would you think it be better to put them in on their 8th or 9th week.?

Again, it all depends on how hot (or nutrient rich) you make the medium. If it aint that hot do it at 2-3 weeks, if it is then yes, I would wait until later in life to transplant... but not that long unless your ready to accommodate some rather large plants. How old are these things again?

they will sprout in a day or two. ja. just want to have it all ready.

Good call. Preparation is key.

dont ever add nutes to any miracle grow product or you will fry those babies for sure. all miracle grow feeds up to 3 months which mean it contains nutes,of course its the wrong ratio nutes which is why real growers dont use it.but since its to late.just add water and when you transplant add LOTS of perlite,id say 50-50,or your roots will not grow due to soil compaction which WILL happen with miracle grow siols.you should spend 50 bucks on good soil next time so you dont waste money on 100 dollars worth of seeds.good luck

what about mg seed starter or sumtin like that. and then i transplant at around 8 weeks. is that good?

oh yea then my mix 50 50 wit perlite. right?

The Only time I'll use MG from now on is when I'm getting the seeds started out, after germination, but before they are ready for big girl soil... a little MG seed starting mix with a little extra perilite works.... at least it is right now!

I germinate in plain potting soil with perlite in 4" pots and add nothing for seedling growth until after two weeks, when I transplant them into larger containers using what will be their regular soil mix for their life cycles.

As I've stated before, I'd never use anything by Miracle Grow solely because their profits go to their owner, Monsanto, which has the most despicable agricultural philosophy and practices on the face of the planet.

I guess I need to do some googling on him, I'd never heard his name until you mentioned it....

I don't even see MG listed as a company
not saying your wrong, just don't see it, wikipedia has some info on what you were saying...
"Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation and political lobbying practices, have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the alter-globalization movement and environmental activists."

Interesting...

what up guys, Well i just got my seeds a few days ago and They are doing fine on Mg starter soil. I'm so happy.

Mine started to show a ever so slight Magnesium deficiency just around the time I transplanted, just in case be prepared for that! Cowboy said to give it a touch of Epson salt to fix it right up, but don't both until you see signs of it....

thanks. they are still on mg soil outside. Even survived strong storms.
I'll put a pic on soon.
She is on a beer cup almost 4 weeks, Has been constantly attacked by BUGS!!!
