plants are hitting a month old in a day or 2 and im wondering if adding a 1/4 solution of miracle grow would be too potent i figure if they tell me 5ml of MG for 4L of water then id need 1.25ml of MG for 1L of water then to make a 1/4 solution it would be approx 0.3ML of MG per L of water is thattoo much or too little

does it look like it needs it? can you not upload pics? 1/4 strength seems ok, what is the miracle grow formula? like, the NPK #-#-# and what kind of micronutrients are in it? is it that granular blue shit moms use?

Depends on what you started them in. If slow release nutrient fertilized soil you do not feed. If it's been a month since last transplant into organic soil, go ahead and feed. Good luck!

They look fine, wait a week more two before starting a feeding program. BUT I would suggest just getting some high quality organic soil from Walmart parking lot or lowes type store and adding a bag or vermicastings and 25% perlite or biochar. Organics is much tastier and easier to control. Don't get a miracle grow organic bag though. Look for something saying hummus rich, vermicastings, compost rich. That sort of shit. You can add a bag of mushroom compost if you want. The vermicastings contain a huge network of microbial life and they enjoy the hummus. The real way plants thrive is a complex network of mycorrhizae, bacteria, and the roots. Miracle will grow plants but through a system toxic to soil life, a you end up always needing the miracle grow.

It would be cheaper and more beneficial to use aged compost. Do you have an air pump? Pantyhose? You could get a large bag for 4$ and it contains microorganism, fungal spores, and a balanced nutrition. bat guano nutrition likely need to ship and is kinda pricey to start. I mean, it's good at what its for, its just more efficient to use compost tea in my experience. 24-36 hour brew, 1liter compost 5g water ratio. Obviously use less of both but in a .25:5 ratio if you don't need 5 gals
