How many plants have you grown to maturity with miracle grow?

[Garden Knowm]

JAKE, CLOUD, CHOWDER

The ph of the water can play a big part in the success with miracle grow.. another big factor... is length of vegging period... If you keep the vegging perios very short... YOU can be extrememly succesful..

I am eager to see your pics and hear the details about your grow...

Hahaha, I'm glad I caught this thread. That Miracle-Gro potting soil [ I'm assuming the three month continuous feed crap ] isn't as good as everyone says, and it's not as bad either. Every plant I've grown to maturity in Miracle-Gro soil depleted the soil of nutrients at least a month before those three months were up.

Ingredients: This product is formulated from forest products
compost and Canadian sphagnum peat moss, perlite,
a wetting agent, and fertilizer (see below).
In Georgia, this product is formulated from 50-60% forest
products compost, and Canadian sphagnum peat moss,
perlite, a wetting agent and fertilizer (see below).

Miracle-Gro Potting Mix, 0.21 - 0.07 - 0.14
Total nitrogen (N)* ......................0.21%
0.12% ammoniacal nitrogen
0.09% nitrate nitrogen
Available phosphate (P2O5)*..........0.07%
Soluble potash (K2O).....................0.14%

Derived from: Coated and uncoated: ammonium nitrate,
ammonium phosphate, calcium phosphate, and
potassion sulfate.

*A portion of the nitrogen, phosphate and potash has been
coated to provide 0.15% coated slow release nitrogen (N), 0.03%
coated slow release available phosphate(P2O5) coated
slow release soluble potash(K2O).

Anyone see what I mean? An NPK of .21-.07-.14! That's less than 1-1-1 for the seriously decimal illiterate --- the highest thing in it, Nitrogen, is at twenty-one hundredths of one percent. And the slow release formula capsules are even less! With that said, I might also add that I had to fertilize them after they began showing signs of nutrient deficieny in the middle of flowering, so I fed them some of Miracle-Gro's other products [ Miracle-Gro Expert Gardener All Purpose Plant Food (15-30-15) and Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster Flower Food (10-52-10)], and they turned out great. I managed to pick up a third recently, Miracle-Gro Azalea/Camellia/Rhododendron Plant Food 30-10-10, which I will be using for my next grow in unison with the other two --- that is, 15-30-15/30-10-10 [ Vegetative ] and 15-30-15/10-52-10 [ Flowering ].

Your reading that wrong.See how those chemicals are coated for slow release.Thats the problem.How are you gonna flush if there are chemical nutes in the soil.Plus everyone says it's pretty acidic.I know Miracle grow used to have stuff in it that was real bad for MJ.But they stopped using it.So now it's the time release that is the problem.IF your going to use pre mixed soil w/ nutes/ go organic and make it easy on yourself!

..Your reading that wrong.See how those chemicals are coated for slow release.Thats the problem...

No; I'm not reading it wrong, that's not the problem. The slow release comes from tiny fertilizer capsules that are mixed in the soil, I'm sure people have seen them --- tiny, round capsules filled with a light green mixture. Well, that's the 'coated' slow release crap.


.."*A portion of the nitrogen, phosphate and potash has been

That's not going to burn your plant. That's not going to burn anything. I'm adding fertilizers -to the soil- and even with the slow release capsules still present in the soil, it doesn't burn the plant. And if you want to talk about acidic mediums; Jiffy-7 pellets. I use them to sprout seeds in and they have a pH of ~5.5.

Besides, by the time it's time to flush your plant it should have already depleted the soil of the mediocre nutrients intended for porch mums.
