I just got back from a month long vacation and my plants need some nutes i picked up Miracle Grow all purpose plant food its 24-8-16 this is my first grow so I dont know much about ferts this will be the first ferts i will use and my plants are about 2 months old, also is this organic i dont believe it is, it dosent say on the box but does anyone know? thank you
Not organic, and that stuff is HOT (in case you dont know hot is a term used to state its too fertile), if you are gonna use it (I strongly dislike miracle grow myself) use a super weak dose, like 1/4 or less the reccomended dosage. If your like me and want to go organic go to a hydro shop, garden center, landscape supply, hardware store, farm supply, ect and get something else. Usually organic nutes concentrate on one or two of the NPK numbers so you may have to buy a few different ferts, and they smell wonderfully nasty so beware.
that is totally wrong for the plant in it's current stage of life. it should be getting lots of n betwwen 10-16 and not much else. since you left them alone for a month and bought mg it shows you dont care so use what ever you want, and unless it says organic on the bottle or package..it wont be organic.
Its not totally wrong, it's got heavy N low P and the K is a bit excessive but it will be cool if used sparingly.Quote:

And yeah leaving a plant alone for a month is careless, but if it's alive and not on its death bed, whats wrong with that? They can be very tough. Shit I had a billion plants pop up in my back yard and get 2-4 feet before I knew they were there, no care at all in the hot ass summers of the indland desert.
Dont be so harsh on the noobs, there trying to learn.
peace
yup were learnin but i also use miracle grow verrry low doseage like 1/10 the recommended doseage but im lookin for new ferts what brands do u recommend...
damn... wish i new this thread was here b4 i went to the store today. I picked up some MG to use while vegging(8-7-6) and for flowering I picked up some schultz (10-15-10). I was actually gonna post a question about this in a new thread but since this one is up and actually getting looked at i'll post it here. Is the second fert too hot and before i crack the seal on the MG should i return it and get something else? I havent started to grow yet but I am planning on planting my seeds on saturday when i pick them up from a friend so i'm preparing for my first grow. any input about the ferts would be much appreciated

Sorry I had to make that very clear, organic soil has organisms doing alot of work for you. Chemical fertiliers such as miracle grow kill those organisms, bad news.
hmm I just noticed the yeag got banned. I cant help but to wonder if it was for what he posted on this thread?
