And can anyone thats advance let me know if i can test or use this....since i begun flowering as of Friday 16th....????? to see how the plant likes it...

and how much water and powder to add? (I give my plant 2 cups)

I believe if I were you, I would just stick with plant nutrients. I know money is tight, but it's less than $10.00 for a bottle of nutes that will last you quite a long time, especially if you are only growing a few plants. I've been using the same bottle of Grow Big for over 6 months now and I still have 1/3rd of the bottle left.

What Harry said!!

I think baby formula is probably more expensive than plant nutrients anyway.
