Im a very poor student with a tenner to my name and unfortunately can only afford a bottle of miracle grow for my veg phase. my plants are all 11 days old, just wondered what i should be looking for on the bottle as it is my first grow, any specifics i need to keep an eye out for, nitrogen etc? (soil grow)

Miracle grow will work. Is it the best? Hell no. I think you could probably afford something more high quality if you look around and/or source on the internet. You don't need to buy the huge 5 gallon buckets of nutrients. Start with some veg nutrients from a local shop, then come flowering time pick yourself up something for bloom. Skip out on a sack once and you will be able to afford it I bet.

Your young plants need no nutes yet, and I'd be SUPER cautious on how much you use. I mean real careful.....you can always add more, but to take it back it real hard.

That stuff just isn't for cannabis, but you have to do what you have to do. Good luck.

I was using miracle grow all purpose plant food and it came out good considering it was my first time growing but the plants did have some nute issues. I switched to FoxFarms Grow big like 4 weeks in and they went from growing slow and yellow to doing a 180 and fully turning green and growing hella fast in five days. I know it will run ya around 20 and im in the same boat as you but the 20 dollars pays off big time.

also do any shops in the uk sell soil?!? just back from a B&Q superstore and although they offered thousands of varieties of compost there was only a couple of bags of top soil they sold !! also visited afew smaller gardening shops that also had no soil on sale? very bizzare!!

to anyone who reads this in the future or if you still havent bought the miracle gro.....its garbage....for the same price you can go to a true value or something like that and pick up a bag of organic blood/bone meal, smells like shit but mixed into the soil lightly and used for veg feeding this stuff will make monsters!! miracle gro isnt only uncontrolable and burns plants but it also generally leaves you with a chemically garbagy finished product..imo at least
