Yes you should get a ppm or E.C. meter it makes a world of difference
At 3 weeks my plants are almost ready to go in to flowering at 15"

Miracle grow is crappy for your grow. That's your problem right there.So I have 4 girls in my newly set up BC Northern Lights Bloom Box, and 3 of them are hurting really bad.I feel so sorry for them because I can't solve the issue so I need some opinions on taking the next step to healing them.
The three largest of the four are almost 3 weeks old, and all at different stages. The smallest is the newest addition to the family and is about 1 week old. The biggest fem was grown outside in organic compost and top soil, and fed Miracle Gro, and as you can see, is doing the best of them all. The PH level was never monitored. The others seem to be suffering from different nute deficiencies but since I don't have a lot of experience, I'm not exactly sure what they're suffering FROM. I have been feeding them a mixture of Sensi Grow Part A & B, and Vita Boost Pro, mixed with the right measurements. I have kept the PH bewteen 5.6 and 5.9. At first I was convinced it was due to over watering but it's obvious there's something deeper than that.. The ones that have been grown inside a have stunted growth and damage to the leaves.
Picture #1: The 1 weeker.
Picture #2 & 3: 3 weeks.
Picture #4: The only one growing in a organic soil medium. 3 weeks.
Picture #5: This baby is 3 weeks, and was kept outside and fed Miracle Gro in our veg garden. Forgot about this girl until today and transplanted this and another to the veg chamber in the box.
So, any growers wisdom would be appreciated. This is my experimental phase until I have enough experience to obtain successful yields.
Thanks!

You need to invest in better nutrients if you want to actually get a good grow. I know that Miracle Grow is cheap, but if you look around these boards, you will see story after story of how Miracle grow f---s up grows.
You want to invest in yoru nutrients since they're the things that are helping to bolster your grow. Advanced Nutrients is what I use - awesome stuff. But I know other growers suggest others that work for them. Use somethign that's actually designed for growing weed - not for growing things that are just supposed to look pretty.
You want to boost yoru grow, not just make it grow well. good luck - the first one is the toughest, but you'll do better with each one you try...
