A few of my plants have a nitrogen deficiency i think, has anyone tried miracle gro? Ive been using the grow time booster that came with the kit and i did a soil test, showed multiple times absutely no color change for nitrogen. Is miracle gro too much for the plants? Thanks!

With its time released fertilizer, miracle gro probably isn’t your best bet. Have you been checking your ph?

I don’t know that I’d recommend miracle gro, it’s lengthy release wouldn’t help immediately. Try to fill this out and we can make better suggestions.

Miracle grow does have nitrogen. So does urine. I’ve actually peed a circle around plants out in the woods to give them a shot of N. I wouldn’t recommend either of them for your grow. Both are probably better than nothing but miracle gro is generally frowned up in the growing community and peeing in your tent is just a bad idea. Lol.
Filling out that support ticket and posting some pics will provide all the info we need to help you with issues. But without seeing that I’d recommend getting a cannabis friendly nutrient line if your going to supplement what you’re using now.

Fish shit or worm castings will give a fast N boost. If that is the issue. Pictures truly help.

I don’t think he was referred to the MG soil here. Possibly the actual fertilizer? It’s water soluble If so I’ve used their version of veg and flower with very high success. For your plants safety use a bit under the indoor recommendations. It will give your plants a quick boost.

Are there holes in that pot?
Yes it drains from bottom, i thought maybe overwatering too so i stopped but it didnt get better
Now im thinking nutrientburn. Im going to submit support ticket
It looks to me like she’s alright, it’s normal for the oldest leaves to die off with age the other leaves look alright. Let the soil dry out pretty good between waterings no food for a couple more weeks yet. It appears that the new growth is green and healthy.
