New Grower in the Northeast needing advice on Outdoor Strains

Ya hopefully I got a bunch of preflowers and pistols everywhere just no nugs I heard like you said August in our area is when they should start to blossom also is miracle grow ok to use I know it’s a noob move but I’m a noob to growing this type of plant I only use about 2 large dunking doughnuts cups of it on it about once or twice a month just want to make sure it’s not hurting it so far like I said they seem very healthy with a some yellow or dead leaves on the very bottom the first 6 inches from the base on ground of the big 7 foot tall plants but nothing crazy or something I’m really worried about I just keep I eye on it but everywhere else it’s green perky and healthy looking with all the rain we had in July they just grew monstrous fast this month haven’t needed to really water them but the ones I got in buckets

If your plants are healthy keep going but Miracle Grow is a no no with cannabis because it is a slow release fertilizer. Are you growing in Miracle Grow soil or using a MG Nute? I use General Hydroponics Flora Line for my indoor grows and have been using Roots Organic Uprising Grow and Bloom for my outdoor plants.

I started them in pots with just potting soil and whatever fertilizer it has in it then once they got to a good size I moved them all outside in a garden with not above ground so it’s natural dirt and just threw a little more potting soil in the hole to fill around it then covered it with the rest and loom from the garden they’re getting big and strong with 2 about 7 feet tall and the others about 4 and going good started them at different times that’s why the size comparison is different. Between the other 3 so basically what you’re implying is that a get a fast release fertilizer instead because so far all I’ve been doing is just watering them and once or 2 times a month a little miracle grow I dont go crazy with it and have so of my compost over the top to prevent weeds from growing and also giving some nutrients from that both other then that it’s just been all natural so far so can you get this at home depot like what ahoujd I buy instead I just used that because that’s what I also use on many tomato plants only been growing pot about 1 year now but everything is outside including some I got in those big orange home depot buckets

I would say get nutrients better suited for cannabis. I’m not sure of anyone using MG as they are time released.

Do you cover your plants at all I heard you want about 12 hours of darkness atleast during the flower stage to produce the buds because they start to grow in the dark or na and just let the natural outdoor cycle of the sun do it’s thing

I don’t cover. I let nature take it’s course.
