I grow cheep also with MG fertz. .
You need the all purpose MG for veg, an the bloom formula for flowering.
Non organic fertz burn quite easily, so this is how i grow with mine an dont get nute burn, an dont ph any thing
When your seedlings are about a month old I start em out on 1/2 strength veg nutes every other watering for a month, them move it to fullstrength (1 teaspoon) every other watering.
In bloom use 1/2 strength the first few waterings, an then use full tablespoon per gallon every other watering.
Be sure to Flush em with water inbetween fertz to keep ph down. Never had a plant burned.
Another drawback with MG is it lacks Mag. an calcium. So i water with a 1/2 teaspoon of epsom salt once a month just incase.
Superthrive also delivers alot of vitamins that MG dosent contain.
Ive had prety good grows using just MG veg an bloom nutes.
I can t bring myself to spend more on nutes than i did on the grow box an seeds.
Check out my journal sig to see some of my MG only ladies.(no superthrive or epsom salts)
They arent going to set a record yeild, but they are soo cheep they almost free.
Should yeld about a 1/2 an oz per plant, 5 plants about 1 ft tall.

Im mainly against high price fertz.
I ve seen hella results in the old days with both chemical an organic fertz.
The old 70s an 80s hightimes had lots of grows using em, rosenthal an franks grow guides have chaports on chemical fertz cause they were popular.
MG/chemical ferts died out among pot growers cause its touchy an not eco frendly enough for em an isnt as toxic.
Chemicals grows most of the food we consume, farmers use it cause it works great cheep.
Organics has taken over the bud world, cause its harder to burn with em an supoposed to improve taste.
And if you DIY your own organics its cheep also. Im hoping to switch to em in the near future.
PS I had trouble with 2 Liters as planters 2amhigh. Because they let in light an witch can hurt roots an mine had some slimy green mold grown in them an had to be aborted.

Miracle Grow doesn't suck. It provides nearly everything a plant needs to grow. In fact, most plants thrive in Miracle Grow. MG has undergone more scrutiny and testing than any other brand and it always comes out with flying colors. I've used MG and therefore know for myself that it does not suck.
I love the guys that say MG sucks without any reasoning or explanation.

Read the back of the tub,this is by far the best way of getting the best from any nute package, all though i would not use mj.But i have seen some great results from this feed, but if you can get hold of another brand then do so, you realy want a feed that is made for the cannabis plant.And in my own experiance of feed's and i have tried many well all of the big name one's and none come any where near advanced sensi pro a and b veg then bloom.If you are gonna use mj then there is no ppm reading on the back like on advanced so you will need a ph and ppm metre to get the best from the feed.Round about week 5 get them on 1800ppm's what ever the feed and a ph of 6.2/6.5 in soil 5.2/5.5 hydroponic's.But if you do decide to change yr mind on the feed then do advanced then you will have to take one reading,this will be the reading of the tap water,without the nutes added and take this into consideration when makeing a vatch up.But i still check the ph and ppm's every so often even though the nutes from advanced are all ph and ppm perfect,this can be a god send when you first start out.Every reading that i have ever taken when adding a certain dose has come near perfect to what it said it would on the bk of the tub,and i have made batches up in several differant locations with all differant water ph so it defo work's the ph perfecct thing.do your self a favour ditch mj and go with advanced.......................................tyke.................................................................

MG for tomatoes works wonders on MJ in veg.... And it is only $4 a box.....
I think most people have the ghetto mentality..... they think cheap means worthless or reduced effectiveness... Anything that is cheap is bobo and to be ridiculed...
MG in a box works great.... easy to measure, easily soluble. I'll never buy expensive nutes again for a soil or outdoor grow.
