Everything I've ever heard about anything miracle grow for ganga hasn't been good. I have always tried to stay 100% organic as a precaution and it's worked well for me. Very well could be nute burn, but as stated above many other possible issues as well. I'll be brutally honest in saying I've never ph'd my water and I have several sources. I have my aeration tank, rain barrel, hose water and I also use the water from my kids pool when the pool needs drained and they dont seem to mind any of it. That being said I'm not sure ph in the water is the culprit,but wouldn't really hurt to check either.
