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.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . Is this a nute deficiency or a bug problem? I thought it was a bug problem at first, so I snipped the lower fan leaves off. All was fine for a few days, then I get the same symptoms on the next set of leaves. Its only affecting the larger fan leaves though, not the new growth. Anyone know what this is and how I fix it before it gets worse? Im planning to transplant her into a larger pot later in a few hours. Edit: first pic was day 14. Second and third pic are day 20. Ive ruled out heat stress because none of the other plants are Rating: 5
