Why is Miracle Grow so frowned upon?

[seventhchild]

I am on my first grow. Fluoro, 289watts, 4 ladies, 2 weeks flowering, and they all look pretty darn happy to me even though I've been using MG. I switched to MG Bloom @ flower. Feed full strength every other water and add molasses in between. I figure as long as I flush good I should be Ok right?:smokin:

what medium are you growing in ?IMHO any mix with timed release food is BAD.if by flushing you mean water till it runs out the bottom of ur pot than yes do that....but do not allow the container to set in this runoff....

Well in my experience I got widely varying nitrogen content and it often would burn plants..

They make great stuff for house plants. Cannabis really does not like high amounts of nitrogen. Sure it needs some, but MG is just too inconsistent. One bag burns, the next is awesome.

I'v used MG nutes off and on for 30+ years and never had a problem with their consistency BUT THE TIMED RELEASE SOILS DO SUX BIGTIME .MG's 12-4-8 does excellent during veging if you provide trace nutes. its all just chemicals .....used properly any brand of food will grow excellent plants. i prefer GH's maxibloom and JACKS 10-30-20 for flowering as they are a more complete feed than MG.
