miracle gro organic soil says it feeds plants for up to 2 months. does it have enough nutrients for marijuana? i want to stay organic and i'm also on a bit of a budget. They are barely sprouts.
at what point should i start feeding?
what should i feed them?
at what strengths/ how often?

I would add some dolomite lime to that soil first off because miracle gro soil has fucked me a time or two. I would start feeding after the first month or so. I use grow big and fish emulsion for veg. Give them nutes at 1/4 to 1/2 strength the first 2 to 3 feedings and then go full strength. I feed once a week with nutes and guano tea once a week also. Is your name supposed to be orange kush with a k? lol

Ok, i already have seeds planted, so how do i add the dolomite?
do i use the grow big and fish emulsions as nutes? or as supplements?
and then what do i feed during flower?
ahah, sorry for all the questions, this is like my first indoor grow. my outdoor wasn't good though.
my nickname when i was little was cush (k-oo-sh) before i even knew what weed was.. i just decided to keep it as a c, still sorta looks like kush... idk x)

I use mirical grow organic chocie garden soil with great results. it has the nitrgen your plants need, it dont have enough nutes in the right ratio to grow cannabis on it's own. I mix a 1 cu/ft Organic chocie garden soil in with a bale of pro-mix.

It has slow release chick pooh in it. I veg my plants/TREE's for 2- 3 months so it uses most of the nitrgen up

I'm using fox farm ocean forest at the moment, but I have used miracle gro moisture control soil in the past, never tried the organic miracle gro tho. When I used the moisture control soil it got way to acidic a few week into flower and my plants just stopped growing. Go to the fox farm website and they have a nute feeding schedule that tells you everything you need to know.

Just dont use MG anymore. It's hard to say how it will react with your plant since you have no idea what nutes made it into your pot of soil. Make sure you have some nutes ready for afyer the second month of growth when all the time real ease nutes are gone.

I begin Nutes @ about a month in MG organic.
Love MG soil an Nutes, they work great cheep.
Nothing wrong with it.

Let the pot get dry an light feeling before watering an it.

Lime isn't Nessecary but it's good insurance.
You can water it in 1tblspoon per gal every few months.

alright sweet. i guess this time around i'll just deal with it, and then for my next grow i'll be sure to get some good shit.
does anyone have any sort of fertilizer they recommend for use with MG organic?

Green bag or brown?, they have 2 blends. And their site is really vague, doesn't even tell you what's in it. What is the "extended release" would be my question.

Lol
They don't look burnt from fertilizer?????
Just moisture stressed to me.

They should be ok, don't water for awhile.

you can make teas with the rest of your nutes if you got any.

Also, for seedlings, i use a mix of 1/2 seedling soil, 1/4 perlite and 1/4 vermiculite.

seedlings dont need nutes till about 3 weeks into the grow...
