so i got a set of miracle grow bloom buster and its (15-30-15). just wondering, what exactly do those numbers refer to?
now you guys are recommending 1/8th to 1/16th the recommended amount? ive started off with 1/2 the recommended amount and havnt seen a problem yet, but its been two days and im also planning on only watering with the nuts every other day.....
what exactly do the epsom salts do for the plant?

The 15-30-15 is the NPK values for that product. For budding you generally want high P, veg nutes are usually high N. You can read up on NPK in the grow faq, plenty of detailed info there. Epsom salts, if I remember correctly, just help the plant by giving it minerals found in the salt and also it allows the plant to absorb nutrients in the soil that would otherwise be locked out due to pH problems.

This is my first growing using Mg potting soil mix. I think i fuked myself by not using enough soil bc i see the roots at the bottom of the pot and they're only 3wks into vegging. They're about 7 in tall and have 7 leaf branches, is that enough to start flowering? If anyone would comment please do so

Is that two plants in one pot? If so, that's not a good idea, and you've gotten yourself into a tough situation. There's virtually no way you can separate the roots at this point so maybe try and transplant into the biggest pot you can find. As for the amount of soil in your pot, you could have filled it more but most of that side space at the top is unused soil anyways.

I dont think giving nutes every other day is a great idea, that'll end up killing your plants... and the reason behind giving the 1/8th dose is to control all the levels in your soil safely. MG is already at .15/.05/.10 w/o any nutes and I dont think (could be wrong) there adding the time rease nutes to those figures, which if there not would raise the levels in soil (which is one of the biggest reasons why people say not to use MG). Oh man I just baked some brownies....... so f'ing good lol
Oh and wait until there between 12 - 18" before you even think about flowering them

Hey space cowboy, i had the same issue, my soil compacted and the pale of the bottom of the stem and the top of some roots started to show. i simply put another small layer of MG ontop of what was there already, covering the exposed roots and it turned out fine.
as for when you should start flowering, it depends on alot of factors. the two biggest ones i can see are the amount of grow space left, time constraints for when your grow needs to be finished (if there are any). other than that, im not well experienced but from what ive read here, you could start flowering whenever you see fit.... at what stage you flower just changes your final yield

I wouldn't use the ES for foliar feeding (but then, I'm against foliar feeding)
I start the ES when it goes into flowering. I give it to this strain no matter what soil its in.
(BTW, the MG soil produced the most, FF and Pro Mix were identical, and behind the MG)
I am 4 weeks into veg, not flowering. I have 3 in MG soil and one in FF OF soil. They all started turning yellow on top at the same time when I put them in my tent. Could it be my tent?? I have a Habitat 33 tent in my closet. I have been trying to grow for 8 monthes and i have been getting stuck at the same spot like 5 different times when i put them in my tent.

mg grow works awesome. the plant phood that i get is the kind that you mix in the water. and it has worked woderful for my soil and hydro applications both, i just change from mg veg, to mg bloom accordingly... skeptics of mg are totally ignorant in my book, that goes especially for you mistaphuk
