Latest mix:

2 ml/l "Green Planet" Micro (it's similar to GH micro but cheaper and has about 15% more calcium)
.7 ml/l Mega Crop A

I keep trying to find other alternatives so I don't have to use this nasty, stinky, dusty stuff but I keep coming back because the girls love it so much. I can't find any flaw or deficiency when I use this fert and the final result is always excellent, both in size and in quality. I have a feeling that I am going to be keeping this stuff around for a while.

btw, If you are in Canada, AquaTerra, who has posted just above, has really good deals on MegaCrop A . And no, I have no affiliation with his shop.

Jumping on the MC train with my latest grow. Phat Gary and Yaass Bitch in Promix. Going to use just MC and Sweet Candy in bloom. Fox Farm trio has burned my plants every time (probably because I'm an idiot)

It's a good fertilizer, just go easy on the EC. I've never needed to go over 1.2 EC with megacrop.

You didn't like it for flower? Seems to have good feedback.

I just use the 1part MC and ph down. I’ve tried just about everything out there over the yrs and found that adding carbs is worthless.
i really don’t care so much for a few of the things that are in MC but it doesn’t hurt and i’m not really paying extra for those things, they’re just in there.

I got an email from them saying that they are changing the formula for the 2-part and that it will be out by the end of May. Hopefully somebody can post some info on it when the time comes. I'm wary because I like it the way that it is currently.

Not me I liked the original
The latest formula is identical to peters/jacks
First I’ve heard of the next change
Any details?

Oh, I must have skipped that version. The one that I have is the stinky one, not at all like Jack's other than the 5-12-26 similarity. Maybe they'll go back to it??? I already have some Jack's so I don't need any more.

hi guys :D Yes, its true, we are updating the Part A formula upcoming, should be available late May. It will still be compatible with 5-12-26 formula, but we improved it a bit to be focused more for cannabis with the NPKs, also increased solubility (for those super high injector concentrate systems), and are adding in our top of the line Seaweed Extract at a heafty 2% content as well for organic/natural hormone benefits. Also increased pH stability. This is kind of our answer to Athena and Advanced Nutrients Pro line which seem to be really popular lately. The PK ratio optimized for Cannabis as well

Why make a dirty mix even more dirty with kelp? I don't understand the reasoning. You want to cut out high K foods in the late stages of flower but I guess it's impossible now with your new formula?

Why can Jacks make 5-12-26 pH stable while you guys cannot? Disappointed by the changes tbh, fixing the problem by adding more buffers instead of finding out the main problems what's causing pH swings from the first place and higher N is not improvements in my book.

I don't understand what you mean by "dirty"


Flowering plants use high K, and you can simply just feed less if you want to lower it.

Every single feeding mix I do with your 5-12-26 product contains cellulase in the bottom of the reservoir. That's what I mean by dirty, your product contains inert bulking agents.

Mixing Calcinit, clear as day in one bucket. Do the same with 5-12-26 and it's all cloudy and when it's settles you have to suck up the cellulase in the bottom of the bucket. That's from leaving the solutions in separate buckets for 24h before final mixing, it's still a problem you seem to ignore.

I have great results with your product 5-12-26 but I would wish for you to be more transparent with your ingredients, known problems and inert inputs in your products.

ok, I see, that makes sense. There aren't inert ingredients, that is the amino-acids that cloud up and maybe settle down a bit. We are improving that in the updated released, reducing the amount of amino's so there shouldn't be any issues like that. So we were aware of it, and not ignoring it. For normal feeding it works fine, but for concentrated injector feeding systems, it can potentially lead to clogging filters quicker than usual. So this shouldn't be an issue in the new formula

Not sure what's different... I bought my 2 part a while ago and see nothing but slightly darker color compared to plain RO water.

the new one won't be released until probably late May. We are redesigning the bags too, so it was a little time consuming.

I still don't understand why you would willingly put organic inputs in a hydroponic plant food? Added bulk? Separately it makes way more sense, to let the user choose what to do.

I guess you sell more part A with the new formula and ratios? You have to use more of it to achieve the same nutrient ratios as classical and proven 3-2-1 with 5-12-26, 15-0-0 and Epsom salt.

Any chance you will release a clean version without all the dirty organics?
