Great video Khang. I've been using the Miricle Grow for a few years to grow my plants indoor before transplanting them outdoor. It works great and the shelf live is amazing.
another great video Khang! thanks for taking the time to show you don't have to break the bank to feed your plants.
Thanks so much for this video. I wondered why my organic solution would start growing mold after a few days! I'm glad you mentioned it going bad if kept mixed in the bottle.
Just mix smaller amount
So use up faster or keep refrigerated so has longer shelf life
If you want to see something startling then do a test on seed starting mixes. I did a test starting tomato seeds from miracle grow and jiffy. The jiffy seedlings were twice as big and beautiful as the ones grown in miracle grow starting mix.
I also prefer jiffy starting mix. I find that it tends to be less susceptible to mold and fungus. Also works great for wheatgrass, chives or microgreens.
Good experiment, proper empirical science.
The Covid Dr likes his chillies!
Check out this guys channels folks!!
Great video my friend! Thanks so much for taking the time to do the dirty work for us :)
Good experiment. Now and days I worry a bit less and usually mix up 1/4 strength MG or expert gardener with some Epsom salt and calcium nitrate. May try garden lime later as a 100% big box store experiment
Miracle gro turned out to be a bit much for my brandywine seedlings so switched to fish hydrolysate which works better and plants look great.
If only my peppers would look half as good as yours I would be so happy.
Hi Khang
Would have been good to have had a fourth plant fed with just water
Cheers
Yes yes yes!
I'm going to do this myself next year.
@@8686joedog this year. Why wait. Go indo! Lol
Label it "dead!"
Seeing the plants obviously used up all the nutrients from soil plain water would of def not faired well
Miracle Grow normally has a NPK of 24-8-16, of course it will produce lusher green leaves, thats what its designed to but it wont work for flowering where the dyna grow is able to be used during the flowering periods as well. If you are going to do a test, choose products with similar NPK's so people know what works best for vegetative and what works best for flowering / fruiting.
Then switch to a more flower friendly Miracle Gro. They make multiple formulas.
so informative, i will do the same experiment. I also agree with the organic ferts, i have one that is called Green Zymo and it smells after 1 day if you leave some in a bottle.
this is an amazing tip, i have been asking myself this since i have about 3 organic and chemical fertilizers and then plan to order a hyrdroponic solution.
i will do the same experiment today, thanks a lot!!! I am a huge fan, i watch your channel almost everyday, over and over... just so i won't forget what you said. :)
How did it go
More of these comparison type videos please!
The miracle grow was overly fed, it could use much less as the plant is poisoned with too much green. You can see the Dyna grow and the natures care has a luster on the leaf that shows vibrant health. Very cool experiment!!
Miracle Grow makes bluish green water.
I just got Miracle Grow as I've had a lot of success with it in the past. I've never used it for hydroponic applications, however, so I'll be interested to see how it works long term. In the short term, it helped bring back a celery plant I thought was dead. I cut back all the dead material, leaving only a little green sprout, and put it in a solution of Miracle Grow and water. Within three days it perked up and is now looking healthy again.
I also wanted to try the Dyna-gro and will have it in a couple of days. Have ordered the small size for experimentation purposes.
Interesting. I'm new to this and what I have seen is a lot of snake oil in the gardening industry. If you see any organic hydroponic nutrients with no odor please let me know. I tend to stay away from MG products due to the whole Monsanto thing.
Good info on the various nutrients comparison Khang, peppers are looking great, happy gardening my friend.
Tony from a very cold and wet Scotland lol.
I definitely like your bottom feeding Technic 😀 going to be borrowing that 👍 GROWERS LOVE. ☕🌱🌱💚🙏💯
The tomato feed probably has extra magnesium bc it's so green!
It does have extra magnesium in it but one ingredient it doesn't have is calcium and I know Pepper's need some calcium but tomatoes need a ton of calcium but I just learned that the other day because my tomato plant is suffering from Calcium deficiency and this is what I use as a nutrient solution it works extremely well on all my other plants though
Regular fertilizers usually lack Ca, S, Cl and contain only a few Mg. I guess this is where things went expensive. But $20 vs $2? Dude that's way over priced lol. Ca, S and Cl are in the tap water. Mg might be the only thing that's insufficient, but hey I can easily buy some epsom salt to crank Ca: Mg ratio to 2:1 and fill in some holes in S deficiency at the same time... Thanks for this great experiment!
I used the Miracle grow but mines says 1 Teaspoon per Gallon of water for In door Plants. For Outdoor it’s more Nutrients to the water. I will see what works best. I do not have the lights, Do I really need the lights
How do you plan to grow plants without light?
Hi Khang, I'm a huge fan of your videos! Just a small suggestion, perhaps it would valuable to have a control plant? One with no nutes, so we can see the difference. Keep up the amazing work, I've learnt so much from you, thank you!
Hello Khang, since you're going to plant them into soil, would it be possible to see how and what effects there are in the long term for using these three different nutrients? Just as you said that the Regular Miracle Gro's plant leaves are darker green than the other two. Is it possible to ask you to grow them out using these same plants and their respective nutrients? To see if there are any differences in taste, shape of the peppers, and the yield of peppers?
I like this idea, I hope he does this!
Yeah, I like this idea too. Will be very interesting to see the results!
I was thinking the same thing. I would love to see how they end up doing.
Good idea because if plant is strongly green it means get a lot of N but for flowers needs more P and K so it is really good idea !!!!
Thank you very much.

Greetings from Oakland, Ca 💀 I've learned a lot from your channel throughout the years. Thank you.
Early start this season and I have 45 pepper plants outside already. I took a new approach this season with Nutrients and have been experimenting with Korean Natural Gardening. My plants are loving it. Ive made a few IMO's, Calcium (WCA), Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) and some OHN. Beyond affordable and super simple. Chris Trump would be a good place to start on youtube.
Your plants look very healthy! My new seedlings are turning yellow and dying, it's cool to see those dark leaves.
Can’t wait to grow my Basil with that!
I have never had roots come out of the bottom of the double cup. I've gotta try something different. The root system seems to be the last thing to grow on mine.
Love this experiment and I just happen to the miracle grow which I will try with my tomato seedlings.
Thanks for saving us from doing the experiments. Informative video.
Great video, as always. Extremely informative.
I'm just making sure, for hydroponic food Miracle Gro is safe, right? (BTW, the big tbsp is 1.5 already, and the little tsp is .5, it says, and the smaller tsp is for indoor use, ie - it lasts longer before evaporation, saturating the container, and you breathe it in.) It obviously nourishes the plant so it will grow, but we're eating these chemicals in the plant. (And Kratky likes 3-4cm of air on the roots.) The stones on the bottom is smart, though!
Hi Khang, I realize this is an old video, but what is the medium mix you use in the double solo cup? I’ve looked around your site and can’t find one with explanation. Just got a grow tent & so excited to start new projects over the winter here in NTx. Love your videos and especially recycling products to garden 🌱🤓
I've been curious about this. Thanks!
Nice experiment Khang.
Thanks for sharing
Great experiment! Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you for posting take care stay safe keep up the great work.
I was just thinking, since the NPK is so high on the Miracle Grow, you could about half the recommended amount of nutrient and end up with a similar NPK number to the other two. That makes the Miracle grow an even better bargain!
Klaus
Yea if you really want to put that garbage in shit you eat.
GifCo - Are you saying that there's something more than Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorous in MG?
Captain Ron Hi captain. I wasn’t saying that but it’s true, Miracle Grow does have trace nutrients as well. I just meant it had more NPK than the others so you could use a more diluted solution.
klausy1000 - Yes, I understood exactly what you meant but my comment was directed to GifCo. I'm quite aware of the trace nutrients (aka "active ingredients") in the product. I just wanted to see if GifCo could clarify his comment. And I thought your comment was thoughtful and reasonable. Thanks and cheers.
Captain Ron - Yes there is, and even if there was NOT the Nitrogen from MG is from liquid ammonia, that is usually only used for animal feed. MG is for flowers, if you think you can pump veggies full of this chemical garbage and have no negative side effects then I strongly urge you to use as much MG as you can, survival of the fittest and what not...
Hi Khang, do you know if hydroponic plants will grow in black tea? In an effort to get rid of algae??
Notice he is using Miracle-Gro Tomato Feed and not the classic Miracle-Gro All Purpose plant food (the blue stuff). The All Purpose plant food is not 100% water soluble and has a different NPK (24-8-16) than the Tomato Feed (18-18-21) and is water soluble. I read on a website that the classic Miracle-Gro is not the preferred type of Miracle-Gro product to use for hydroponics. So, it's best not to use the blue stuff!
Thanks for doing this experiment, I was wondering if I could use an alternative nutrient
I like these videos, they're very inspiring haha. Cheers khang
Hey man love ur videos, I just bought a bunch of stuff for my peppers would u recommend " liquid kelp" for my peppers?
Interesting experiment. I'd like to see how they do once put into soil.
Hi khang. Have you done a video showing how you transplant from the double cup? I can’t seem to find the video. If not, please show us how! Thank you!!!
thanks for sharing the video. when you grow pepper plants in the double cup method indoor, will there be bugs? i am kind of worry that when you add nutrient to the cup and will cause bugs in the cup and plant. i did that before with my flower, and it was nightmare.... makes me don't want to grow plants indoor again.
Hey Khang, I was just curious if you could suggest how often I should be watering my indoor peppers? They are in a room facing South and getting a decent amount of light.The room stays about 70 degrees. Maybe dropping to 65ish in the night. Thank you.
Need to grow indoors for longer, weather is still acting up in April and messed up my plants they don’t want to grow now..
Oh your videos are always very informative Khang Starr, keep on sharing. So can you also use MG for hydroponics together with calcium nitrate and epsom salt? ;) Thank you!
Hey Khang, have you ever used Foliage Pro from Dynagro? I haven’t tried their Grow but love their Foliage Pro, Bloom and Pro-Tekt!
Very good explanation 👍! By the way what temperature in that grow do you set to ?
I'm growing chilis in my window sill. Its been a learning process. How do I know when the plant is to big for the pot.
When you have to water daily man
Dude your videos are some awesome stuff. I like how you just show your green thumb. If you don't get it you don't get it. If you don't agree you don't agree. I think its talent man. Good job. :) edited because I typed "hood job" really... Good job! :)
Nice experiment Khang 👍🏻
I have the dyna grow foliage, was going to try it for my hydroponics, but ph is 7.21 mixed, do I have to lower the ph for this product?
Nice video bro. I thought you would end up using jobes fertilizer with one of the plants lol.
Do you water the soil in the cup at all or just water in the bottom cup?
Thank you for this video Khang 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Been using miracle gro until I get masterblend in the mail. It's okay if on a budget. Wish it had calcium in the formula.
Firstly Sir thank you and more power! Im newbie in gardening. Question, do you have a video of your solution you use for your hydroponics? Thank you in advance. Keep safe!
Hi Kang can we use miracle grow for kratky hydroponic system ?? Please reply me ..thank You
I would like to try this double cup method. It appears that you have these plants in soil to begin with. Once the roots reach through the drain holes, do you completely stop watering the soil, allowing the soil to become dry?
Try to keep the soil a little moist and not super dry. It may require a little water from top. As far as feeding from bottom, you wan to only give the plant enough so that it will take up everything in a day. Too much water from the bottom for an extended period will rot the roots.
No mention of how much Dyna-Gro you used which was what I was hoping to hear
Interesting...I'm really looking for something organic, though. Oddly, I'm not really finding many (any) videos discussing organic-nutrient options - ??
curious how often were watering with the feeding solution?
Great experiment, thanks
The MG plant was both greener and more dense.
Hi Khang Starr hey I have a question what king bloom nutrients are you using as a today ?
Which nutrients is best ( by ur experience) miracle grow, nature care, Dyna grow, Maxi grow........????
Which one would you recommend for herbs like basil?
To be fair, the hydro nutrients are available in smaller containers for around 9 dollars. Plus the nutrients are good for so much more as well
I have a question for you. I have some plants in hydroponic trays that are dark in color but open on the top. Will I be likely to get algae if I fill those with full strength nutrient solution? It's basically deep water culture. If so will adding something like iodine prevent algae? I'm currently using the Masterblend/Calcium Nitrate/Epsom Salt for fertilizer.
Brilliant!
What do you feed your pepper plants after you transplant them outside?
Mostly organic fertilizer like fish emulsion.
Khang Starr ok thank you, by the way your plants are looking great
so the double cup method doesn't prevent plants becoming root bound? how long can you keep them in doors with the double solo cup method? and how do you remove the plant without damaging roots?
So could I use this method to start and grow my plants over the winter? And then in the spring put them in soil outdoor
Yes, I do this all the time.
Great video and thank you for sharing!
What is your dino grow, and how do you make it for plants
Do you have any suggestions for how to get a good soil mix for raised garden beds? I see you have several in your back yard and I was wondering what you did to fill them.
I like to use manure and compost, and mix in some lighter organic soil. Manure and compost like Black Cow is very heavy. Using it along will cause compaction, so mix in some lighter soil will make it more fluffy and drained easily. I also make my own compost from scraps that I add to the bed to feed the plants.
Can you use boiled water after it’s cooled and then add the nutrients to it if you don’t have access to tank water or clean tap water? Cheers.
I love watching your videos..I am your subscriber form many years now. I don't think the experiment is fare enough. Can you please make comparison video of GH flora series and Dyna-gro with few different plants. These imported fertilizers are way too expensive in india I mean insanely expensive. With the cost of DG and GH flora.. I can purchase all required salts for hydroponics and make 200 liters of concentrated hydroponics nutrient with the dilution ratio of 1:400 wich will give me 80,000 liters of full strength solution. I mean I can start a hydroponics nutrient company here in India with the cost of just one bottle of 1liter Dyna-gro and GH flora series (1 liter each grow, micro and bloom)😀😂
after that in flowering stage what kind of fertilizer did you used?
I can’t find miracle grow on the shelf’s in Australia any more. Sucks because it’s great stuff.
@khang starr how long do you water from the top? How long does it take for the roots to come out of the bottom? It seems my roots never do.
Hi Khang great video. One question do you water every day with the nutrients?
First week, you can do it once every 2-3 days. After a week, they grow so fast and will drink alot more, you'll have to do it daily.
I just picked up that particular miracle grow tomato food that spoon is 1 1/2 tbs when its level full scoop great videos man I have been learning a ton from you
Hi kang, have u tried the self watering with cucumbers?
I think I’m going to buy this Miracle Grow. I noticed it in the store the other day, and the video came in perfect timing for me to decide. Thank you. Also, do you have any seeds for sale? Thanks.
after the experiment what did you transplant them in
Do you still check ph with the other fertilizers?
What is the ph of your hydroponic solution? Do you ever check the ph level before you feed your plants?.
No offense, but there's a difference between a teaspoon and tablespoon. The 2 ends of the scoop. People follow and the may burn up their plants with to much nitrogen. Or toxify the soil eventually stunting the growth.
do you really need to user does light ? or can you use sun light with control shade for excess heat or uv
Thank you so much. +1 subscriber
Would an all Purpose plant food work ? Like a 24-8-16 ?
Hey Khang,How often do you feed the plants with the solution?
Miracle grow organic version works great too
