one of my plants are starting to look a little droopy, im pretty sure its due to lack of water...so what do you think about the spikes??

Well I've never used MG spikes before.... but have used MG all purpose feed in some of my first grows.... Dangerous stuff that is! You must use MG products carefully/ sparingly or you'll really put a hurtin on the plants!

those plant spikes are mostly for trees and perennials (plants that will live longer than 1 season). it might be hard to regulate the rest of your nutes if there is a time released MG spike feeding them.

Yes Hydrohustle Knowledge IS power..........

As for those spikes...... Personally I would NOT use them on anything indoor. However I would not be apposed to trying one on an outside plant. Although if I were to use them on an outside plant I would make sure the plant is planted in the earth not in a bucket of dirt. They dispers into the area around them and down into the root structure and not at the top where you would see it and DO NOT use any other ferts if you do use it. Those are high in Nitrogen and last for a long time. I think you are only supposed to use them like once a year, i didn't read the website or anything but I have picked up the box at walmart in the past out of curiousity. Oh, and I stayed at a Holiday inn express last night too.....
