Idk... My plant is smelling up my entire room and the buds are growing at an insane rate. She may not be the best, but I know it's going to taste better than anything else I can get for 60 an eighth so I'm not concerned, and I'm using MG... I wonder how that happened.

Unless you are talking to a girl, bonehead boy. It has nothing to do with age this boy and girl thing.

I prob shouldn't be putting my super-ultra noob 2 cents worth in here, but I will tell you that even opening and smelling MG fert will give me a headache (not sure if I'm sensitive to it or what). Personally I wouldn't put it on anything intended for consumption, vegetables or otherwise

Oh, yeah? Take a good wiff of Sea Grow or Max Sea, or Dr Earth's. Get a good deep smell, so you will projectile vomit.
Smell, my word.
You go by smell?

For those that still just totally are intent on using maricle grow soil with added fertilizer. MG soil is a lot like hydro. The more you water the more you feed. You can get hygro meters cheap at Lowes that you can stick in the pot of soil. Put one in each plantpot. Then you'll have a better idea on when to water them and how much.

What does totally intent on, even mean? You mean if there is some dullard left out there, that just has to ignore you.
It is a fine plant food. You use it for constant feeding in the water, or for periodic feeding between watering. I use it everywhere outside. I use kelp based, one part powder, which is just like MG, but organic indoors. The smell is slightly better, I agree. It is the same thing, really.
And I go back to this. Can a person grow something? It is easy. That is, unless you start listening to all the ganja Myths about mixing and switching around the nute like a mad scientist. That was my mistake.
At first we like to tinker and learn and sell talk what we learn to know it better. Fine. But at a certain point we need results.
So, to me this thread is about, "if I have MG already, do I need to figure out all these multi-part nutes special?" NO.
Use the Miracle Grow and get growing. If you can grow, then you can experiment.
And how many people here have tried a wide set these nutes, besides me? All the ones I talk to will attempt to make their lives simple to have the result be consistent.
But, they all usually have to flounder around, like me, to get the need for more simple.

Quoted for truth. Couldn't have said it better myself. If you have an aversion to MG, you don't understand nutrients.What does totally intent on, even mean? You mean if there is some dullard left out there, that just has to ignore you.

I know this post is old - but I like your style dude. I am seeing quite a few weed growing Nazis on this site - I hate it when people say if you don't do it this way then you're doing it wrong. I'm with you, it's a fucking weed which is why we call it weed. ATM, I'm growing in MG All Purpose and the only nutes I have given my fairly virile HBD are a little Tesco Tomato Feed, a miniscule amount of Vitax Orchid Bloom Feed. I might buy some seaweed or sulphur fertiliser sometime, but I do believe that all these cannabis oriented fertilisers are little more than marketing hype. It's like you said, it's more about being in tune with your plant than spending tons of cash and fancy nutes and overusing them anyway. Every other day or so (cause let's not be too religious about our schedules - keep your girl on her toes - she likes the occasional pleasant surprise - lol) during flower, I am giving my plants cold banana tea. (a banana skin steeped in boiling water until cool) May I'm just being superstitious, but they haven't complained yet.
Also, I am trying to save money buy growing my own. Do you ever get the feeling that if you were to do the math(s) on some of the grows related on this site, with all they are spending,it would seem that sometimes their dope is not as cheap as it might seem.
People probably shouldn't get so anal about dope growing - but if that's the way they prefer to approach it, then who am I criticise? Live and let live is my motto.

LOL dude. Sorry about the world of Warcraft guy. ROFL! Totally agree though. Pretty much it doesn't matter which nute or fert I use i always start small and work up. I wonder if MG would work hempy style? Probably not a good idea, but would love to know if anyone's tried it. I got a ton of that stuff left over in the garage and it's so cheap.

Wow - have just read this entire thread. There are at least three major dicks on it. I'll give you a clue - they're not CouchLockOr or JuniorHead. Nuff said.

On a site like this we get to interact with all kinds of people and be glad as hell we don't interact with any of these people for real.

Too true. I love all people, but I don't necessarily want the fuckers round for tea and biscuits. We are all THC brothers and sisters, essentially good people but all capable of being pompous dicks occasionally (myself more than most). To err is human.On a site like this we get to interact with all kinds of people and be glad as hell we don't interact with any of these people for real.

I just like to amuse myself. Bc I get spent from the same questions. Nobody wants to read anymore. Ya'll know what I'm talkin about...anyway...
MG is basically blue Nitroform with P and K added...its also chock full of micronutes. The small stuff plants need in miniscule amounts so basically its got everything Cannabis needs. However...even on the box it says to use at the half rate indoors...nobody ever reads this and thus they burn the shit out of their plants.
MG soil is basically the same as any other...its a peat/perlite base with organic matter (N) thrown in to make it more fertile.
Some MG soil products have fertilizer already in them. They aren't for growing Cannabis.
The reason is young Cannabis plants are prone to burn and need to be fed small amounts of nutes. Hydro store nutes are notorious for burning young Cannabis plants.
They are industrial strength and should be used at a diluted rate.
I hope this clarifies grower's questions about MG. I could get into much more detail but this thread isn't the place....
edit: google Miracle Grow ingredients if you want a comprehensive list of what's in it.

I have grown the most expensive pot ever, I think. Approx $10K for absolute failure. Those were the days when I believed all the BS on RIU, and before I found Uncle Ben, and before Uncle Buck tossed me the clue about Sea Grow, etc.

There probably are better soils I could use, but I am using the MG soil that claims to feed for three months. I've done 2 grows in it now with no signs of burning. My Himalaya Blue Diesel grew like a triffid and is one of the strongest healthiest plants I've seen in the flesh. I have a Northern Light Auto from Speed Seeds which is two weeks old. This has been a slow starter and is only 2 inches tall with 4 sets of fans so far, but it seems to be picking up speed exponentially every day which is what you would expect anyway. I reckon it'll be 6 inches in another week.
- Ssshh - Nobody has yet told my HBD that she's deficient in Cal-Mag or Silica and I'm worried she'll start acting up if she gets to hear about it - power of suggestion and all that. Also, I live in an extremely hard water area and my plants don't seem to mind that either. At the end of the day, I stand by my belief that most cannabis strains are hardy little bastards that strive to thrive, whatever you throw at them, (especially mongrels) thrive in all sorts of conditions and climates as long as it's not too hot or too cold. I know nothing about cal-mag or sillica supplements, but the hard water I use I am sure has these trace elements in sufficient quantities for my plants, so maybe hard water is not so bad for cannabis?

Sorry but ppm is not part of my growing vocabulary - I mean how are you realistically going to measure how many parts per million anything has without a laboratory at your disposal? Too nerdy for my growing style - but as I said before, each to his own and it's probably wise not to be too dogmatic or espouse one's opinions as doctrine.
