IME, Lower is better when it comes to miracle grow products! That 24-8-16 seems a bit hot. If i remember right they use some time released nutes that when applied frequently can end up burning the plants.

I have used several(scott's,peter's,shultz) of that type fertilizers in a pinch. Just have to use smaller servings then recommended and use less frequently.

IMO also, if a person is going to go through the effort of growing then a person should do so when they can afford to do it right. Proper soils, nutrients and lights can at least maximize your effort and be worth while. But since you have this one going, play with the miracle grow, just remember what people have told you. And since it is pretty much winter, why not start composting your greens and scraps from the dinner table. When you can afford, buy some decent peat or organic compost to mix with your scraps. Follow the normal routine of aerating and mixing the pile and by next grow you will have some nice nutrient rich compost to add to your soils. Just a thought.

And don't get so pissy with people's comments brah! Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Miracle grow is just one of them thing most newb's do when they are learning. And most people know it is pretty harsh stuff, so they are a little on the offensive when it comes to chemical nutes. Organics are just more forgiving and seem to be more excepted by your plants roots. You'll learn, stick around!
