Okay I have a plant (Great white Shark fem) I started indoors and it didn't like the heat. Plant was topped and I took (2) clones off. Transplanted it and used miracle grow water control (75%) and the other 25% was local soil, and petemoss. My question is what do I do from here on out ??? Will the MG feed the plant for the next couple of months or what ?? Please help plant is thriving so far even with rainy weather (and spot gets only 4 hours of sun as is) and has grown probally 6-8" in 2 weeks and is green as could be from new growth.

i used it once, didn't work out for me, but it can work

i will relate my experience, and what i read after my experience
it was my 1st indoor grow, plant strated out great in MGMC, then it started to lose a little color in the fans
got worse and worse, killed it in the end
from what i've read, using it in a mix with other stuff can help a lot, i think those those do good grows with it do that
but if watered too much, it can burn like the dickens, every watering releases fertilizer, seen some very sad plants on here with MG time release
not sure how long it will feed for, 1 month seems safe, maybe 2
you'll have to watch carefully to figure out when to feed

I started in MG, and I didn't feed any nutes until I started noticing nitrogen deficiency starting (bottom leaves yellowing). I started at a 1/4 dose, and worked up from there.

iirc that was at the 4 week of veg stage.

What did u feed it ??? Never really grew in soil (the right way) IS feeding the plant just watering it with nutes and or putting some kind of fert on it like blood meal???? Want to feed it the easiest way possible.

Okay guys my plant is doing very good. Its been outside for about 4 weeks in about 75% mg moisture control and 25% pete moss and soil from the ground. My question is I have a foliar spray from general hydroponics should I start spraying the plant or what ?? ANd how often and what part of the plant ??

not a fan of foliar feeding myself, understand some do have good results
if things are going well, why change them?

depends what ya have available. READ directions of what ever you get THEN use only 1/4 strength of recommended amount to start or even less, easy to add more but if you over do it well you know. you probably don't want to feed at ever watering.
