Miracle grow sucks!

im on week 3 of flowering now and my MG soil has been eating away my lady. im going to flush for 2nd time tonight. this is what all of my lower leaves are looking like.

only the first picture is damaged.

I looked at your pics but dont see the problem.
Okay the first pic . Thats not too bad seen alot worse . I,d steer clear of MG period .

Miracle Grow is hell for smokeables and edibles.... anything not shit related sucks. Shit - as in guano, scat or manure.

is it the time release soil? if so everytime you flush your releasing more nutes into it, and could be doing more damage than good.

Did you mix with perlite? I use mg soil mix with perlite and my plants act good in it.Flush the soil should be fine after.

so i flushed a couple days ago and shes looking much better....

Your plant looks pretty good to me.

Yeah next time try going with some other soil i wont be using it no more either.

shes looking much better after the 4 gallon flush no more nute burn thank god.

Hey man, are you using foil or a fire blanket for your reflective surfacing? I'm just curious because they're two of the lesser reflective surfaces; which you might already know by now. But in the future, cardboard spray painted white is ultra ghetto but works uber well. Mylar is also decent; Ebay's the place to go for that. White painted walls = the best.
And btw they are looking much better.

MG soil is garbage. (I used Jungle growth Water Wise) However I have had decent results with their nutes.

you can't flush a time release. it will make it worse. by over feeding and you can get some good yeilds from mg if you do it right by not adding mg nut.

I'm still confused why anyone would use the most well known, mass manufactured soil or nutrient supplier in existence; supplying nothing but manufactured fertilizers and products created from laboratory chemical compounds. Even Miracle Grow's "Organic" soil isn't even organic.... all those harsh chems get absorbed by your plants. In turn you're consuming the products you put in your plants. Why would anyone use anything other than natural nutrients for natural plants? We don't need a bunch of chemical ferts to grow hugegantic buds or vegetables people. The way of the poop is the way it should be... that's how the earth's run so vigorously until we tech savvy's came along...

Ya it's amazing how much of a difference flushing your plants can make a difference, esp if you immedietely identify the problem and react quickly. Doesn't look like you allowed much damage to your plant. It will thrive without a couple dead fan lower fan leaves.

I would highly consider an upgrade in nutrients. Cannabis specific nutes would be best, and my personal preference is organics, but it's all about finding what works best for you. Don't buy anything that can be potentially confusing to you. And feel free to grab a bunch of small bottles of various products and test them out. Certainly nothing that you can do overnight.

Best of luck!
