Looking good. After this test concludes I don't wanna hear any more MG bashing. I'll link bashers to this and other threads as source material. Thx Doc.

you wanna be careful with Miracle Grow, that guy in the advert was a copper, on Z Cars or softly Softly, dont trust him.

 

[Jack Harer]

What advert???

 

[DrFever]

guys i can tell you the plants in Mg are taking off like mad and i am still far ways from being done but plants are showing no sign of defiencys i would recomend Mg to any new grower
also i might add as myself am trying to better my yields i have changed my ways of thinking
normally i would give a decent watering thus medium stays moist now what i am doing is addin only like a cup of food every 2 - 4 days
but also adding in my trays so kinda like bottom feeding, i seriously am thinking this is the way to go rather then flood your medium
this creating less build up of salts alowing roots to breath as well

Doc, don't you think it's very likely that businesses that make "cannabis specific" ferts & nutes started all this BS about MG because it's cheap and works well? I have always found you can "follow the money" back to the ones with something to lose. I know how much liquid nutes you can make from $500 worth of raw goods and the margins are astronimical. A gallon of nutes that sells for $50 costs less than the packaging. Can't have those damn dirt cheap nutes running around without a fight.

i am not 100 percent sure there gunning for them to keep up with the market i think it all comes down to companys that to there research
last year i did a batch of my own ferts meaning i got a 20 litre pail added half full of luke warm water added potato peals , carrots , apples oranges even the stems off my plants i trimmed i mean you name it i put it in there everytime just adding 1 cup of hot water every time stirred the hell out of it well after just 1 week my ppm were over 2000 i never did use it
but if a person could actually figure out the NPK value from it you could make your own nutrients prob even better then any of the leading brands out there IMO
and the costs would be litterly ZERO

for sure dr...just like there is nothing i have found that comes in a bottle that can compare to a nice rain during a thunderstorm with the air all electrically charged it is like liquid nitrogen

You are soooooo right about that! I always collect rainwater for my plants.

i got to tell you guys i gave them a 1500 ppm shot of C02 last night and i swear they grew like 5 " lol heres a pic its amazing what you can grow knowing the importance of your room have proper ventilation and temps these plants were cloned aug 27th and were like 2 " tall cuttings ) and as of today 80 percent of the plants are 12 inches plus i took clones of them 3 - 4 th day after transplanting look at the new growth and thickness of plants amazing i got reg paper on them to show height to day is day 8 look at pic of when i put them in lol

peeps telling you clone on your grows ASAP and watch them thicken in days

The NPK values of almost everything under the sun thats good for plants can be had on google.

I found these extremely helpful.

 

[kevin murphy]

looking good dr...

 

[DrFever]

thanks jack hope this comes usefull for many growers

so what a person does add potato peels , apples and such look on chart and figure out how much of NPK those things have add them up n seperate columns and it would give you a close figure on your NPK ?????

 

[Jack Harer]

Yeah, It's all additive. Just like a 10-10-10 at half strength is 5-5-5. Lets say the potatoes are 2-3-2 (just an example), and carrots are .5-.9-0, you'd have a 2.5-3.9-2. Thats how I understand it, and it seems to work for me. Course. I use for the most part Bunny Poo, EWC and Bone Meal, and haven't worried about NPK in a good while now.

I don't like MG products for ethical reason. Monsanto, MG's parent company, is an agri-giant with no regards to the cost of life or environment, and has some dubious business practice. Do some reaserch. Just my .02.

 

[Jack Harer]

You're absolutely right, of course, but let me ask do you shop at WalMart? Ever?

Oh fuck... I did not know they were owned by mon$anto. God I HATE that company!!!! I'm not crazy about Wal-Marx either but they don't get enough of my money in a year to matter.

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

I'm a Walmart hater too but in this town they are the game. Came in about 8 years ago & most all the Mom & Pop's were driven out of business.
It sucks, but they have us by the balls for frequent consumables & such.

 

[DrFever]

walmart is walmart you can't beat the price of jeans there tho lol
