Miracle Grow Question for Unemployment Dude

[landedgentry13]

A while back, you posted the folling in a post about Miracle grow:


"And MG SOIL is a swear word. Many of us hate that stuff(Me being one of those people). But the fertilizers are great! I know some of the veteran growers use it too. The ferts are great. I use All purpose and bloom booster because it was the easiest to find and cheapest."


I was wondering if you could tell me what fert/water ratio you use for MG All Purpose and MG Bloom Booster. They have different recommendations, and it's hard to tell whether or not to use the "indoor" or "outdoor" quantities.

Any help would be appreciated, as I too plan to use these two ferts for indoor growing. Thanks!

I'm just trying to figure out the correct water/fertilizer ratio for the MG products I mentioned, and hoe often to water while growing indoors.

I have used MG for years, but I use the rose formula. I dilute it 1 Tbs per gallon of water after I have worked my way up from 1/8 strength to 1Tbs over a course of 2 to 4 weeks. During flower 1 Tbs Mg for the fist three weeks then kick in with 1/8 Tsp of bloom booster and Kool Bloom until I am at full strength of 2 Tbs of booster and 1 Tbs of Kool Bloom while equally cutting back on the veg ferts over the next 3 to 5 weeks. Then I flush for three weeks or until my plants have yellowed almost completely.

I grow with MG potting soil, from seed or clone I get good results. Let everything get rooted then start in with the MG Liquid all purpose houseplant food. Using the recomendations on the container I feed with every other watering. During flower I roll to feeding every watering, and let it flush last 7-10 days of flowering.

I use MG because its readily available from most stores. Getting bags of soil and nutes in the mail just doesnt sit well with me. Not to mention the fact I live in a condo so anything I get through the mail has to get sent to where I work becasue I work from 8-5 everyday. If nobody is home during the day the UPS or Fedex guy takes the packages to the Condo site office and their hours are freaking lame, like 10-3 I think M-F. Also I don't want bags of soil and or grow lights coming being delivered to the admin office beause it starts giving people ideas......

I onlu use Miracle grow moisture control soil. I have used other brands and other types of Miracle grow soils but only the moisture control is just perfect. It holds watre when over watered and then releases that extra in crystals if soil gets to dry.It has enough nutes I dont feed for about 45 days just plain water.My palnts love it. They grow fast thick and bushy with huge stalks.I never had a bug issue with it but have seen other brands who do. Try to buy bags from inside store rather then outside garden center pallets as they are a little more protected. Grab bags that seem soft and moist that means the soil is still frsh. If its hard or crusty and real light its old product pass it by. I never used thier ferts but the moisture control soil is A-1 stuff and thats from years of using it personally.
