greenleaf megacrop

I bought a bag of Megacrop and Sweet Candy to try out this run. I was going to grab the Bud Explosion too but they were out.
I still have some Liquid KoolBloom and Dry KoolBloom left from my last grows.
I was thinking of adding in Liquid KoolBloom (0-10-10) at week 2 of flower but not sure how many ml of KB to use per gallon.
I know with the 3 part GH Flora...I would use 1ml on week 2...then 2ml per gallon each week after that.
Anybody got any advice for me on this?
(Peat based grow with RO water)
Thanks

I'd say no it fine except for some folks seem to get mold. That's the only reason not to imo.

I’m wanting to try mc and was wondering about the ph. Do you still ph your water if needed and I use big bud as a bloom booster with well water is that a problem. I’m open to others too if you can recommend. Thanks

Yes to your question about PH always unless you get rely lucky. I am currently using the old formula and i do add a PK to mine. I have herd other's say there is plenty of PK in the new formula. You can always try it and maybe to start use half as much as you might normally add and back off if it starts to burn a little. I am happy with the product so far. Was able to do away with a bunch of messy liquids. When i contacted MC they said it was not necessary to flush the product. I used to flush once a week i have eliminated that but i still flush toward the end. Hopefully someone using the new formula can chime in about the PK booster.

Flushing and boosting, both often (always) debated. Lol

The last few weeks, I'm tapering down on the MC dosage, to drop N and PPM....at the same time taper up on boost.

Exactly my thoughts. That is why i use the supplements so i can start droping the N level. Are you flushing at any point @TintEastwood

Yes I get some PH fluctuation. I adjust it each day. I check it before watering and add some PH up or down. Not big deal imo.

I might do a 50/50 split this time to compare flushed .vs. non-flushed.

Big picture. In my mind it's a nutrient weaning process, that can include many different approaches. Some more radical than others.

I think my epsom ppm are off. Sulfer is only 34ppm? Not sure where i got 103.

DTW Coco cocktails.

Week 9. Operation, chop the N. Uncharted territory, learning by...experience.
Less MC to lower N.
More boost to raise PK.

Don't try this at home.



What about these levels? Too hot?

Those charts are awesome. Did you make the spreadsheet yourself or can it be downloaded somewhere?
I was trying to figure Liquid KoolBloom into my feed with MC/SC for the early parts of flower without overdoing it.

Its a simple spreadsheet I created. Spent more time making it look pretty than doing anything technical.
Pulling together the element ppm breakdowns was the biggest hassle.

D55 of my lil 3.5x3.5

Down to my last week or so left of the old formulation had a good enough run last grow.

Had some mag deficiencies in coco nothing some epsom salts wouldn't fix and the leaves were pretty dark green to the end i think it was kinda nitrogen heavy.

Ordered my first bag of the new stuff should be here in a few days and I'm hoping the new formulation will fix the issues i had.

I started to add some Calimagic and a previous calmag I had. Seems to have helped the end TOO dark green issue better. Anyway I'm pretty happy and getting great flowers. Yahoo Mega Crop! Giddy Up.
The stuff is way smarter than I am.....I think it's the crystals. Cause it doesn't have a battery.

Week 10 on Mega Crop. Experimental.

Veggin @ 4grams + 1gr epsom.

They look pretty much done...nice job....they look yummy

Good info here. I may be forced to go back to coco here soon due to grow room issues with soil and will give the new formula with sweet candy for my first run in almost 10 years using coco a try. Anyone using this in blumat lines? I do not want to go back to the constant watering of a big garden again so going to run blumats or go cheaper drip I just don't ant to rely on electricity though..

I'm not using drippers yet but I read somewhere that there were a couple growers having issues with blumats plugging and even the reservoirs getting buildups. But then some people weren't having rez issues....so maybe had something to do with their mixing procedures...or maybe even their starting water.
