I was wrong yesterday guys. You knew it, but I didn’t realize I gave you the #’s from mixing 2gal with 2 tsp. That puts my water at about 800pm (tap water here is 150ppm) I went to feed today & realized it.. then this thread haunted me lol had to come back & confess.
Regardless of my goof up there, I still love the stuff. I went from using AN connoisseur 2part to the maxi 1 part & wont look back on those ridiculous bottles.

Lol I'm glad you bought the sales pitch, but if you got ten pounds of megacrop, let it ride hahaGeez you guys, now I'm curious....
I still have over 10 pounds of Mega Crop One Part but might have to give Maxigro/bloom a go
Likely two plants with Mega Crop and two with Maxigro !
Cheers

Do a side by side, they are both super cheap.. You get what you pay for, sometimes. Smoke it up.

I’m not sure that suggesting flushing gets anyone back on track…

Alternatively, it gives me further excuse to act retarded.
Somebody recently on here said something about "thumb up" or "thumb down" whilst wiping their ass. That was weeks ago and I still think about it alacommode.

You ever think about breathing and forget how to breathe? But it's wiping your ass. Who thinks about that type of shit?

So my tap water is 7.3 - 7.7, and with 5g/gal of Maxi it ended up at 6.3! EC 0.7, or 370ppm.

I’m getting 6.3Ph with just straight tap water and maxi lol, lucky! Only thing I noticed was that 5g/gal set me at 370. So obviously I need to up the ppm accordingly.

Why do you need to up the ppm's?
My last couple of grows I have only used 1/2 tsp. per gallon and never had an issue.

pH seems normal, but your EC measurement is wonky
5g/G of Maxi should be ~ 1.3 EC using RO water

I've tested my per gram maxi PPM a few times and it's always ~105ppm (~.2EC) per gram. I did it last night again and got that same count. I looked at the MaxiBloom feed chart on the GH website and looking at their EC/PPM ranges that matches with what they're saying.
For instance, on the 'light' schedule, they say 4.5g Maxibloom + 2ml Ca/Mg nets them a range that's 700-850PPM (1.4-1.7EC).
When I do a gallon of water I get: 330ppm (500 scale) for my water; which is comparatively high right now due to season and our well... Then the Ca/Mg is ~62ppm per mg x2, plus 4g of MB at 105ppm. So 330+124+420= 874ppm (1.748EC) which seems to validate their math too.
So...
(Quick edit that Billy the Mountain's calc at 130ppm for maxi is probably reasonable too. When I measured last night there may have been a grain or two that wasn't fully dissolved, but definitely in that ~25ppm plus or minus area.

For an old guy , traditional hempys , tap water & Maxi series . 4-5gal bucket , water once a day & grow from fussy haze / equatorials to puro indicas that eat like hogs .

I'm not disputing your numbers but they are 33% lower than what I consistently measure
For shits and grins, I just checked my Com-80 meter with 1 EC calibration fluid, weighed out 5g of maxibloom and added it to 1 gal
of RO water.
The EC was 1.34
This has been consistent for years.

That's where I settled at myself with MaxiBloom. I don't know why they say 1-2 tsp. That was too much for my plants at 1 tsp. I go by the plants not some number.
