sorry bro.....there are some that still use that crap but they water it down and add other products. Most of them just feed at like 1/4 to 1/2 strength. What a wast that is to me. There are many quality nutrients available for a fair price that are designed to grow this plant.

Most commercially available fertilizers are meant for fertilizing plants grown in soil and do not contain all the necessary trace elements. Special fertilizers contain all those trace elements, and are also made to be very soluble so that the plants can easily uptake the nutrients from the watering solution. Those other fertilizers will work to grow some plants but they cannot compare to the results you will experience with the proper nutrients. Most commercially available fertilizers are like junk food for your plants giving you quick results that do not last very long then burn out.


Miracle Grow is not for dichotomous short day resin producing plants.
