YDB Heavy16 vs. Miracle Gro tomato food

[stepside]

Quick update... Temps hit 107° in the tent yesterday. Plants weren't happy I gave them a good feed heavy 16 on week 1 veg and miracle grow at 1 1/2 tsp per gal. About a quart each. Pics tonite.

Temps were bad yesterday a little better today not much but.... My tent is in my garage. The garage temp was 97° the tent was 107° I don't have the amperage to hook up ac so I have 3 fans going on high. The humidity has been stable at %41 I really need 3 plants to finish so I can eradicate the spidermites. Ladybugs and vacuuming nightly has kept them under control so far but I'm not sure all the ripped leaves from vacuuming is much better than the mite damage

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.

Is one cheap one expensive maybe the plants will have similar growth.

Yeah heavy 16 is quite pricey about $300 if you buy it all and miracle grow tomato food is like $6.00 for about 300 gals worth of nutes. I hope they do grow the same I'll save big money

To Bad you could not get your temps down to the mid 80's somehow. This will be interesting I have grown my fair share using MG to feed my plants back in the early to mid nineties

Without the heatwave that's going through right now my high temps average about 86° which is doable. But there's no air moving anywhere right now. It's just plain hot and sticky. I'm thinking about turning my hps to %50 just to get 2 or 3 degrees
