first time indoor grow I got some basics but need info. Im doing this on the cheap. 2 "75" watt plant lights from walmart and im using miracle grow for nutes. Don't have money for all the crazy nutes i have seen on here just wondering is what I am using is bad or just not that great but will work?

Well I'm not sure how far along you are with your grow, but if it's really small I wouldn't even give it any nutrients. Once it's got a few branches or at least 2-3 weeks old, you can start it off with 1/4th and watch it. If it didn't look like it did anything, you did good, because it's still alive. lol. And after a few waterings, you just increase it by a tiny bit.

-- update --

I originally read your post thinking you are giving them Miracle Grow nutrients. If so, then as long as your staying at your proper NKP values and don't do anything drastic, your fine. If your using their soil for seed starting, that's okay too, but if it soil has nutrients (it will say "feeds for 3 months") then you should flush (rinse) the soil first. The their organic is the exception, some bags will say "feeds for 2 months" but its okay. I never hear about their Organic mix burning any plants.

well the soil was scotts 3 month feed but was mixed with moss and we watered heavy and let probaly a gallon run thru I tried a couple clones fucked them up then after a month planted seed. This is a try to see how green my thumb is before getting what I want a bubbler with a 150w HPS I have seen sum setups with lights for cheap. When I do I have to research the nutes for that then buts thats my ideal for my small ass closet

I use Scott's soil as well, and MG All Purpose Plant Food (liquid, in the yellow bottle) at one tsp per gallon for veg, along with Superthrive and molassas - no problems with that yet.
