    Default Black Magic Potting Mix..... interesting ingredients

    Easy

    Having not known very much when I bought this stuff I wondered what others' experience of this was if at all. Having since read a lot of info on this forum and elsewhere it seems the mix does contain quite a few key ingredients. Guess the proof will be in the pudding

    No idea it had worm castings, michorizzal and coco in there...!

    Any soil aficionados out there to cast their wisdom on this mix - or at least the marketing blurb?

    All from makers of Miracle Grow...

    reads as a very good soil, it's 'miracle grow' trying to break into the cannabis growing industry,
    i have a link to a blurb, but you cant post links on this site so /copy/paste/ to the rescue lol


    Scott's Miracle-Gro CEO Jim Hagedorn has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in marijuana-business: $135-million last year on two California-based businesses that sell fertilizers, soils and accessories to pot growers; $120-million on a still-undisclosed lighting and hydroponics equipment company in Amsterdam; and a promised investment of another $150-million by the end of the year.

    "It is the biggest thing I've ever seen in lawn and garden," Hagedorn told Forbes.

    "I came back [to the office], and I told everyone 'We're doing it,' " Hagedorn said. " If you don't like it, leave. We're doing it. It's beyond stopping. And we're not getting into pot growing. We're talking dirt, fertilizer, pesticides, growing systems, lights. You know it's a multibillion-dollar business, and we've got no growth in our core. Are you guys stupid?"

    The company launched its new line of hydroponics equipment in 141 Home Depot stores across Colorado, Washington and Michigan - and it's big money, especially compared with regular garden and lawn care biz. The green-and-black branded bags of peat and coco coir blended soils retail for about $16 from Home Depot, versus the $8 price-tag of Miracle-Gro's standard-issue organic garden soil.

    Given the edgy, controversial reputation of Miracle-Gro CEO Jim Hagedorn, the gardening giant's decision to cash in on the cannabis industry's, ahem, rapid growth comes as little surprise. One thing is becoming rapidly apparent: at-home, small-to-medium-scale growing operations aren't going to stay "under the cover of darkness" for much longer - and the days when home gardening was strictly for botany geeks are coming to a close.

    It does sound good but the part which says heavily fertilised, begin feeding 10 weeks after planting kinda puts me off. Itl be interesting to see how you get on with it.

    i boycott the whole brand, to be honest id rather not support a company who gives zero fucks about the poison they promote.

    Knowing what Ive learned now I would go with the Canna Terra Professional Soil or the Pro Plus. Heard bad things about the Bio Bizz nutes in the UK with hard water etc so would go with the Canna Terra nutes also.

    Having said that the jury is still out on this Black Magic. Ive got some pics to upload tomorrow on my diary thread
