Yes you most certainly can. I'd start off with half of the recommended dosage and no more than one feeding per week. The only ones that are going to blast MG are the ones paying big money for their nutes and consider MG ghetto...

If you have it, use it. There are better nutrients out there, but MG is a part of my nutrient mix.

I blend my own bloom nutrients to a ratio of 1-4-3. One part Nitrogen to four parts Phosphorous and three parts Potassium.

Adding a little 0-10-10(known around here as Master Bloom) would bring your blend much closer to optimum.

Use every source of nutrients, available. Organic sources are best, but are expensive to buy, and time consuming to gather(raking leaves, or driving to a volcano to mine nutrient rich clays, for instance).

Be practical, but read up on your plant's needs.

This.
But that's all we really thought to get, I mean we just went to Home Despot and picked out the right numbers. Next time around we'll probably get something a bit more suited to herb, but hey, make do with whatcha got, right?

I am currently using Miracle Gro Bloom Booster 15-30-15 on my outdoor plants. I feed them almost every watering now. Started out using MG Nutes for veggin and plan on using the bloom booster for the rest of the grow. Cost factor was one of my main reasons for it but I enjoy how easy it is to use. I have the garden house attachment. I just pour the bag of MG into the feeder and it go.

I have used allmost all of the hotrod ferts over the past 25 years. It seems whats in it is always more important than whats on the box. I have been treating my plants just like a comercial tomato farm High n veg high p bloom supperthrive all the way to bud. I love mg. cheep at homedepot at the first of season. We have used 20 lbs of it this season. Try them all we have lots of time
Have fun

I'm using MG bloom booster as well. I will dose it every few days with a scoop/gallon. I like to foliar feed with it almost everyday 2-3times/day at low concentrations. Plants seem to be very happy with it. I'm very impressed with the results.

has anyone used miracle grow and tried flushing it?

how many days did you flush for outdoors, 7-14 days?

I used MG last year and this. Like said not the brand but what it consist of.

And yes I flushed last year for 2 weeks after MG. Nice smooth taste when cured.

nothing wrong with MG or MG bloom booster. used it the past with excellent results..those who say it sucks just repeat what others have said and haven't tested for themselves!
