Fertilizer like Miracle Grow works well for awhile for small plants, but does not contain magnesium or calcium I have discovered after seeing problems with my plants growth. I later possibly figured out why they dont add it after mixing Calcium Nitrate with Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) in my garden sprayer to add these missing nutrients. It seems that the two chemicals if mixed together at the same time bind and turn into a nice gypsum mud and clog up sprayers. Now I mix them separately in two different containers until fully dissolved, then mix the two solutions together. This way they dont turn into mud lol. I have read that Potash contains a lot of chlorine that can kill soil organisms, but probably a lot of fertilizers use potash, including miracle grow.
