miracle gro

[nikka]

ive got this box of miracle grow food tablets http://www.sortoutyourgarden.com/acatalog/FZ-003.jpg its 15-20-15 would this be good plant food for my plant? I've heard its bad to use miracle Gro soil, wondering if the food is just as bad?

Hmm i've never used that stuff before. I use the regular powder mix miracle gro all the time and it works well for me. I say try it out and see what happens.

the ferts are worse than the soil to use.

if u are going to use MG nutes, use 1/4 strength of the stated dose.
ull burn the fuck outta ur plants otherwise.

i destroyed my first grow with full strength use 1/4 maby even 1/6



i am a noob

i agree, go lightly with MG... easy to burn....

no there not.

mg food can work. the soil is the worst thing u can fuck up on. your soil should be perfect, if not then ur seed isnt going to make it.

plants can feed on MG stuff but u just have to be careful

Im ussing the soils at the moment and all is ok! The PH was a bit high but i have manged to lower that! I do find it holds water too well, hence i killed one of my babies from over watering!

Not trying to hijack the thread but what is a good soil base?

yes, they are.... notice this answer is relative.

the soil works at full strength

the ferts should be cut if used.

so, i repeat, the MG ferts are worse than the soil.

i do agree that better soil should be used but better ferts too.

all that said, our favorite herb will grow fine with either.

thanks for the help guys

i use mg all the time and at full strength after the first dose or two and I have never had any real nute burning problems, but I know if you over feed them at all or too often you can fry them quick. I feed them every 10 days roughly every third water and that works fine for me. I would stay away from the tablets personally I don't like anything time release its just to hard to judge when to add more.

I'm using this stuff on my plant. First timer here. 4 weeks veg, idk if it's doing anything to the growth, it seems very responsive to training though.
