YDB Heavy16 vs. Miracle Gro tomato food

[stepside]

7/27 two YDB's broke ground. 5gal airpots filled with promix bx and coast of Maine Stonington blend mixed 50/50. Been watering with well water ph'd to 6.5 with 1 ml heavy 16 roots.
This is where the experiment begins.......
I'll be feeding plant A Heavy 16 nutrients and plant B will get Miracle Gro tomato food.

More info and pics to come

Ohhh what a dastardly thing to do to a YDB.................lol! But you know, as much as we like to hate Monsanto, MG can grow nice plants, after all, minerals and elements are still just that. This should be interesting!

I cleanse the experiment room in all four corners

And call upon the blessing of the ganja gods upon your little girls!

:dragon1:May your babies prosper! This should be a fun experiment for sure as I'm wondering how the gals will hold up, they are able to handle quite a bit of abuse! Id go really crazy and not even PH the water and let's see what happens
Have fun! Looking forward to the outcome!

Thanks Yoda, sorry to abuse your hard work. I'm hoping things go well and it grows like a horse. Thanks for checking in I'm glad to have you

how are those girls doing?

They're coming along Pop. They seem like slow movers. I'll do an update tonite.

8/12 16 days old. So far it seems like these girls just don't want to go. But I suppose the conditions haven't been ideal. High temps 94+° high humidity last night %90 and a spidermite population. Other than that they seem OK.

Plant above is test subject B
She's got a little stretch going

So far they've been getting ph'd water with 1ml heavy 16 roots.
Now the feeding begins.

Yep. somethings not right. I've got 5 day plants that size... hmmm but as you say, conditions are tough. But I've seen slow starters turn out quite well, that's why I rarely toss a plant!

One thing might be they were 2" long sprouts with no helmets when I planted them and they had to grow quite a bit of root to get going. They're in 5 gallon pots
