Megacrop

Philip-O said:

How long, and how often, have you been using the blumats + megacrop? Have you had clogging problems? I wouldn't want to have a flood here, so I can't bring mysel to put both of them together.

I know what you mean. I have had autovalves and blumats both stick open and water on the floor. Just really important to check every day. I have only been using Megacrop since the end of December

Thanks nice post dude. I think running with Bluemat carrots would be a lot cheaper too than the Autopots? They are about 54$ for the XL per pot and more if you go with the 9XL system.

For sure, blumats are way cheaper, and there are all kinds of extensions that can be added so one carrot covers a wider area. If a guy gets them dialed in perfect they work great. Just need to play around with them

I use Care Free Enzymes Fountain-Pond Protector 16 oz. 51$. One small capfull treats 100 gallons.

Hey Farmer, how do the Bluemats compare to the Autopots? Are they just as simple to use with any size reservoir?

This looks cheaper but? Powder vs water? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L7SQR6Y/

That's what I and some others on this board use. Safe, no dead plants lol, just enzymes.

Think i'll be okay in the res? Algae killer? If it kills/eats crap in the res why not kill the plants too. Or affect the nutes?
I know it's enzymes. Would they eat the beneficials in the Coco medium as well degrading the soil?
Do you still use it on your groin?

I looked at that one, and haven't tried it. I use a different product for the beneficials, I use Southern AG Biological Garden Fungacide which is 99.9% Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens. Let me know if this one is working for you though, I like the price point.

Did you try this yet Hippy? I think I had decided against it because it contained photoreceptive bacteria, and my res is covered and dark. Anyways I found with the Southern AG I don't have to change my res as often or ever actually I just keep adding fresh solution when it gets 50% low. Also I found yield was better with it than without it.

Yup I tried it and it did dick all. I think. My res are in the dark mostly as well.
Any other ideas.

I just wanted to pop in and say i love Megacrop. It is my favorite nutrient of all time so far. I have never had it work so simply and everything is green and loving it

I am using MC exclusively and some Bud Explosion in flower (autopots, handwater and bubble buckets). all working out great with the same strength

About 600 PPM at baby stage and moved it up to 1100 or so as they went into flower.

Started at 10 grams per 5 gallon bottle then 15 20 and now 22 and 5 grams of bud explosion. In each stage for every plant so far. The discolouration at the back was a plugged auto pot line causing it to dry. It is rebounding tonight !

Was it MC that plugged the line in your autopot?

It might have been MC or it might have been coco and roots. It was on the last fitting before the autovalve 10 feet from the rez. I will keep my eye on it.

so my first mixing of mc

1g per litre is my old veg feeding

i will uping to 1.4g per litre but ill feel it out

ph is a lot more stable and less swingable in the res

its not a pleasant smel but ive eaten worse pussies in my youth

i'll let you know how they are going forward. 32 days of flower

Do you run 1/2" lines w/ 1/2-1/4" tees ?
I've had megacrop plug lines every other week since I started using it with my 16 autopots and a few blumats

man, strain it before you put in res. mack concentrated batch, let sit for 20 mins, ( 2-3 actually ) and then strain it with a fine strainer or cheese cloth if its giving you problems bro/.

This stuff must be the most amazing thing ever invented for growing pot or you all wouldn't be going through this much trouble to use it, right?
