Miracle Grow

I have been using miracle grow all purpose, as the base of my hydro solution. How much should be added per gallon, to get the numbers they post? Have been using half of what they say for outdoor plants. Which works out, with other additives, to around 1500 ppm, including about 300 for the tap water.

Seems to do fine, but want to make sure I am on track.

Thanks!!!

I was looking for a response from some one that knew about nutrients, not some one that spends 20 times as much for nothing.

I was gunna comment but with replys like that nothing i say is gunna be what you want to hear peace!

the blind swordsman is also blind to constructive criticism? lol

I used the same shit when I started in DWC. I used 1/4 tsp per gallon during early veg, which is half of the indoor watering can recipe and it worked fine.

MG makes water soluble nutes you can use in hydro... I think everyone always thinks of time release balls soil nutes when they hear MG. In fact, my seedlings were starting to yellow and wilt in a nute-less soil solo cup until I transplanted to DWC with mild MG nutes and they took off super fast in a day or two.

Miracle Gro = marijuana herbicide

If you absolutely insist on using commercial chem nutes for hydro, I would definitely go with one of the Peters products.

Kinda what i was thinking!

Products like Miracle Gro simply do not work in hydroponics. They are made from the wrong forms of nitrogen and they are not complete formulas. Your 'yield' (assuming you managed to keep them alive long enough to harvest something) would be 1/10th that of hydroponic fertilizer.

I was first starting here, and the soil was just awful, I did try spraying it as a foliar spray it in the vegetable garden.

I have used it outside with good results. Just wouldn't use it in Hydro.
