Anyone experienced with these lines and have some info on use and results? Switched a table mid flower from AN(i know it's crap, was trying to use up what i had) to mega crop with good results in spite of problems from an. Second pic is a couple weeks of mega switched after a couple weeks ofof botanica kind (been having mid cycle chlorosis and ph drop with kind). Have some Jack's professional and veg+bloom on the way to try on different tables start to finish but was hoping someone could give advice on how it works for them and any problems that showed up with the different nutrients lines.

Here's a couple pic of 2 tables running botanicare kind suffering mid flower (wk5)chlorosis beginning upper mid fan leaves with purpling of stem and ph drop with cont ec drop. Start ec1.7 and ph5.8... end ec1.4 and ph 5.2 at res change this week... Anyone have any suggestions about apparent deficiency?

I’ve used jacks and veg+bloom tap/hard water version. I switched to megacrop a bit ago and haven’t looked back. I’ve ran them in my hydro and soil room they all work well. I prefer megacrop as it’s slighty less expensive and has everything I need plus some over the other two.

I never run run any of them past 800 ppm never ran into any issues. In hydro I keep my ph at 6.0 an let it drift up. My ph stays stable forever though mainly due to my well water.

MegaCrop, Jacks, VitaGrow are all good nutrients and will grow just as good of weed as any expensive designer nutrient with a fancy label and a dozen bottles of additives. Good grows don't come out of a bottle. Good grows come from experience, environment, and genetics.

Have some pk boosters on hand with mega crop. A lot of people are seeing deficiencies related to p and k. Other than that its the best veg nutrient ive ever used.

See in flower or in veg I’ve never ran into issue but every grow and grow room is different. I never use boosters though of any kind. The only thing I run with megacrop is great white.

What is your wells ec and ph? And-Or which factor are using for ppm conversion? Is the 800ppm in addition to your starting water ppm or is it total ppm in res? Thanks for the input man, I'm really liking mega over kind and fvck a.n. they were total shit in my room...

What was your experience running the different lines? Which worked best in your room and how were you growing?

My well water is 200ppm and 7.0ph and yes it’s 800 with the well wate. I forget the conversion whatever blue labs truncheon is as that’s all I use anymore.

Here's a couple pics of buds just harvested a couple hours ago today that had been switched to mega from AN mid flower. First pic is my own strain cherry pie I've been growing for 4-5 yr, second and third pic is golden goat before and after trim, fourth pici s my own bubba kush I've been growing for about 8yr.... Overall they seem to have better density and less larf than the table i harvested last week of botanicare kind. Oh yeah almost forgot the mega is at 10wk and kind wasn't done till 11-12wk so quicker turnaround too it seems

Right on thanks for the info, love my combo meter and truncheon blue lab rocks! i noticed they certainly don't seem to need as high of an ec as kind runs... Running 1.3 with mega per feeding chart (215g per 40 gallon) and have tried ranges from 1.5-2.2 with kind trying to dial it in (unsuccessfully it appears)

A little of megacrop does seem to go a long way. I love my truncheon had it for a few year no issues. Honestly I probably could push it some more but I follow the less is more mentality.

Have you used it in flower?

No but there are many on here who use Mega crop who have p and k deficiencies. Led growers have had calcium and magnesium deficiencies as well.Go through the entire thread and youll find it.

If not what line are you using and why?

I just finished a canna coco run. Switching to Mega crop because its a better costwise for me.

What ec do you run in veg?

My mimosas are fine at the 2 gram mark (.55 EC). They are dark green and if I push more ill be close to toxicity. These bitches arent heavy feeders. They are about one month in veg. Let me know if you notice a blueish green on some of the leaves when using MC.

Thanks for the info I'll keep an eye out for blue -green tint and pk deficiency this cycle. Is the darker tint from the higher N in the mega? What are your thoughts on using hydroplex for pk boost with less mega during flower to reduce N and increase p&k? How much would you reduce the base and do you think they will play nice with each other in the res?

Like ive said ive never seen this before. Ill post about it on their thread after my other question gets answered.

I think they GLN said on the megacrop thread that you can use hydroplex. If youre using Mega crop use it until your leaves are a nice green into flower (not dark green) and add a separate bloom booster.

You dont need to reduce unless you see burnt tips or the N toxicity in flower. Like I said, I think GLN said you can use anything with mega crop but I would check their thread just to be sure.
