NPK question HELP!!

Ok since you need 30-15-15 for veg. I have some stuff called Miracid for acid loving plants.
It has a NPK of 30-10-10. This is REALLY close to 30-15-15 so why is Foxfarm GrowBig have a NPK of 3-2-6?
Ive heard foxfarm is like the best stuff so wtf?
Do you have to add more ferts to make it close to 30-15-15?

lol......in my opinion because Fox Farms and Advanced and all the other nutes are waaaaaay overpriced. Its bullshit man. You can go down and buy a $10 bottle of PLANT FOOD or you can go buy a $50 dollar bottle. Either way its PLANT FOOD and one works just as well as the other in my experience. Check the labels of each and other than the "company line" and a picture of a "big bud" there is no difference in what the plant gets. Plant food is plant food in my humble opinion and if you do everything else right the $40 buck extra you pay for a bottle with a stoner friendly name is a rip off,. Look at mollasses, you can get a jar of blackstrap at the Piggly Wiggly for 3 bucks....Advanced nutes takes mollases, puts it in the aforementioned stoner friendly packaging and charges you 20 bucks...,.for mollases. Sorry dude, didn't mean to rant but the whole weed specific nute thing pisses me off. PLANT food is Plant food. As for your question the nute companies change those npk numbers so you think their product is actually weed specific. Hell if they put 15-30-15. or 30-15-15 it would look juuuuust like any other plant food. Just ratios my friend.

Fox Farm nutes are usually considered to be organic. Those chemical nutes are highly concentrated.

"Organic" is their catch phrase. Bat shit or what the fuck ever, a source of nitrogen is a source of nitrogen. There are no "evil" chemicals in the basic plant foods.

Ok nice man thx. So basically my
miracid OR the foxfarm either will work?

How da fuck do i make thumbnails?

Hey man... you're preaching to the choir. I was gonna put "organic" in quotes but whatever. I like Miracle-Gro just as much as guano. Use them wisely and it's all good.

start low strength and tweak a necessary. just common sense bro. lotta people like to make this little hobby as complicated as possible when its not necessary.

Wow!! You guys have got a lot to learn. I'm not trying to be condescending, but its true. "A source of nitrogen is a source of nitrogen."??? Whoa is that not true.
There is a HUGE difference between chemical ferts and organic ferts. You would do very well to look into this subject further. Who says you need 30-15-15? I have never seen that specific NPK. I'm not saying its wrong but....30-15-15 of one thing is not the same as 30-15-15 of another. So to say that these plants require 30-15-15..... well 30-15 -15 of what? You have to be careful. More is not always better. More isn't even always more lol. Organic is the way to go. Not just for your plants either. You should choose organic food too.
All the chemical fertilizer that farmers have been dumping on the land the past few decades is now responsible for polluted oceans and dwindling fish populations, but thats a hole other rant....excuse me.
Good luck with the grow!

k, well first, ima noob, all the way lol.
And i got that 30-15-15 info from a grow book
Cuz it needs high nitrogen and medium P&k
during veg IVE READ Anyway if i have
them in foxfarm or coco roots soil and use
just grow big for veg and big bloom for flower,
would that work? If so how much fert per gal of water ?
recommended dose is 4 teaspoon per gal i think.

Are you serious ......You have the unmitigated gall to post this shit. Not trying to be condescending ???? Dude you are the fucking epitome of the mooks that gotta make this shit sound as technical as humanly possible, I guess its a "self importance" thing. Gotta lot to learn. Naw son, you have a lot to unlearn. We're not reinventing the wheel here Cheech. I'll takke the taste test against your "organic" grow anytime. You think because you throw some "Peruvian Guano" in your grow your weed will be superior ???? Gimme a break. Done it all, tried all the tricks and tweeks. Its all smoke and mirrors. When you come back around you realize..YOUR GROWING A WEED and all the extra money doesn't produce result enough to warrant the cost. KEEP IT SIMPLE is all i'm saying. I grow a fine smoking, sweet tasting weed. Some very nice 3 hit shit......with little effort or EXPENSE. Fucking neg rep me for my opinion. Blow me.
