ummmm? males dont have seeds? they have pollen sacks and when they burst they polanate the females witch causes them to stop bud production and start seed production

miracle grow? Hate the stuff.
I'm a new grower though.

this stuff isn't for newbies...it's to easy to misuse and burn tender young shoots.
and the secondary effect of miracle grow to magically sprout pests/fungus is also best left to more experienced growers imo
in short, a real hassle...i have enough stuff to worry about

Nutes

For nutes I use Miracal Gro allpurpose (veg) an bloombooster for flowering.
I have used em forever an love em.
I start em off with 1/4 -1/2 stength 3-4 weeks tell I know they can take more.
Ususaly every 4-5 days they need wateriing, every other water I feed em. Its strong shit, so read the directon, on the box or website.

Miracal grow has most micro nutes in it. But no listing for Calcium.. (I heard its because theres enuff in tap water) Heres the ingredience....


Nitrogen

Miracle-Gro contains 24 percent nitrogen. Nitrogen gives plants energy to grow and produce foliage. Too little can lead to stunted growth and pale green or yellow leaves.
Phosphate

The available phosphate is 8 percent. Phosphate is a phosphorous compound that helps plants resist stress, grow quickly, increase blooms and build strong roots. Too little phosphate will lead to red or purple leaves and decreased growth.
Potash

The soluble potash is 16 percent. Potash (potassium) helps with disease immunity, photosynthesis and increased fruit production. Too little can reduce plants' vigor, leaving them susceptible to disease and poor output.
Boron

Actual boron content is 0.02 percent. Boron is vital for producing sugar and carbohydrates in the plant, as well as seed and fruit development. Too little boron will cause small leaves and heart rot.
Copper

Actual copper content is 0.07 percent. Copper helps plants reproduce, build strong cell walls and reduce radicals. A deficiency will lead to stunted growth, bluish-green veins and poor tissue development.
Iron

The actual chelated iron is 0.15 percent. Iron helps in the formation of chlorophyll. If your plants have yellow leaves with green veins, they aren't receiving enough iron.
Manganese

The chelated actual manganese is 0.05 percent. Manganese helps plants breakdown carbohydrates and nitrogen. Too little manganese will lead to stunted growth and mottled yellow and white leaves.
Molybdenum

Actual molybdenum content is 0.0005 percent. Molybdenum helps in the breakdown of nitrogen.
Zinc

Actual zinc content is 0.06 percent. Zinc helps plants regulate their growth and sugar consumption. Too little zinc will lead to small, yellow leaves and low yields.
EDTA

The minimum amount of EDTA, a chelating agent, is 1.2 percent. Chelates are a chemical compound that play a vital role in oxygen transport and photosynthesis.

Watering can singles: 1 packet per gallon of water every 7 to 14 days.

NOTE: with new scoop, 1 level scoop of large end equals 1.5 tablespoons for the typical 1.5 gallon watering can. Old scoop level scoop equaled 1 tablespoon.

Indoor dilution rate: 1/2 teaspoon per 2 quarts of water, or 1 teaspoon per gallon of water every 7 to 14 days (small end of scoop = 1/2 teaspoon).

I just did a google search and I cannot find any lawsuits over the ingredients of Miracle grow.

I see that Scotts/Miracle grow have sued other companies. I see that former employees sued Scotts because they imposed a no smoking policy on its employees.

Also check out the links given by Scarhole. I cannot find ANYTHING to substantiate your claims.

the law suites are quitew old so may need to dig deeper. and then since those maybe they woke up to a few things and have changed the product. theres still a diff in quality of the ellements. thats why its in box stores because its all about profits to those type of stores. how many grow shops carry it. cause the levels arent for pot. just because a nute has the right stuff in it dosent mean its in a good ratio to each other to be used for what we grow. they are made for tomatoes and tomoes needs are diff than pot is,.and then the quality of the source of the ellement is cheep to, the processing of them...therwes more to nutes than just a label or a name
