Mines also around 8 so MC looks good for me. Just watered with so we'll see how they like it vs flora trio.


I suggest a pistols at dawn. Jacks vs MC.

yeah by mid flower i'm up to about 4 to 5 EC. I feed with every watering and I never water til runoff.

i liked simply for the reply. i find that amazing, i would mdk my plants with that, lol. i can't even bring myself to cull them, have the misses do it. i can't pour my heart into something and not feel bad when it's time to cull it. but, strangely enough, i have no problem chopping em when they're finished. hahaha

5.0 EC? WOW, I can't understand why your plants aren't dead. I wonder if not checking ph is involved? I'm 1.1 EC at the start of flower and ramping it up.
I'm inexperienced, in hempy bucket with 30/70 coco/perlite. I follow the MC feed chart with RO water and it's working great! BTW, 3500k LED strips.

no i never check ph. my tap waters around 7-8 and i only add 1ml ph down if i'm using plain water, none with megacrop but i feed heavy so its usually pretty close.

When you say you feed heavy... how much over what it says on the bag? I am playing with cm and magsulf to try to deal with serious mag def so if I can just up the rate without burning, no cm, that would be best. It says 1.1 tsp in veg, what are you using?

I should note the issue seems to appear first and most int eh more broadleaf, things like nl x bubba

They recommend using 100-ish degree water to dissolve MC completely.

I had to test.... tried extreme agitation in 70-ish degree water.
It seemed to dissolve, but after letting it settle for 5 minutes it was obvious from the cloudy sediment, I needed to use hot water.

Coco - I'm using 5.5gr MC + 2gr GLN's calmag per Gallon in week3. DTW.

Why would anyone add Ca and Mg to Megacrop, are you growing, like, coral or something? There’s a lot of Ca and Mg in there. Ahh, just saw you call yourself a rookie...my apologies...and but, still...

Y’all should bother to read and understand the label, honestly. Not specifically you, I just happened to pick your post, but reading many of these posts makes my butthole itch. With a tiny bit of research this conversation could have been much simpler for everyone. Your target elemental N ppm per gallon is a good place to start. For Cannabis I like 100ppm, give or take 10. If I remember correctly, MegaCrop recommends 125ppm elemental nitrogen, right? You can actually count the atoms per gallon of all your nutes, within a margin of error, with a little bit of research and math. Elemental ppm is not the same as what’s on the TDS meter, or the bag, you have to go by how much of each kind of Nitrogen, (or other nutrient you are calculating) and find the formula to calculate elemental N from that type of chemical source. Pretty easy to search for it all on internets. Why elemental ppm? Because roots uptake only elements, not compounds.

This thread is rife with magical thinking and misinformation, with a few exceptions.

i posted my plants on page 3... just a lil tip burn = perfect imo

Man, your EC and my EC must be different, Canada, eh...because I have researched this, your shit would be D E A D at 5.0 EC on my instruments. I prefer a lil tip burn too, but I seriously don’t get how this works for you. The important thing is you found something that does work, I suppose, but it makes my brains asplode.

To clarify this post a bit. I don’t use MegaCrop, but I studied the label quite a bit and compared it to my homemade nutes, and it has roughly double the Ca:Mg ratio of my mix. My plants are thriving in soil and three different kinds of hydro using my system, so I literally cannot imagine needing to supplement cal mag in MC.

Wat funny he’s talking about feeding at 5.0 ec I run megacrop and never go past 800ppm and gradually come down to 200ppm til the end of the grow. Damn green leaf really likes this cat. He must be trying to feed a 50 yr maple tree lol.

Being condescending really helps.

You aren't even growing in coco, than are putting down folks like asking about extra cal or mag. for what reason?

I am using mega in coco and having a mag def, so I thought I might ask the advice of others.
-Magical thinking? This is why I am leery about posting, just chance for folks to stroke ego at the (perceived) expense of others.

I am growing in coco right now, so suck my condescending cock. Coco is one of the three types of hydro I mentioned, thanks for asking.

My previous posts were my “nice guy” opinions, you won’t like the other ones. Take a walk before your fuckhole burps some more dumb shit.

Proving my point EXACTLY. Any actual advice? I have laid out my issue.

Older leaves fading, Looks Exactly like Mag def pics online. Green in the ridges and not elsewhere. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.

Probably related to the balance between Iron, Mag and Calcium, not necessrily a lack of mag...could be pH, could be salt buildup, could be, umm, excessive Boron maybe?

Check municipal water data against your nutes’ data and take new pH measurements of your solution, give as many details as you can provide about your set up and system and schedule etc. it all plays a part, I am not a monster, I actually care...

Could be just pH swing if you had some changes.

Whole plant pics would help a lot
