this seedling is 2 1/2 weeks old as is getting burnt up by this soil. im using 80%Mircale grow organic choice with 20% miracle grow perlite.i know everywhere on this site it sais to stay away from this stuff, but i bought a bunch of different miracle grow soils before i started reading on this site and thought this would be my best choice.Im kinda on a budget, i need to know how to fix this.

I tried flushing them till the run off water is clear,it was really yellow, and the perlite doesnt even look white anymore, they are a orange tint.

Can i transplant from soil to coco?

I have a couple clones im transplanting into bigger pots, im wondering if i can switch from soil to coco?

If it is the soil, as it looks like it is, repot them with a better one! Gently crack the soil around the roots and you're good to go.

you can try and wash out thew roots and transplant to another medium. may not go well. i see N deff and rust disease there. most MG is time release so more water means more foods and drops ph to make them deff,. and i barely see any perilite in it, not that it would make a diff.

I'm not sure if you can transplant them to coco though... probably yes at this stage but I'd stick to soil... a better soil.
Cheers!

i think he means to break some off bit at a time so nto to damage roots much then yes rinse as much of th soil off them roots then go to coco. slight diff pH but they should be ok after a bit of shock.
will need to use calcium if going to coco, and should help with the rust

Yes they can go from soil to coco with no problem.
I use mg soil and had the same problem.I flushed the soil and my plants seem to be much better.
But next im going with ffof soil probably get some coco coir bricks as well.

Don't blame it on MG soil, there's something else to this story. Those seedlings look like they are major over watered and you've probably been trying to give them nutes as well. I don't see any perlite in the pics, so I think you just might be fibbing a bit.

theres perlite in there i just added a fresh layer of soil on top yesterday.i think i made it worse yesterday by trying to flush but i rather wipe all that yellow shit outta there.

damn i really cant afford a $25 bad of ff rite now. im supposed to get the coco 1st for my clones.

ok so i know they need to get outta that soil but realisticlly they cant as of rite now the clones come first. i cant loose this strain tough. its fiyahhhhh

should i cut back on watering till i transplant?

YOU ARE SOOOOO WRONG!

no nutes, all my other plants get the same water same treatment and arent having this problem. ITS THE SOIL!

If you flushed they should be fine.Mine started to look better after the flush so dont worry too much.

Jeez . why would switching to coco help him ? Coco requires more experiance than soil doesn't it ? Just like others said transplant them to new soil with no time release fert . Mix with perlite 3 to 1 . This ratio helps them dry out faster and drains fast so u don't get overwatering problems .

thats not how to use perilite. it need to be mixed well into the medium, not in chunks like that and roots hate light. cover them cups

Miracle-Gro Organic Choice

I have an organic vegetable garden and wanted organic soil to start my seeds indoors. Nurseries, garden supply stores, department stores ... I couldn’t believe how difficult it was to locate an organic soil. Then I discovered Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Garden Soil last year, and I’m using it again this year.


Description

This soil is in a green polybag that holds 1 cubic foot (28.32 L). The net weight is 20 pounds. The bag is marked in both English and Spanish and claims: “Grows Twice as Many Vegetables” ... Produce el doble de vegetables.

Miracle-Gro states that this soil was specially created for the organic gardener (and is not intended for commercial growing). It contains a premium blend of sphagnum peat moss, compost and natural fertilizers. The fertilizer offers both quick and continuous release of nitrogen and is designed for use with vegetables, annual and perennial flowers.

The instructions are simple: Mix the Miracle-Grow Organic soil with native soil (the soil in your yard), plant, water well and cover the area with mulch. This soil is not meant for container gardening.

its not soo much of switching to coco. i have some clones in coco rite now that need to be transplanted. i was going to buy coco today but i cant afford also to get fox farm soil rite now. mayb next week. i was wondering if i can just use the coco instead of having to go back for more soil next week.

im sure i did it properlly. i mixed 3 cups of soil with 1 cup of perlite in a gabage bag and tossed it around eally good to get a even mix. i also threw a layer at the bottom to get good drainage, then mixed my bag of the soil/perlite i made into the cup.

Well,I won't go so far as to say he's fibbing, but I will agree that there is another problem here. That isn't fert burn, it looks more like nutelock, to me. Fert burned plants are usually dark green and crispy-looking, not yellow and deficient looking. Hmm....I suspect a PH problem. What is the PH of your water, reguardless of what your other plants look like? Also, do you have pics of your other plants? I'd like to see those, as well. :)
