Hey I just bought some nutes. The NPK is 30-10-10. It's Miracle-Gro Azalea Camellia Rhododendron Plant Food. I have 2 plants about 2 weeks old and i'm wondering if i should start using or not.. on one of my plants the embryonic leaves are turning yellow but the plant is fine..

It says for indoor plants- "Mix 1/2 teaspoon per 2 quarts of water every 2 weeks. We do not recommend foliar (leaf) feeding for house plants"

what the hell does that mean?

Too early to start feeding. Wait another month to month and a half. They'll do fine soaking up nutes from the soil right now. Feed them too early and they'll get nute burn, and if you're in Miracle grow soil right now the plant that's embryonic leaves are turning yellow may be showing signs of over feeding already. It's way easier to deal with nute deficiencies than toxicity

it's in just plain top soil,,, which was in my garage so i used it

im not an expert. but marijuana is not an acid loving plant.

id say those nutes are not good. maybe you should of asked then bought?

I was reading here somewhere that someone was using 20-10-10 and it was good... so i figured this would work. only 4 bucks.

would this work? anyone?

It will work. But its not good. Yes it has big high numbers, but it doesnt have them in the right ratio weed needs. Yes you can use it and yes it will work but its not the best. Also, when they say dont foliar feed that means dont spray it on your leaves. It will burn them either just from the chemical burning or if you spray when lights are on the lights will burn them where the water droplets are. Any way you look at it miracle grow is bad news. Either go to a local hydroponic store (yes, you probably have one, youve just never looked so you dont know) or order them online.

Oh and it says 1/2 teaspoon per 2quart. Thats for acid loving plants. I would go more with 1/2 teaspoon per GAL.

i mixed 1/4 teaspoon w/ 2 quarts.. you think i should dilute it?

No, i say that would be ok. Just dont pour it on the leaves. Miracle grow is bad about burning leaves when sprayed or spilled. My friend sprayed his planted with very diluted miracle grow, against my best advice, and i swear it only took 3 days and it was completely dead. Every leaf was brown and dead. It was amazing how fast it killed it. But hey you said it yourself, it was only 4 bucks. So you wont be losing much if you dont use it and get some good nutes. If you are going to put a couple of months into growing this awesome plant, dont you thinkyou should do it to the very best of your abilities?

Miracle-Gro Azalea Camellia Rhododendron Plant Food is a Acidic Plant food as Azaleas ,Camellias and Rhododendrons need a Acidic soil.. Thats why it states its for those types of plants....MJ doesn't it will mess up your soil ph.. Buy something else...
