Time for old BBFan to eat a little bit of Humble Pie made from Miracle Gro soil. Earlier in the week there was a thread started about Miracle Gro. Some offered their opinions on the ferts, some on the soil. Some said the soil was fine. I was one of those. Bragged about how I've used Miracle Gro many times and never had a problem.
Until now......
I have 5 plants that I started and are now 15 days old (from seed). The strain is blueberry and I've been selectively pollinating my own seeds for a few years now. The seeds from this grow were from an outdoor grow from 2007. Grew these same seeds a year ago indoors with no problems (also started those in Miracle Gro).
So here's a couple pics of what's just started happening to my little babies over the past few days. I originally thought it might be light burn as I am experimenting with aggressive lighting on this grow. But as you can see from the pics, it's obvious nute burn.
Not all the plants are burnt. One pic is of a plant that shows no sign of burn, the other shows obvious burn.
So, my apologies to any and all. I will no longer tout the virtues of Miracle Gro soil. I guess this batch I got was hotter than the batches I've used in the past. Grow and Learn!
