this time of yr.

Justa suggestion based on personal expierience. Alot of people never think of the agways or blue seals. They head straight for Depot or Lowes.

I've been able to find sterile soil at all the walmarts and rona's and homedepots...

and no sterile soil you don't have to add anything *other then your nutes when it's time!!!!*.... my sterile soil has 40% sand 40% Hummus and 20% vermiculite *wrong I know :P*

the stuff costs me $3 and I get 10L
