Default 5 Products Better than Miracle Grow & under $10 At your local Home Depot
permalink
Ok so lately I've noticed lots of newbies Asking nutrient (aka nutes) Questions.

I consider Miracle Grow a vile nasty product that does more harm than good in most cases. The fact of the matter is it's so readily available and cheap thats what most newbies turn to. Considering newbies and miracle grow don't mix I decided to do some research on a few products that are just as available as MG (Miracle Grow) and much more beneficial.
All these products can be found at Home Depot, Lowes and sometime Wal-Mart.

First on the list for veg...
shultz 10-15-10 W/ micronutrients.
It is formulated to give all plants the essential primary nutrients and the micronutrients,
iron, manganese and zinc, they need for vigorous growth.
Sells for about $4.98
I usually start a half the recomemded amount and work my way up to full stregnth.

Also for veg. & all Organic
Epsoma Plant-Tone. $7.57
An all natural, all purpose premium plant food blend.
Long lasting, slow release feeding.
Complex blend of of the safest, finest natural ingredients available.
No sludges, fillers, or toxic ingredients are ever used.
This Product should only be used twice to three times during veg. Once again use half the recomended amount for the first feeding. Only use once a month.

This next product can be used once a month in conjuncton w/ your normal feeding schedule
Alaska Fish Fertilizer $5.48
Nutrient rich fish has been used as a fertilizer for centuries.
The pilgrims knew to bury fish in the soil to assure vigorous plant growth and plentiful h
arvests. Generations of gardeners have relied on Alaska Fish to give them all the
benefits of this traditional, time tested fertilizer in formulas that are easy and
convenient to use. Alaska Fish offers pure fish organic fertilizers in formulas that
gardeners want. Alaska Fish Fertilizer can be applied using a sprinkling can or clog
free hose end garden feeder. This product is for use in organic gardening. Use on all
indoor and outdoor plants. It is all purpose deodorized fish emulsion fertilizer that is
derived from seagoing fish. Also use half whats recomended.

For Flowering...
For flowering I've only found one really useful product, that can be found at all three stores...
Color Burst 15-30-15 $5.48
This I also cut the recommended amount in half. These are time release granules, but they are released by heat not water, so even if you over water the plants won't burn.

Lastly for people with soil ph problems...
Epsoma Organic Garden lime $3.97
The finest grade of pelletized, dolomitic limestone available.
Lime adjusts soil pH so plants can get the most from nutrients present.

Ok so I hope this helps someone out there with these questions. I'm still kind of a newbie myself but after actually trying these products myself it occurred to me to share my research. There are of course better more advanced products out there but these are common better than MG and they worked for me!!!

That stuff I really don't recomend. Just get some scotts potting mix.
I'm not big on soils that have a bunch of stuff added.
Good stuff to add to soil before you plant ....
Bat guano or
Worm castings ( poo )
Fish emulsion

Where can you get this? Home Depot? Can I use it on my clones that are probably 1 - 2 weeks old?
