Yeah just tiny ass little bugs and a big ol fat dude that likes to hang on the bottom of a leaf. And I found out something critical today. The miracle gro hydrate I'm using is just an amendment and not actual soil..

Oh Yea! MG anything is not good to start out on. And I know exactly where u got ur bugs was from that MG is notorious for bug eggs and pre mixed nutes that r only released with water dude MG is NOT for beginners people r shun apon for growing with MG but I've seen some kick ass grows from experienced old growers but in my personal experience I've failed time and time again. Save some $ up and def. Get some good stuff. There is all kinds to choose from the more expensive the better usually. . I personally use Prococo peat/coco compressed bricks. I just break a little chunk off and put it in a bucket with about a liter or less of water and let it soak for a few mins and then break it up in to soil lol great stuff!!! Then it only holds wat it needs and the rest will run thru. So u r the only one giving it wat it needs no additional shit to make shit bad and if u do end up making a mistake is very forgiving as in flushing. The only problem is I have to water very slow to make sure everything is moist. coco is like a spunge and absorbs only as much as it can hold. But get ur self something better and transplant into maybe a little smart pot which r only like a buck or two. I personally use Arora pots. They r cheaper then smart pots but they work just as well if not better!

I think they have little bricks of good shit at home depot or walmart. U have no flower store or hydroponics store near u? That's honestly where u can get cheap good soil but look around in HD or WM

Yeah it just sucks living in a small town haha. So I'll never get MG again ha. Just gonna bite the bullet and get some fox farm and maybe mix it with something so it doesn't burn the plants so bad

So today I broke down and went and bought some FFoF and some FF big bloom nutes(all they had was the instant kind but it was only 12$). One of my plants was just so bad I took it out of the pot and trashed it. so now I only have one plant left. I'm gonna try and transplant and post up another thread on how to do so. Any good guides for transplanting? Or should I just start over?

Moisten the top of soil kinda smash/massage (squeeze sides) the soil till it forms and won't fall apart. Flip it upside down and pull pot off slowly. Fill bigger pot with soil enough to put ur plant in and still see light then fill around it don't pack it down just leave it loose cause when u water it compacts is self. Good luck man keep updating!

You think the nutes that come in the ffof soil will shock my plant? Or will it be super happy and thrive cause I put her in there?
