Yeah it's basically like salting the earth, kills roots, also i guess you can "lock out" other nutrients or something? But tbh that's been too much nerd shit to matter for my plants, they're like omnomnom gimme nitrogen

I'm also watering them like every damn day because the tomatoes at least slurp up the all the water in the pots they're in. Surprisingly nothing has had apparent root problems despite all this plus me entirely forgetting to put a layer of rocks/garden fabric at the bottom to stop them from clogging the drains

But yeah basically at this point (the tomatoes being as tall as a man) i dump 2 teaspoons of miracle grow on top of the soil and then just hose it down until the pot is so saturated water runs out of the bottom and it works great. I'd have so many tomatoes if they didn't get spider mites that this stupid fucking spider mite spray is absolutely not killing

If I skip it for too long i see a noticeable decline in vegetative growth + yellowing of what there is so im gonna keep doing it

P.s. part of why im watering daily is also it's usually over 90 degrees outside n they be thirsty
