I do ebb and flow, and I use 5'' baskets with only hydro-corn (porous clay pellets). I use lake water, but before discovering that worked great I used RO. I only add calmag (and it is whatever bottle I have on hand) when I need to when my source water is a bit low in it. And I only add a slight amount, but I do because I grow under high intensity white LEDs, otherwise I probably would not. I have been adding 0-50-30 PK from week 3-5 on-wards depending on the strain, but I dial back the MC to only 4-4.5 grams/G when I do. And the PK I add is from Home Grown Hydroponics (dutch nutrient), I only add 1/2 the recommended dose.

Bottom line is I'm sure the stuff works fine on it's own but every situation is different and the PK can add a bit of weight, but I haven't tried it on its own. Other people do though.

Ya I'm in coco and it's nice to see MC works in many setups it seems. Wonder how it does in promix?

I almost getting plants that were fully MC raised. A few more weeks and they will all be grown with MC. My veg raised MC plants seem to be better when they are moved into flower than one's raised on my last nutes.

Do you use the greenleaf nutrients mix chart for your promix?

I been using the ppm chart slightly adjusted.. 200 ppl seedlings 350-400 young plants clones or established roots are getting 550-600... in flower I’m going up too 850... when they was getting too green in veg I just fed water and recharge

Ya same for me...veg was good. But definitely better on the MC. I use nothing but MC in veg and the results are great for me. I'm still using the old stuff mixed with some new stuff in veg. Then in flower the new version by itself.

Reading this thread has got me convinced to try this on my first legal grow ever. Cheaper for me to buy on amazon with my prime than order direct, shipping out west is $35 direct or free on amazon. Not by much but hey five bucks is five bucks :-P

What you ussing in flower did you say? 4.5?

I always try and let the plants tell me via the reservoir how much is right. But when you run 4 strains on the same res, that is difficult so I aim a bit lower than higher. With the added PK in flower I dial the MC back to 4-4.5 and let the plants/reservoir tell me what works. But that is roughly correct. I can't speak for the amount of GL PK to use since I use some store bought stuff. I use about 50% of the recommended dose of the store bought stuff.

I use 5.5g in flower for the first 4 weeks. I try to vary each res fill a little. A fill only goes about 4 days so they get a small variance then. By 5% sorta thing. Not getting any tip burn so it seems fine for multi strain use.

The stuff seems so seriously forgiving. Only place I've had a issue is with a few new little one i may have overdosed. But they came back so not really sure.
