I've used it in a vegetable garden before. Worked fine. But I don't use it anymore. Now I use organics. There's better stuff than MG, but if that's all you can get make due with what you got. I used soluble MG my very first grow years ago and it worked fine.

It'll do fine during veg. Just find something with more potassium for flower. Weed is just a plant Afterall, it doesn't need specific nutrients with marijuana on the label.

No. It says feeds up to 3 months meaning time release. Totally unpredictable results.

Never used it but I’ve used other 3-part nutes and you should be good to go. Start at 1/4 the amounts on the bottles or on the feeding schedule. Far easier catching up to any deficiency than trying to reduce a super high EC in your medium.

I'd use that if it was all I had. In fact that's not a bad fertilizer. Many people just dismiss Miracle-Gro but many of their products are as good as fancy cannabis specific products and are made with the same ingredients. They make more products than just that old blue water soluble stuff.
If you look at the label you can see that there is nothing wrong with the ingredients and you will find those same ingredients in fancy cannabis specific nutrients. It's just a combination of organic and non-organic ingredients. I'm not making a recommendation just trying to dispel the myth that everything Miracle-Gro is bad and you can't grow cannabis with it. You can and be successful doing it. Their Performance Organics line for example are solid products that are readily available and perfectly fine to use for growing cannabis or any other plants.

I am running buckets of vegetables planted in Miracle Gro organic potting soil. Stuff is pretty damned impressive. Open the bag and any gardener is going to be happy. $16 at Costco and I wish I’d bought more. Next year!
Starting out in the 60’s I’ve fed hundreds of plants that turquoise liquid. It has all the micros including copper. Works just fine if not overused.

Grandma used that shit in her garden. Had a house in the city, but that woman grew absolutely everything. I mean everything. The brand is probably still around for a reason

That was pretty much all you could find that was concentrated back then. It was just a learning curve and in my case it was learning that a little goes a long way. Nobody knew what a deficiency was but we knew when we had given too much.

i don't mind using the soil either when i find it, what i do with it, is cut with something else, like a top soil etc. Then i use it.....not bad stuff...imo

That old blue stuff actually has less heavy metals in it than many of the bigger name brand cannabis nutrients.

This is the first time I’ve seen this stuff. I loaded the perlite in it. Extremely rich and dense. I really do wish I had bought more because once it was gone that was it until next year here. I used some of their black bag organic soil a couple of years ago. Again it was fine but did need additional perlite due to density.

that's the one thing i do see with MG, not enough perlite in it.......if they added a little more....boom there ya go...i do remember seeing MG perlite at a store some where...where you can make your soil and add that to it
