If you mean for weed and assuming your growing in soil then Tomorite

Bright red bottle, cant go wrong ..

No need to PM ya good buddy, I'll happily share my ignorance in public!
I used to use Miracle-Gro for a few years. It was totally shite. I've never seen nute burn like that. You could actually still see the wee blue particles floating around in the water.
I used to steal some of my old mans tomorite as well, I thought it was OK, but probably not the best for the job. I've used a few other tomota plant type feeds, and they didn't kill my plants.
I've used Chempak Orchid + Cactus feeds as well, they are shit. (Unless your growing orchids or cacti).
Am I allowed to say that the best one i've used is bio biz? I know that this isn't the organic bit or nothin' but I think they sell it in wee bottles now, about half a litre for a fiver. 0.5l of Bloom + Grow for about a tenner or so is sound.
If a tenners a bit steep, then I can't think of anything better than one of those tomato plant type nutes.

just a quick question to add to this, is this for flowering, vegging or both? in pretty much the same situation myself but was under the impression that you needed a different type of feed for the flowering process, higher in pottasium, less in nitrogen?? could be talking

cos im new to this.

Chempack comes in all different flavours, i.e chempack no2 is high nitrogen for early growth 25+15+15 and works very well ,chempack no8 works well in flower 12.5+25+25 and at £3.00 for a box that will last for ages,i use it at less than the reccomended dose because i use calcified seeweed,lime,potash and a bit of fish,blood and bone in my base mix,if your compost has lime and seeweed in it from the start you don't need a boost in veg,i.e no need for chempack no2,when my plants are in flower they get a good dose of no8 every third feed and have had no probs to date, only tip burn when i am pushing them buds.

I used miracle-gro for two grows. Sounds like the miracle was that I didn't kill 'em!
I used to dilute it a lot - probably 1/2 of what it said on the side of the pack but although I never killed anything they did burn a fair bit. So tomorite's ok then, is it?
Looking through my cupboard I've got Miracle Gro, Phostrogen (14-10-27) and something called SuperPhosphate, which looks like it could probably kill my entire garden with one look. Are any of these going to be any use? I'm quite a fan of tomorite (surprise surprise) and of course Maxicrop, which I've put on with almost every watering in the past.
