I have been comparing miracle grow- Bloom Booster, with jacks classic- blossum booster. I am trying to decide if I can get away with miracle grow (That I can buy at home depot) versus ordering jacks classic seeing that I cant find it at a store. Are you guys totally against miracle grow? I'm just looking for a second opinion. Thanks for any help. WG

Some people use it without problems but I wouldn't. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't either. wait, I would use it on some things. I think it was originally made for roses. I would use it on that, but not on the trees!

I think Vi swears by jack's stuff. never used it personally, but he puts it against my foxfarm and that speaks volumes for itself there.

Just take a nice crap next to your plant! That'll make the bud bigger!

Thanks for all the help. It says bloom booster is for all flowering plants but I have until feb. before I decide. Oh yeh, nice one indica, with the crap next to the plant. I'll be sure to try that. J/k Thanks again. WG

MC grow i believe leaves a salt buildup in your soil and your buds too. yuck?.

I switched to Jacks a few years ago and it is now my favorite. However;
I have grown at least a dozen crops with both Peters and Miracle Gro.
I think the problem in using these ferts is that lots of growers over fertilize....
A little of this stuff goes a very long way. I like to feed with each watering.
If growing indoors I use only 1/2 to full teaspoon of powder with 1 gallon of water. Dosage depends on growth rate, lighting, etc. Start off with smaller amount and increase as needed. Watch your plants carefully and you will develop a "6th sense", in knowing how much to give each plant!

Another problem with these products is not flushing enough before harvest.
I like to use nothing but pure water for the last week or so before harvest. And then I flush with tons of water a couple days before cutting down.
This definitely improves flavor!

Oh, I forgot to mention, of the two, I prefer the Peters

I have decided to go ahead and use jacks to save me any doubts but 1 last thing. I will be flushing the plants before switching to blossum booster so do I start using BB when I see buds developing or a specific time after they bud? What would be the best time to start administering? thanks for all the help. WG
