Megacrop

Farmer.J said:

Well I decided to see for myself what megacrop is all about. I ordered a 2500g bag and 750g pk booster from Greenleaf nutrients. When I run out of Remo I will give this a try.

Shipping costs more than the stuff I ordered, but the stuff I ordered might be able to replace Remo for a year.

Welcome to the club. The stuff is working as well for me as any other nutes I've tried and in just about all cases....better. I keep waiting for something to be wrong with it. I'm going to be doing a DE vs LED test with it. Well sort of...Same room so not completely separate. It will give me a good idea.
The new formula is shipping now as well.

Fuck I am like 2/3 the way through my 3rd or 4th full cycle grow with this stuff (80G res). I keep waiting for the bag to empty and I ordered a new one but the old one doesn't ever get done. It is like some kind of fairy tail where this shit is pancake mix or something.

So if I wanted to have a large res for my tent, could I have half the tent starting to flower and the other half halfway through flower? Or would I need separate reserviors for each group. (For autopots and blumats)

I was hoping I could have my 8x8 always on 12/12 and just add megacrop and pk booster to top up a single reservior.

Sure, but i would want different stages of feed at that point. Starting to flower = 7-800PPM (1.4-1.6EC)......full flower is like 8-1000PPM @ .50 scale or = 1.6-2.0 EC.

Could you get away with a minimum feed? Sure, I think you could do that. 800PPM for both would work well.

Farmer - I found less is more when it comes to feed during flowering so ya man 1.6EC for both would work really great.

A lot of what we grow gets turned into rosin, I have two 7gal reserviors but thought maybe with megacrop I could get away with running back single larger res. Probably will stick with two reserviors. I want to test autopots vs blumats/fabric pots.

For flowering 2 res is ideal...you up the PK in the last 5-8 weeks. That's what i'm doing now

Crazy happy veg plants.

I have a small bag, but I haven't opened it because there were no directions. (mixing directions...not how to open the bag directions) What are you mixing in a 5 gallon container.

Well my res is larger so my dose isn't relevant. But they do have a great feed calculator on their site. It will tell you the exact amount to use for each phase of your grow. You will be using a fairly small amount.

It depends. For veg growth I add 3.5 tsp and for flower I add 5 tsp to 5 gallons. For very young plants I just dilute the weak mixture more. Hope that helps.

My plants are loving it as well.

Soon to be available here.....at Hippy's

I tried mega crop today in my veg room,filled my 20liter container added 1 full tsb and my ppm went from 100 to 500 or e.c.from .2 to 1.0..I would have to use 50ml A and 50ml B (canna)to get values close to these..so it’s very strong,

It's so nice to just constantly keep a big batch of veg nutes at full strength bubbling away somewhere. Then just mix it down to whatever you might need...it's handy for houseplants too lol

Gee I hope so. I am growing 1/2 my plants in coco and the other half in HP Pro. FWIW I think the coco is winning with the Mega Crop.

I thought some one said somthing about it having to much potassium is it . I really wanted to try I just don’t know enough hopefully some one smarter will chime in .
