Guano is the best source of organic nitrogen.And it wont burn.
Not sure about the chems.
Don't use 8-7-6. It is a useless fert. and I use to use it. It had no effect on my plant. When it wanted more N, 8 wans't enough, so it yellowed.
Ditch the MG man. That fert isn't made for resin producing plants. Get ANY other brand than that. From my exp., MG did more harm than good to my plants.
Peace
ers som info. i thought wud be a addtion http://www.overgrow.com/edge/showthr...hreadid=739382
Wow, what a thread you posted there! All those numbers and percentages, boggle my mind :p
Okay, I shouldn't have said MG is not good, it will work, but there are better ferts out there :) Shultz for example is a good, low cost fert.
What I was saying though about the 8-7-6 is, this is from my exp. using it, is, it isn't a strong enough fert. to give MJ plants what they need. The N is at 8, while the P is at 7...to give the plant what it needs, it needs a lower P and K number (N-P-K).
When I used it, the plants wanted a more potent N number. Having such a close % of P-K, the plant just wasn't getting enough N.
Kind of hard to explain I guess, but I really suggest getting some new numbers as I feel, your plants will just be asking for more.
Peace
What is the difference between Miracle-Gro and other commercially available fertilizers and hydroponics nutrients?
Most of the fertilizers readily available are very general purpose mixes that does not work well for all types of plants.
Most commercially available fertilizers are meant for fertilizing plants grown in soil and do not contain all the necessary trace elements. Specialty fertilizers contain all those trace elements, and are also made to be very soluble so that the plants can easily uptake the nutrients from the watering solution. Those other fertilizers will work to grow plants but they cannot compare to the results you will experience with our nutrients. Most commercially available fertilizers are like junk food for your plants giving you quick results that do not last very long.
If you want to grow right then use the right nutrients. They are easy to find and the cost is worth the effort.
Miracle Grow is not for dichotomous short day resin producing plants. Tomatoes & flowers are not in the same group as Marijuana plants. They are unique and to produce quality you need to give them quality food.
Thus if you go cheap you grow cheap.
