MiracleGro Bloom Booster? It's just like any other high PK product. Whether boosting PK "works" is debatable. But, MG's product is no different than any other. It's NPK ratio 1-3-2. That's pretty much what other (more extreme) boosters produce when mixed with your half-strength nutrients.

As far as MiracleGro goes, I'm growing a plant using MG Tomato. It's going pretty good. It could be better by mixing it with MG All Purpose to get more N in veg. And then, I would mix it with Bloom Booster in flower to get a better ratio. (But, I want to see how it works by itself. Some people want to start growing on a budget, etc.).

Personally, I don't think high PK does much. But, I'm still not sure. I still boost.

Yea the Scott booster is 7-55-10 so mixed at half strength should be 3.5-27.5-5 I tried one plant on last grow with mg bloom booster it was flop it gave a bunch of buds but they never got meaty had to dilute so much to not get nute burn that might as well just gave water it's something I've been experimenting on for a while now this time I have new soil mix I'm trying on half my plants it's manure, humus, mulch, lime, worm castings, and guano with small gardening shovel in bucket I put one scoop of each then 1/8 cup lime then repeated till full no mixing it has awesome drainage lots of O2 for roots and seems to be a great cheap mix

We're talking about a different product. MiracleGro Bloom Booster is 15-30-15. That is a 1-2-1 ratio.

What you're using is a 1-7.9-1.4 ratio. That is imbalanced and not something I would use without mixing it with a balanced product to get a ratio like 1-2-2 to 1-3-2. Using it half-strength doesn't change the ratio.

It sounds like you're growing outdoors. That may be different.

Actually I have 2 4x4x80" tents with 1- 600watt air cooled appollo hps/mh and one 400 watt air cooled yeild lab hps/MH in each one 3 six inch exhaust booster fans 250 cfm and one big exhaust fan 500cfm pushing from start of exhaust system yep not my first grow it's just one of my tents this round is an experiment tent if it produces good if it doesn't then I wasted 13 weeks of time and 200$ or so pretty cheap fun if you ask me lol I know that feet balance is off but I thought about mixing it with bonide 10-5-10 just seeing on this one what is the best I can walk in local homedepot and buy to use so far on 11 plants soil buckets ect I think I'm around $60 more or less if this experiment works maybe it can help some people on tight budget get to grow a proven method

Scotts is partnered with monsanto. Not owned.

Scotts owns miracle gro


PK boosters are a marketing scheme and unnecessary.
