yeah it is trippy man. dunno how I can describe it to you but I find the variation of plants in general really trippy.

like I remember when they were young now . . . had hella fat leaves. it's a trip how they grow in general bro.

anyways I'm using miracle grow for veg this year. couldn't find anything good in town, so I found some 24-8-16 that looks perfect for vegging this year.

I'm gonna definitely use something better in flower if I can find it, but I really have no problem using miracle grow on the scale I'm growing.

plus my water has a 7.0 PH naturally, so I can feed the fuck out of these plants without burning them ;).

don't worry though, I started the miracle grow on them a couple days ago at half dose. no burn whatsoever.

im using the exact same mg on my shit to.. it works amazingly..... ive had zero problems with burn... there nutes are much better then there soil man... i may swithc to some old dutch masters advanced i have for flowering, or i might just go buy some mg superbloom shit!!!

but miracle grow, and well water=sick ass plant growth........ everything the mg nutes are lacking the well water makes up for....

yeah it definitely isn't worth the bad hype some people give it.

I gave 3 of my plants more mg today, one of them was the sk that had a bad mg def. it's doing much better now, it's greened up a lot more, I'll take a pic in like 5-6 days and you'll see a huge difference.

I gave them 1 tablespoon in 2 gallons. gave them all probably .2 gallons each, some more than others, some less than others because of their size. (the NL obviously got a little more than everyone else because it's huge . . . )


anyways, no burn after 2 days, they're growing like weeds :D

Alright awesome ill go and pick some up.. Do you have a good place to get them? Generally i usually just see the 150w replacement bulbs that are 42w... Also from what i understand cfl's loose lumens over space really fast so its good to always position them within a few inches of the plant.. Is that true?

Sorry i dont mean to be a bother and ask all sorts of random questions in your thread its just ive notice you are one of the people on this site that have really mastered the art of using cfls and turning out great bud haha...
