I would not use any more nutes in MG soil.

if you went for miracle grow soil with nutes ya have do make some research that what ecsacly is in there..cos like DIY shop where i work we have massive gardencentre and we have like 10-15 different potting soil with different nutes and they are more or less all with different base...

Hey pilgrem I be assumin yual be usein this here box yual made to be growin from start to finish? If so yual will be keepin in these same pots yu be showin they be in now? Ifin yu realy want to use some sort of bloom builder nute my suggestion be when yu are ready to flower them yur final waterin while in veg be flushin 5 times the amount at least through the pots of the pot size. ifin they be 1 litre pots flush 5 litres of fresh water through them until run off water be runnin clean. Then yu can switch to flower and the next time yual be waterin and yu want to add yur bloom nutes start out with half strengh of the recommended amount and watch what the plants do if they like it yual can slowly increase yur nutes but be patient and carefull pilgrem be listenin to what yur plants be tellin ya and yu do fine. Good Luck pilgrem hope yual yield what yu be needin.

I be usin MG products and be lovin them they never did me wrong here be some mine I use just fur refference.

From what I understand (Not from personal experience.) the MG six month has time release nutes in it.
This is accomplished by little balls in the soil that open when a certain amount of water has passed over them.
These "balls" have different shell thicknesses so some take longer to open.

With all this in mind, IMO when you flush this MG soil all you are accomplishing is to release more nutrients. This could possibly burn your plants.

So from what I've heard it would be best not to add anything and just grow as normal.
Then around the fourth week of flower start using some unsulfered molasses. I don't know of the proper doses to use because like I've said this is all from reading what others have done.

This is a little long winded but I don't want you to make any hasty decisions that could possibly mess up your little babies.

Wait a little longer and hopefully some of the members on here that have experience with your soil will chime in. :hippy:

Yu dont have to use any bloom builder if yual dont want to just some folks like to see if it be addin some weight to the budds and in most cases it be workin for most. As for the flush bein overwaterin not if the plants be due for a waterin and the soil be dry as dry can be. Flushin out as much as the left over nutes as yu can to purge the soil of left over nute [B]uy a good flush can make way for yur introduction to bloom nutes ifin this be the way yual want to go. If not yual be doin what the above pilgrem be sayin and just let the MG nutes added in soil carry yu through as best they can. All I be sayin ifin yu want to add bloom nutes to yur grow yual be best to get out as much of the slow release nutes out as possible. as fur yur area of grow not sure gain what yual be growin but I be hopin them auto strains caus it gonna get tight in there fur sure and judgin by whats goin on in my grow the past couple days I flipped my to 12/12 and they be about 12 inches hight and in 10 days they are now 24 inches high doubled in size and I am runnin outa room. Be warned pilgrem they be sometimes growin at least double in size once yu go to 12/12. Good Luck
