Well I have some tips on fertilizeing that might help,at this stage of growth you are at now I usually use just fish emulsion like a 6-3-5 something low like this is still safe to give young plants with freash water on your off days and yes i do agree that miracle grow is too strong I gradully increase my streangth as the plant adds 5 or six more nodes when your plants reach about 12 inches kick um up a notch and start in on a 16-7-6 or something in the area of that well hope all goes well....
