while i use a renowned nutes, i think i am going to put some good old generic miricle grow on my two outdoor plants. i have seen super results in veg with its use. very lush and green plants. so i think nothing bad will happen with what u want to use. its all the same. just numbers a bit re-arranged. we tend to feed our plants TOO MUCH. not what we feed em. go to mandala seeds and read their grow reccomendations, as far as nutes, and how little to use. i was using fox farm. but recently went to canna vega, and flora nova. but yes. im going to do the miracle grow thing on the outdoor gals. just nothing the last few weeks, or even a month.

A picture of how big your plants are or a description would help.
This isn't hydro, is it?
I think I vegged in soil for 6 weeks and I upped the PPM to about 1100.
Start somewhere low like 300ppm's and go up slowly.

Oh, poo'.
Most people don't use PPM (parts per million) meter, they just eyeball the nutes so you'll be fine.
Just go by the recommended amount on the box then add another scoop the next time you feed them and keep adding more and more nutes.
You'll see your plants react to the nutes in either a positive or negative way. If it's negative, lay off a little on the nutes.
I'm probably not much help because I'm on my first grow now, but I'm trying.

sorry pal, i just seen you was asking about plant food and thought some one could help, iv made a thread now, sorry dude. and if it helps 10-6-8 is good for veg stage but only for soil
dont use it for hydro. also i would recommend bio bizz organic its awesome and cheep, but if your using miracle grow 10-6-8 its still good but dont use a lot and id also recommend formulex it made mine massive in the first four weeks. the roots and foilage go crazy. hope it helped and sorry again

How didn't my comment help you out?
What are you asking for? An EXACT dosage?
I don't see how I could make this any simpler.
  1. Use recommended amount at first. (Let's say it's 1 TBS)
  2. Add another TBS/TPS the next time you feed them to increase the strength. (2 TBS)
  3. Repeat Step 2 each time until YOU, or the PLANTS, feel as if it's too much.
What do you need?
