Default Has anyone used Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster Fertilizer for flowering?
Has anybody that grows indoors using CFL lighting personally used Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster fertilizer during the flowering stage? And if so, what were the results?

I realize alot of people frown upon the idea or hearing of people using Miracle-Gro porducts when growing. The truth is that i'm on a tight budget at the moment and this is my first grow indoors. I plan on upgrading and giving Fox Farm products (FF Ocean Forest soil, and Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom for fertilizers) a try, considering i've just recieved 5 feminized Super Lemon Haze seeds from amsterdam. (HTCC 1st Prize Genetics).

But for now i'm working with all Mircal-Gro products (2/3 Miracle-Gro moisture control soil, 1/3 pearlite, i've used in very diluted amounts 1/4 of the concetration of Miracle-Gro All Purpose fertilizer 24-8-16 during vegging...i'm moving into flowering very shortly just a few days from now). Now i'm asking if Miracle Gro Bloom Booster fertilizer is something good to use during the flowering stage? Its NPK is 15-30-15.

I know nitrogen is especially important during vegging, and higher levels of phosphorous are very much important during the flowering stage. Any comments regarding this fertilizer used during flowering would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Oh and if your interested in seeing my pics if it in anyway helps give you a better explanation you can check my album out, and read the captions as well.

I use MG outdoors but not indoors. If you use MG indoors be sure to flush on a regular schedule. The problem is MG is too strong for indoors and can cause deficencys.So feed then flush the next 2 times then feed again and you should be OK!

It works ok but it's much harder to use than a real quality fertilizer because it burns so easily but even if you fed full strength you still can't give the plant enough of it to satisfy the plants needs for calcium and magnesium, you'll need a supplement for that which can be just as expensive as buying a quality fert to start with unless you find some cal-mag pills to crush up or epsom salts to use or something but using cheap easy burning nutes and substitute additives can get even trickier.

No to mention ph issues...

Do what you have to do. I am also using it right now in fact but I'm not exactly loving life and am always having problems with less than perfectly healthy plants and it's been a real struggle.

However to be fair my plants are big and only I would be stupid enough to try to grow trees taller than the ceiling with crap nutrients.

LMAO !! Gimme a break, I used it my last grow according to the directions on the box. Always fed when I watered the recommended mixture and also sparayed on the leaves every day. Almost immpossible to get fert burn unless you dont follow the directions which are clearly printed on box and your measuring cup has 2 sizes. An outdoor big spoon and an indoor very small spoon to measure per gallon of water. Im tired of every1 knocking Miracle gro. Look at my plants do they look like they are hurtin ?? Hell no !! Miracle gro potting mix u can purchase at just about any store.

You missed what I was doing I wasn't knocking it I was explaining it's limits. Your little plants are one thing but try to grow plants like these as I have with miracle grow and you will learn a lot more about it.

Look at my plant dude, it takes a lot more to get to this point than your little plants.
Yours are like seedlings in comparison, anyone could grow those.

Ok I might have come off a lil bitchy sorry, mBut I only use mg foir my vegging. When I go to flower I transplant into soil and use bloombooster and fish emulsion with 20% perlite, and vermaculite. Sometimes I use worm castings or bat guano but I kinda grow different every time still tryin to find the perfect mix.
