Jobe's Vs Miracle gro

Which would you use? (outdoors, flowering stage)

Jobe's 09526 all purpose granular 4-4-4

^ This claims : "Contains billions of archaea, the beneficial microorganism that aggressively break down organic materials for more abundant, faster results...

or Miracle gro bloom booster 10-52-10

I notice there are 2 different variations of miracle gro bloom booster nutrient levels.
Is there any disadvantage to the stronger one?

Personally I wouldn't use miracle gro on plants I want to consume in any way.. lots of heavy metals that can be bad for you long term. I can't speak for the Jones but I've worked in a hydro shop before and granular is definitely the way to go, you're thinking right. I'm using some bat guano and acadian kelp meal right now on my outdoor babes. you can go pretty cheaply by using organic teas and top dressing

Jobe's all the way! I've been using it for months and my plants couldn't be happier! It also contains mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria. 100% organic too. First rule when considering Miracle-Gro: DONT!

Thanks for the replies.
Wow not sure why everyone is so down on the miracle gro?

But anyway, let's say that I go with the Jobe's. Looking at the guaranteed analysis, do you think I should supplement that with anything else?

I've given them one shot of that since budding began. 2 shots of molasses about one tablespoon per gallon..

Back to the miracle gro.... What would the differences be between the 2 different strengths of the bloom booster? (I mean besides the obvious)

Are they typically used for different types of flowers or what?

I decided to just go with the Jobe's for two reasons. I can't control the rain (and thus the watering) and the jalepenos I used Jobe's on came out about 3x the normal ssize and tons of them.

But now the question, How many times/how often you think I should use it?

These things may be only about 2-3 wks into flower.

Oh yeah, looked on the bag again the NPK was something like 2-5-3, or 2-7-4? but not 4-4-4. Can't find the exact thing online.

Anyone have an opinion or experience similar? The Jobe's doesn't work as fast and there's not much time left.

Just as most recommend half strength for chemicals/MG etc, wondering of there are any rules of thumb for use of the granular organic used a top dressing during budding?

here's a quick pic. Not near as impressive as lots I've seen on here but I like the way the sun played in this photo.
Budlets are anywhere from pinkie to thumb size.
