Growing with Miracle Grow Questions ?? EXPERTS HELP PLEASE

Okay I know the Miracle Grow Moisture Control(50% MG and 50% regular soil from the hole) is not the best but I have a couple questions about it. Also FYI Im only gonna use ph'd water for veg and when MG runs out right around flowering im gonna use fox farm big bloom.

1.) When I transplant outside should I use Great White Mycorrhizae beneficial bacteria root ?

2.) I know soil ph should be around 6.0-6.5 how important is this?? And do u use lime to bring soil ph down and how much lime for a 1.5 x1.5x1.5 hole to bring it down from the 7.5 range ?? NOT SURE IF I EVEN NEED LIME OR SOMETHING ELSE IF IM USING MIRACLE GROW ???

MG is a no go for me bro... The only food my plants get are what I give them. A neutral medium is always best, in my opinion. I dont think anyone will be able to tell you exactly how much to use to drop your PH, that is something you have to figure out because everyones water is different depending on where it comes from (City, Well, Stream, etc.) Just keep track of how much you use so you know for future watering.

Let's see, what can I add that has not been said here yet.

You might be better off with just using the organic natural native soil that you dug the hole into?

Add dolomite lime and perlite. The perlite will make the soil be able to breath. Lots of ppl told me to do that when I advertised that I was using MG Organic. But I did not listen, at first. After a couple weeks, not even actually, you can tell how compressed the MG becomes compared to other soils, and MG stays hot! That perlite will help so much.

I will try to find a link to a grow journal or ttwo that shows the amounts and what not for a few other growers that did this exact thing on a slightly larger scale than my own 1 three gallon pot female

please don't take this the wrong way, but save the MG for people that don't understand growing. if you happen to be one of those people, don't buy fertilizers, buy a book or read here. yes, you can use MG to grow (poor plants with a horrible taste) but with so many so much better products sitting on home depots shelves (not to mention what the grow shops have), there is no reason to use MG. I already tried the "it will work" thing and used it anyway. had some ok plants, made some decent flowers, dried and cured for 6 weeks, tasted nothing like the skunky berry smell it was putting off, tasted like someone lit a dried out cat terd. 1 taste and I couldn't give it away, lol. 5 months of waiting for my 1st grow, what a disappointment! MG at your own risk, but don't say you didn't know!
