That's a very small amount I mix up 220litres at a time. So I store my mega crop in to bin bags in a bucket with a lid

Had conversation with Greenleaf via mail and they said nothing in their formula reacts with either Pool Shock (calcium hypochlorite) or H2O2. I'm going to give MC a try because I'm running out of Dyna Gro. I'll probably still going to add a potassium silicate product to stabilize pH.
The price/shipping was the tipping point, I would still stick with Dyna Gro if I was able to order it locally.

Dont do that cause calcium sulfate
Then everything is fuck my moms where not happy lol
Can you clarify what you're saying not to do here please? I'm curious.
See - this is so silly. Not of you to do; but of it being 'required' (desired). It's testament to the reason they're coming out with a two part. Now you have to figure what ratio to weigh them out at, it's just silly. (And by the way, I went through the same thoughts, as many other who've used MC have).
Exactly the same situation and reasoning. Though it's gonna be hard to return to MC after what I see from Jacks.
Where's "here" - vaguely, if you can say. USA, CAN, UK?
For dry there's, Megacrop, Jacks, Veg Bloom, GH maxi line, Crop Salts, Flora Flex (though I can't recommend any but MC, Jacks or GH maxi from 'experience')
Here's one "line of reasoning" why I've heard people want to separate. You get a spoon and scoop out one 15-20gr of MC. If you did that ten times and laid each scoop out to examine the contents, you'd probably find that some scoops have 20-30 balls of 'x' fert/input, and other scoops have maybe '5-10' balls of 'x'. It's not homogenous and this is going to affect the ratio of elements to each other. This might not be as big a deal if you regularly mix 30, 40, 50+ gallons. But when you mix smaller amounts, it's more pronounced, right?
Every scoop is somewhat different. Swirl a jar of powdered MC, look how the parts separate. How do you shake it to evenly distribute everything?
That said, yup - just weigh it up and mix it in. Best you can do unless you want to sort it and try and ask GLN what ratio to mix balls to powder, lol, or grind it all up nice and fine (which I'd recommend over 'sorting' it.)
1g powder + .55g balls. Having used Flora Trio and Maxi series, not really a hassle.

Mixing a concentrated solution of MC will cause precipitations. Calcium react with sulphates.

Ive been mixing 2-4% stock solutions of mc and had zero issues.

What's with all the hassle just mix it up and dump it in your res ??
Stop making it harder than it needs to be
If you want more control move products and stop bitxhing and moaning.its a great price and if fucking works great
I feed the same to flower clones and veg zero issues once I add a bit of Epsom salts
Chill the beans and stop moaning have a wank, smoke a joint or finger your bum do what you need to do and shut up moaning

I just go with the ratio in the scoop I take.
Willy nilly.
Total disregard for proportions.
Ditto
I weight and measure ppm it's pretty dam close all the time... Just habits
Man, that's excellent that some or many people can or do just use the product as is, and even with apparently no regard to proportions and have "results" or no complaints. But some people do not have these same results, because there are so many variables not mentioned with the philosophy of "I scupe sum into ma' warter and it's good". Or, they just want (or need) more control over at least some ratio or another.
Why complain that others should not make requests about, suggestions for, or criticize (or complain) an aspect of a product. Often, these companies use the feedback from users, whether they say it or not? This particular company has already said they're coming out with a two-part now...(or changing to a two part, iirc).

Oh. GLN doesn't give any warnings about mixing stock solutions that I've seen. It's been asked a lot at one of their threads on a different forum. The only things I've read about so far is that brown sediment, which doesn't seem harmful but is unsightly and could maybe clog small orifices.

There's not a problem making a stock solution that you directly mix into your nutrient solution. But you can't store it for a any lengthy period of time in a concentrated liquid form. There's probably a threshold where you don't see precipitations regarding ratios.
