I just recently bought some miracle gro patio formula(20-20-20) and i am just curious how much of this to mix with water, the box says to mix 1/4 tableteaspoon with one gallon of water and use it everyday. Does this sound like a good feeding technique for mj , anyone who uses this type of plant food please let me hear your suggestions. Thanks alot

Make sure you know if its a tablespoon of teaspoon that you're supposed to be using.
Ferting is one of the hardest things to learn. It is good to remember that the soil will cover almost any mistakes with underferting, but overferting can get you into big trouble.

My best rule of thumb would be to judge your plants and soil and get a rough idea of how much you will need, then use Ž�only 2/3 of what you thought you would need. After that you can very slowly give them more and watch how they react to it. Ferting takes experience. I've learned to watch everything that I do and to try to learn from my mistakes.

Sure, its a great feeding technique! I use miracle gro and I usually go with a much lower concentration than what it says on the box, but I feed them more often. The problem that most people (including me) run into isn't how much you put into the mix, but how often you should feed with how much of the mix.

Putting the food into every 2nd watering along with a much less concentrated mix will end up being very forgiving compared to what could happen if you feed a lot more at very sparse intervals.

Good Growing,

Alright thanks for the info, i think ill use the fert every other watering and see how that goes

Doobious

This was my growing technique. I used MG Patio food and my plant turned out incredible.

For veg growth:

1/4 tsp MG Patio per gallon of distilled water
1/2 tsp Pro-Tect Silicon additive


Flower growth:
1/4 tsp MG Bloom Booster per gallon of distilled water
1/2 tsp Pro-Tect Silicon additive


Aggressive Flower growth
1/2 tsp MG Bloom Booster per gallon
1/2 tsp Pro-Tect


I would go on the standard wet/dry cycle to water... when the soil would get dry, that's when I'd water... sometime every 3 or 4 days... use the aggressive method for the last month or so of flowering... start by watering a little.. then move up.

what happen if you give too much fert to your plant ?
I do a test on a male, 1tsp(20-20-20)/150ml
and feed with this... after 4 days nothing wrong happen, look healthy and grow fast....

I will try to feed it with max fert as possible till he let see that's to much

I never really care about fert, I only drop 6 or 8tsp in water, don't know how much water are the container maybe 6litres ?
I think they love it... I never hab prob with my plants... only damn lil black fling bastard, don't look to harm plants but I don't realy like to see it fly around room.

I think about using guano too, but it's a bit expensive and don't know if it's realy good...
what happen before they die ? yellowing leaves ?
I do my fert test on an ****ing hermi...

I think about cut every male stem and let the only one that's female....
have you ever tried this ?

thx for advice

(sorry for my english...)

Too much fertilizer and it will DIE!!

Start light and slowly increase the strength if you think you need to
