Who here grows with miracle and can speak on the taste of the bud. That was the point of this thread.

I grew with many vaieties of cheap chemical fertilizers for six years. MG, Schultz, etc. For the last three years I've been using Age Old liquid organics @ $100/gallon.
There is no difference in taste between the two.
Just because you spend 20 times as much on your plant food does not mean it grows plants any better or differently than any other fertilizer. All things being equal, of course.
Why do I use Age Old? Because I can afford it. My 600 sqf 14 raised beds vegetable garden feeds my family with MG fertilizer. Nuff' said.

I hear this all the time. but there is no way a 2 week flush will get rid of steroids in your plants, I know everybody wants to have the fastest and biggest plants, and nuts is the way to go to get this result. But weed that that grown with just a great soil will taste so much better, it might not be bigger. but it will taste smooth with no burning in your throat. But the guy on the street does not care he just wants meds,, The fact here in Colorado is every time I bought meds from dispensers it always burns my throat. Ones you taste real organic meds you will know instantly.The problem is meds like that are hard to find, but there out there.. I don't want to get in a pissing contest about nuts be stored in the roots or any other argument that the nut company put out how there..
I'm not down on people growing with whatever works for them, I just never had to use nuts, I just start with great soil,, and get a inch a day growth or more.. and my meds don't burn your throat at all..

Ya your right, FFs, are steroids.. not nuts, and your right I try to stay away from cannabis grown with roids, grow how you want its cool with me but from my experience there is no comparison, In our stores out here in the produce department you can buy your fruit and vegetables with roids in it, or you can buy organic, Of course the orgo section its 25 percent more for the same product. its the same with meds,,, Ask any farmer any where, what he wants great soil or great fertilizer.. guess what is answer will be.. Of course good fertilizers have there place, But starting with great soil that has great food in it is the way to grow... and the best hands down!!!! its not even close...
So to the OP yes you can taste MG its a slow release. flush makes it better but you can still taste that stuff,,,

i think MG is good for veggy gardens with peppers and tomatos and stuff like that because thats what is made for...not weed. MG is used on things we consume..things that pass through livers, kidneys ect..i dont think it was ever intended to be inhaled. there are hundreds of nute brands that are specially made for weed, so why not get the right stuff that goes to the right product? it would be like adding 2 tablespoons of salt to ur bowl of corn flakes because ur out of suger. ya sure, it looks almost the same, has the same consistacy and they are both a type of spice...but only one will tase good because it has the right ingredient in it. MG belongs in the garden..not the grow room

Nitrogen is nitrogen.
Phosphorous is phosphorous.
Potassium is potassium.
However they're provided, the only difference is their form and availability to the plant. A lot of the fancy designer expensive nutes imply their nitrogen is somehow magic special nitrogen etc to justify their prices. The only concern I'd have is any unnecessaries also included in the feed/medium. The internet is full of pricey products made to satisfy a market for an 'edge' in growing, or purely for the gullable.
I'm not saying quality nutes are not worth paying extra for, but I think people put waaaaay too much stock in things that are ultimately marketing.
Keep it simple.

Keep it simple. Something Ive lived by for years. When I try to think outside the box. I tend to put to much emphasis on a certain product and I got some over nuted plants for my trouble. LOL Sometimes its better to stick with what has always worked for me in the past.

Sorry but I have to disagree. Urea is used widely for nitrogen suppliment in the commercial market. Urea is broken down by the plant and the by-product is ammonia. It is one of the best product used for nutrients because it completely disapate naturally.
All nutes chemical or organic will leave a crude harsh taste. This has nothing to do with the product. Improper flushing and lazyness is the main reason for bad taste. You should flush daily with 2-3 times your regular quantity of liquid for a period of no less than 7 days. If you are a heavy user of nutes than it might take a few more flushes than a weeks worth.
Use any nutes but flush, flush, flush is the key.

I don't flush at all and you would never be able to tell. I think the act of flushing is given way too much credit for taste. It's the dry and cure that's responsible for taste. I used to flush a long time ago before I figured out it didn't make a bit of difference in taste, only yield for some of my plants because they did a lot of their swelling in the final week. Dry slow and cure is the key.
