first, it DOES need a monthly flush if grown in a container or the unused minerals will lock plant up and kill it. secondly, miracle grow works very well if used correctly. add a little fresh soil, you should be fine. peace!
RELAX--I probably shouldn't have said you don't need to be advising, but what you said, you said as if it was law. A lot of growing is subjective, depending on experience and what you want to do exactly.RangerDanger said:I've probably been growing weed longer than you've existed, and have grown hundreds of lbs. of top quality dope.
Plants DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT need a "monthly flush" if you're dosing properly. I don't flush my plants monthly and they grow just fine.
Miracle grow products are crap, every single bleedin one of them. I know, I used them for years because I didn't know any better.
Nowadays, with top quality info available at the click of a mouse, there's no reason to use it other than it's better than nothing.
One of these days you may try a quality nutrient and you'll see.
There's a reason why experienced growers advise against using miracle grow products. Why do you suppose this is?
The difference between miracle grow and something good like Iguana Grow is like the difference between am/pm hot dogs and a gourmet meal.
I've heard that before, but was told you get a buildup, maybe potassium, over time. You don't have any problems with that?QUEENBUD00 said:I only use one fert. all natural ,well decayed horse manure.Couple shovel scoops into a 5 gal.bucket.Fill with water,let it steep..overnight,then a gal. to each plant,once a week.Plenty of water,and sunshine.....no flushing required.......

just because you don't flush monthly and grow fine, doesn't mean no one ever needs to. I've done both and had better luck, a lot better luck, doing it.
Miracle grow is not at all the best, and I don't think anyone short of a Miracle Gro salesperson would say otherwise. But I bet money that more people have grown fine weed with it than any other fert simply because you can walk in any wal mart and get it. I think MRBLUNTZ420 is fairly new and will probably do fine, if he puts a few more drain holes in the bottom of his container for proper drainage. Don't think he's trying to grow 'hundreds of pounds'. (ie no need to click a mouse and buy what anyone tells him to, that will probably intimidate him into thinking he's screwing everything up)
When I first started out I was waaay overwhelmed by all the people giving advise, and some made it sound like if you didn't do it their way you're doing it wrong. Most of 'em just want to look smart I think. This shit is easy to grow man.
Lastly you don't know me, how long I've existed OR grown, and what quality nutrients I've used but I know something about you...It's really smart to go on a public site and say that you've grown hundreds of pounds of quality herb.

I'm not wishing any ill will on anybody, but like I said when I 1st started out responses like yours confused the hell out of me and almost intimidated me right out of growing. Again even if you have healthy plants, a good monthly flush won't hurt for sure. Call it preventive maintenance, but from my experience I always got bigger healthier plants from doing it. peace
