Miracle Grow Products

I know a lot of people don't like Miracle Grow soil but what about their blood and bone meal? Is there any reason this couldn't be used in Subcool's supersoil? I was wondering just because it is easy to find. I didn't know if there was a difference between it and something like Happy Frog or not.

miracle grow can be used. most experienced growers dont like it because its just basic compounds and dont really reach the full potential. what i would recommend is using half miracle grow and the rest clean sterile dirt and use that for a base. and once the plants are 1 month old then use your advanced nutes

I used to be an MG nay sayer myself. But this grow I could not afford my Happy Frog and the only thing available but MG. This is in nearly 100% MG, and a little MG perlite. 5 weeks from seed. I will go back to FF for my next grow, but I am no longer opposed to using MG products.

Im not concerned about their soil. They make bone and blood meal too. Thats what I am wondering about. Is there any difference from Happy Frog? Does one add something the other doesn't or is blood meal just blood meal no matter who packages it?

I really canot advise on this my friend. I use the K.I.S.S. theory on my grows. I don't add anything but nutes when needed to my mediums

Their B & B meals are just fine as is all their nutes and soils.
Yes, you can spend more money and get "better" products that have more stuff in them.

Nonetheless MG products work fine, just take baby steps

Some folks, it seems to me just don't read the questions. Jstone, blood and bone meal are just slaughterhouse by-products. Places like Smithfield are the predominant sources of the raw materials.Surely you can substitute any number of brands of these products since most come from the same original source. Steamed bone meal has a higher phosphorus availability than non steamed, but steaming can be done in your kitchen if you are concerned about that.
Even though this is veering away from your question, I can say this. Miracle Grow organic potting soil is known all over the web to be a less than ideal product for growing cannabis. Sure you can amend it, correct the ph,etc. and make it work. The biggest threat for indoor growers or outdoor container growers using MG organic potting soil is the high propensity of a root aphid infestation. There are countless threads on MJ sites and general gardening sites relating to this very topic.

what's a root aphid? something like a nematode? i use mg organic sometimes...no probs.
