its cheap, hot, and effective when used correctly.

The key is to start low, really low, and whatch out for nutrient-lock/nutrient-burn/etc.

IMHO, that stuff is poison. My brother swore by it, he is now 6 ft. under from full body cancer from using it on all his food and smoke products.

The first time I used it, damm did I get some burn............ but I lowered the dose by alot and the growth seems good. I have nothing to compare it to however........

Bummer about your bro, but am dubious of your claim. Have you got any proof of MG's fault? If so...perhaps displaying the direct proof here (to prevent future deaths) would be a nice addition to your post, and it could be that a lawsuit is in order.
If not...well...(and I'm only speaking for myself) at least I know not to trust your future postings without double-checking your facts. It's a heavy-duty claim that has, to my knowledge, never been made by any other (legitimate) grower. EVER. Por favor...keep your facts straight, or keep them to yourself.

I used to use MG All Purpose for veg. I believe I used 1/2 tsp per gallon, once a week, on mature plants in veg. (been a while) Lowers ph, so keep an eye on it. Overdosing is easy, especially with fresh seedlings and newly-rooted clones.

The first time I used it, I noticed that I burned the leaves a little (just 1 plant). I am sure that this is because I had it too strong (my fault). In MG favor, I found that the growth has been pretty good. I am wondering what other peoples experiences are.............

im currently using MG Bloom booster on my Church plants... I started with half a teaspoon per gallon watering every other day.. Im up to 2 teaspoons a gallon now and after every gallon I water them really well with plain water... they're looking great!

used it forever successfully -in small doses(short answer)

Long Answer! but be careful! I once harvested some wicked awesome looking sticky that didn't really burn, just charred black:wtf:- from overuse of phosphates(in this case). if my memory serves me :-]

A Simple and cheap nute method for soil. Fert amounts are somewhat strain and environment dependant, and are usually determined by alot of trial and error.

Any decent soil, add 20-30% perlite
Use MG 20-20-20 for veg, Give small boost before putting in flower.
In flower: use trace amounts of 20-20-20 to taste 2 weeks +-
then use MG BB to taste for whatever you think is good for the strain
Supplement with small amounts of Kool Bloom sometime in second half of flower cycle - it stops stretch so not to early

buy alfalfa bricks in pet/farm store, put some in a sock occasionally and let it soak in your water overnight for application on a non-fertilyzer watering

also use an occassional pinch of epsom salts(non-fert watering) and monitor your ph.

Just one method of many, all ferts are readily available at the hardware store except KB which you will have to hunt down.:rastasmoke:
