This is a question that is largely based on curiosity, i've noticed all the different kinda of nutes and stuff for you plants and even organic nutes like from ali bongos or something but i was just wondering as to why we're not aloud to use MG anyway...most noobs would find it a cheap alternative then to all the branded nutes and then normally get a shlapskie for using MG...why? can anybody shed some light on this?
no one has a word to say on this subject??
Ze :) I hate to see no replies to a question, well I've replied but for what good it's ...................... :o
I don't know what MG is, but I understand you're asking about nutrients. I just grow really basic and the only nutrients my plants get are a home made compost, I'm really against the shop stuff, why should I pay out for what I can make myself ;) ....Which I know is full of good materials.
I also put a pinch of Phostrogen plant food in the water for them now and again. They usually grow healthy and I get decent crops from them :)
Sorry Ze, ................alot of what is said on here goes right over my head but I'm reading and learning all the time :)
love mand xxx :)
Miracle Grow is a chemical fertilizer. Because of this, a lot of people dislike it or any chem fert. Organic or nothing! Is easier to burn a plant by the inexperienced grower with chems. Also they are supposed to create salts in the soil and are hard to flush, sometimes creating all kinds of little (or major) problems. BUT...I have seen photos and read grow journals of people that use chem ferts and the yields they get and quality of harvest rivals even the best organic growers. So in a nutshell, it's all in your expertise and knowledge of the products you use. Don't let anyone BS you that they won't work as they will. Just not as easy. And it's all about easy. Simple is best. Listen to Mand!
Miracle grow is not formulated to grow short-term resin producing plants period.
The nutrient formula is all wrong for this type if plant.
If you want cheep nutrients and can't find the correct ones to buy online. Look for Shultz cactus formula that is at least close.
If it's all wrong then how have people successfully used Miracle Grow to grow some impressive plants? Must not be all wrong. Just sort of. ;) Like the analogy of 'growing' your kids. Yes they'll grow with Fruit Loops and hotdogs but not as healthy as ones eating a good organically grown balanced diet. Point being? They still grow.
Miracle Grow will work. It's just not the best choice.
As a "regular" vegetable gardner long before I started with MJ growing I second what Mand says. If you have experience making your own compost (and are growing in soil) the benefits are nothing short of amazing. Home made compost works great for just about any plant and is literally "dirt cheap".
Most problems with MG users is they tend to overdo it from being too anxious to see results.

There's your answer, right there. Can't be any clearer than that.Quote:

There is one in every croud.Quote:

Dude good luck to you.
