grow soil comparison test

I've never posted before, because I never really had anything interesting, but I notice people like tests, so I did a test comparing grows in two different types of soil. I started 6 plants, and transplanted 3 in MG organic soil, and 3 in MG regular soil that has the time release. All 6 are females. The results are clear which is why I thought I would post. The 3 in the organic soil look like shit compared to the other 3 which are absolutely kicking ass. There is a world of difference. I used the same nutes and watering schedule for all. Same lights. I will never use organic soil again. Their like stunted compared to the 3 in MG normal soil. some Yellow leaves like their burned, or something, and no yellow on the others. Take what you will from this, but I now know.

Why don't you post a picture?

A premix that works great at sea level will burn at higher altitudes, and a mix that works great at higher altitudes won't be enough at lower altitudes. Your test is invalid.

Never heard that one google expert,lol.

It's like if I lived in England and cloned during the foggy time of the year, I probably would not need a humidity dome and I probably would't have to water as much. Same as Vancouver in the spring. But if I was living in a dry arrid area I'd most like need a mini-greenhouse(humidity dome) to maintain clones.

I figured it when a bunch of agriculturalist came to the Rockies thinking they could fertilize newly planted trees with the same mix that was figured in Vancouver Island. It worked great there but it burn't the shit outta' some of the new trees the Quebecers came here to plant a few years before that. Nitrogen dissipitates faster at higher altitudes.

If you are saying you will never use Miracle Grow Organic soil again then that's fine. If you are saying that you will never use ANY type of organics soil based on a one-time Miracle Grow experiment then that is completely ridiculous. Anyone on here could have told you WITHOUT doing the test that the regular Miracle Grow soil would out perform the Miracle Grow Organic. That is not why people use it. People use the Miracle Grow Organic because they don't want to grow with the strong synthetic nutrients in Miracle Grow. If you did the same test with a high quality organic soil and high quality nutrients, I am sure you would get vastly different results.
