I've been growing Herb since 1971..and believe Me..Miracle grow is a NO-No. As are most garden fertilizers sold in regular Garden Centers.
The problems are various, but mainly, they are primarily ammonia-based...go ahead take the lid off a bottle of ammonia & sniff it...it will knock you on
your arse.....Most contain Urea..again..NOT GOOD. Most of these are long lasting and as has already been stated....You can't flush them out!
Ever smoke Herb that crackles and your joint won't stay lit, and when it does, it's harsh?....Bingo! Fertilizer !
That is a myth.
Buds do not store fertilizer.
I use Happy Frog & Black Gold. Black Gold was rare years ago..and us growers would have to drive for MILES to get some...and it sold out FAST. Now it's easy to get great soils that are designed to grow herb. The guys that make this stuff are pretty smart. Too smart to use that crap (MG).
I've produced many many crops, and for the last 20 years have been using these soils with GREAT SUCCESS...forget about the fertilizer, until budding time, then GO EASY! and for the final three weeks NO NUTES!
Flush the Hell out of them with PURE...UN Chlorinated water.. and check the PH of your water and adjust it to a ph around 6...then, cured properly, You will have some Bouquet Bud..to be proud of,and NOT be smoking Chemicals. Miracle Grow works fine for Petunias, but most of us don't smoke petunias.
Flushing soil is really dumb and unnecessary.
