Miracle Gro Nute Question!!!

I understand that there are many other options as far as quality is concerned when choosing nutes. However, I have seen success with Miracle Gro and it is inexpensive. I am currently on week three of flower. Two weeks ago I fucked up and snapped the main stem at the very top completely in two. Although this will affect my yield, the rest of my plant is very healthy. Finally, to my question....

Would I be better off using:

Miracle-Gro Liquid Houseplant food 8-7-6

or

Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster 15-30-15

Also, if there are any other nutes that you reccommend over these that are available at Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I encourage you to share!

If someone is going to use Miracle Gro products they want the Tomato Formula for vegging and they want the Bloom Booster for flowering.

I've only used M.G. nutes, and still do to this day. Never even tried anything else.
I use the all purpose for veg cause it gives you 24 for N
and the 15-30-15 for flower.
I don't feed any nutes for the 1st month of growth. I have a good all round soil.
When the plant tells me she needs some nutes, I start off with 1/4 of the big side of the spoon that comes with it and see how she reacts to it in the next couple days.
Then let the soil dry out, and depending on how the leafs look, if burnt or still yellow, I add another 1/4 or maybe even another half, depending if I'm brave or not. Or if burnt, just water.
I nute every time I water. I find it's better to give the plant less nutes more frequently than to starve them and then give them a big dose, that's how you get nute burn.
Also by gradually increasing your nutes every time you water, there is no stress on the plant and can absorbe more and more, without starving her at all

Check out my grows pal.............
You just have to know how to use it like any other fert.
I'd call you a sucker for buying into all those high priced ferts. It's all a scam, that's why they make a buch of bottles for you to mix and shit so you have to buy them or they don't work.
I like M.G. it's easy and cheap and gets the job done.
So fuck all you M.G. haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I use is M.G. and cal/mag that's all I need. Simple and cheap

lol. its whatever. I saw a can of bloombastic at the hydro shop a few weeks ago that was $850 for like ... a few liters. I couldnt believe it. Who would pay that? Theres no way that shit can work that nice ... but yeah. Miracle grow is high in salt. naughty naughty miracle grow.

That's why you buy a soil with lime in it. To buffer the ph and, if you use little amounts, the plants eat it all up instead of having salt deposits left over.
$850 for a couple liters............man these hydro companys are going a little overboard now........belive it or not, there are ppl that'll buy it, or else it wouldn't be there.
What fools. That's alot of beer $$$$ gone on ferts, that prolly wouldn't make any diff at all...........

Just adding nursing cents here.......

For many years I was a total custie for all the high price ridiculous grow products out on the market before I realized what a risk dip off they are and started to question myself......I bought all the high dollar nutes and other equiptment......boy were the cloners a total ripoff...anyway I recently started producing my own soil mix and using the miracle grow organic plant food and have witnessed the best vegatative grow EVER!!! I am right now trying to come up with something to use for blooming.?? Something I can buy locally....I would prefer something I could use as a tea perhaps and not a dry application......if any kind growhead out there has any suggestions for me I would be most grAteful.....
I just believe the hydro-shop nutes are not the overpriced standard to achieve high quality headies....

Thank you and may mother nature bless you all........
