That sucks. I use it with my well water once I set the ph it stays close for a while. My well water is around 200 ppm as well. What sort of hydro were you doing? Mine is a 55 gal res connected to 27 gal tubs.
Bummer it didnt work for you. I have small pH fluctuation up, but it is welcomed since I can pH down to 5.7 or so and it will creep up to 6.2 or so over the next week or more. When it was time to top off the res (tap water @ 110 ppm/6.8ish pH) , I just pH it back to 5.7 and repeat. How much is it fluctuating in what amount of time? Slight pH fluctuations in target zones is good for nutrient uptake for both micro and macros.
I believe the 22lb has been on sale for 55. I guess the $82 is the normal price. Still seems cheap considering how long a 22lb bag will last a home grower. If you do buy a big bag you will need to store it in moisture proof container.
I bought a 22lb bag in Oct. works well imo. Yeah still a good price, thanks!
IIRC I believe GLN mentioned that in the new formula, the clumping should be greatly reduced. Still 100% correct on needing to store it in something moisture proof though.
I had the big bag stored in a 5 Gal container out in the garage during the winter. When i opened it moisture was not a issue but it seemed like the powder and the little balls were more separated looking. While think it is ok i try to get half and half ( powder & balls roughly) when weighing. The 5.5lb (2500gr) $ 30 will last a home grower a pretty long time and you don"t have to concern with storage as much.
Mr. Red, I have a new 5.5 lb bag i ordered recently. Have you herd of any other changes in the new formula ?
We added in higher Magnesium amounts, and different forms of Magnesium for better absorption. Also, we significantly increase the P and K, should it will naturally give better results for flowering period without needing any extra products. Also, there are some hidden changes for better solubility, better mixing, and doesn't gain moisture as much during powder form.
Just the P/K boost and the Mg boost. I think it was the chelates or something that causes the "clumping". I notice some seperation between the powder and the balls in my older mix, but it usually isnt until Ive taken a bunch of scoops out. Then I just give the container a good shake and its all good again. I'd imagine (though small) that if you get more of one than the other on large mixes that it could make your ppm off from batch to batch. I've personally had no issues since I mix in small batches.
Beat me to it by seconds hahaWe added in higher Magnesium amounts, and different forms of Magnesium for better absorption.

If you are interested in lower cost, we have an Instrgram sponsorship program as well as pallet pricing with very low pricing as well!

Yes you have to order directly thru the web page. You should quote @Dtekkz and ask them about brix measurements or go to web page and contact them directly. They have always responded to any questions i have had.
Just out of curiosity what nut line will you replace it with that is cheaper?
Probably go back to buying 5gal buckets of maxibloom on principle alone even though MC is prob still a little cheaper even with the price hike lol.
Thanks for the reply@aero. Why don't you contact them about pallet pricing. Sounds like you use a lot. The MC is still a cheap way for me to grow as a closet grower.
