Micracle Grow Tomato Plant food

[dknob]

I got this Miracle Grow tomato plant food cause I was looking for some 20-20-20. This stuff is 18-18-21 which is fine.

Question is.

It tells me to take a level scoop of this water soluble shit to a gallon of water. I know thats wrong. What amount of this stuff should I put in a Gallon of water? First time nuting my plants.

 

[Alpine farmer]

1/4 then gradually increase

 

[dknob]

Thank you.

If I feed every other watering, should I be increasing the amt every feeding? Or like twice 1/4 dose, then twice 1/2 dose, then twice 3/4 dose, etc etc

Welp I got 32 to test on, and only 12 of them will ever be able to flower. Im only going to feed two plants for now and see how they do.

Why were you looking for 20-20-20? That could just be 1-1-1...

It's all about ratios, not numbers, my friend...

 

[dknob]

Wha? 20-20-20 is suggested by my seedbank. What other variables on nutes should I be paying attn to? Didn't know this.

Again, it's all about ratio. 1-1-1 is essentially the same as 20-20-20, you would just need to make a stronger mix of it.

 

[dknob]

Ah gotcha. Well if its all the same, id rather just mix a little less in there and get the 20-20-20.

[Howards Alias]

Yeah I think anyone would rather do that...but keep it in mind for any times in the future when you can't find the one you want!

Throw that shit away. Lowe's is good advice. Personally, I stay away from box stores. Consider this. At your local grocery store, pick up some molasses, whole/stone ground cornmeal & Epsom salt. Then go to the local Nursery & pick up some greensand, liquid seaweed, & organic compost. "Black Cow" & Ladybug" products is what I use, & mushroom compost. A tea can be made with these. Follow directions. Try to flush that shit out of your root system, it just killed all the micro organisms in your soil, needed for a plant to fight against disease. A heavy spray of liquid seaweed to the entire plant once per week will keep away/kill spider mites & feed your plant also. Most of the stuff mentioned is cheap, & your plants will love it.

From what ive read MG only gets bad reviews from people that dont use it in the right doses. 1/4 is what you need according to most people. Ive been reading up on it because i want something i can buy anywhere. I think im going to buy the mg Bloom(15-30-15), Schultz bloom(10-54-10) and compare to my Pure Blend Pro

Yeah, you want high P and K. I just hit the 2 weeks mark of flowering and I'm currently feeding:

1ml Bio-Grow (8-2-6) and 2ml Bio-Bloom (2-6-3.5) and it's working fantastically. Can't recommend this stuff enough, and it's also dirt cheap and organic!
