Not sure what they sell at wal-mart, but wouldn't use mircle grow. I would look for something made for tomatoe plants. Go easy at first, maybe 1/4 strength then step it up until you know the plant can take it. Do they sell alaska bloom there?
 
idk havent really looked around yet. quite frankly im not even sure what im looking for. i kno at this point in the year most growers are adding things to make there buds start or make them bigger(neither of which id mind) however im concerned for ther strutcure i want them to thicken up and become hardier before i focus on the buds if you kno what i mean lol

Honestly ive been using super thrive and miracle grow since day one and they seem to love it. At this point theyre growing about 1-2inches per day. I havent ph'd the water or anything and theyre very healthy. Those two nutes can be purchased at walmart

if they are spindly growth they aren't getting enough direct sunlight or not long enough exposure......pictures please. Also, how big of containers are the plants in? or are they in the ground....?

Have you tried growing a plant with no nutes? It’s much easier to over fertilize a plant then to under fertilize a plant. If you started with 30 and are down to 8 I think you may be using too much nutrients and or may have planted in soil that is to “hot”. Try and do a grow with little to no nutrients just good amended soil, once you get that down try and find away to improve.

If you really want to do a grow on the cheap you can get Schultz all purpose plant food at the hardware store for under 5$. It's not gonna
stand up to the more expensive stuff from hydro stores buts It's better then MG. Also i just got a 1lbs free sample from
http://www.hydroponic-research.com/ and supposedly you can use it for Veg+Bloom and it was free so I'm psyched to try it out. Drop them an Email I'm sure they will send you out a free sample.

Schultz All Purpose is good stuff man. I'd use it again if I had to. But yeah, pics please. I'm guessing it is at least partly a light situation.

With only walmart at your fingertips, I'd say it's time for a Miracle Grow! Good luck.
I disagree. At walmart you can find all the ingredients for a good mix. Sphagnum peat moss, Perlite, blood meal, bone meal, and earthworm castings.
