What about extra Cal Mag for the LED users in the new formula? I still have a whole 22 pound bag of the old stuff to go through...

I dunno that. See the other thread for more info. The MC guy is over there answering Q's.

So I pulled the trigger on some mega crop, should be here mid week. What feed rate is everyone using? Hippy I know you said you were feeding a bit below the recommended amount.

I can't wait to see/hear about your results. I'm 200% pleased with mine. I can say absolutely now that in veg my plants are insane great! They were pretty good. But now with MC they are stellar. BEST I've ever had. Grow to dam fast almost.
In flower since Dec 7 and the girls are superb....no complaints so far. None have had the full cycle of MC in their yet. But from the looks so far they will be great! That's multiple strains as well. I did feel that some of the new ones into flower that got MC right away in flower, started to bud sooner and a bit bigger. Hard to say positively. Everything is gooing up correctly as well. Overall the best result ever for me. Makes me wonder why?

Fuck are you ever going to save money too! I'm feeding my plants for pennies over my other nutes. Makes me not feel so bad about the runoff you see.

Actually I do have one regret with Mega Crop. WHY the FUCK didn't I start using it sooner.
I was reading here about it but didn't pay enough attention. @BigHornBuds was talking about it and I didn't pay attention properly. Could have had 2 or 3 extra months on it already...shit !!!!
My advice is if someone is thinking about using Mega Crop......stop thinking......and hurry up and grab some. The stuff even fixed a long thought of as almost dead strain i have......now...bang it popped back and is thriving. I thought it was lost. It is a coveted @Flash63 old but goldie....hehehe...she might be back bro.
I screwed around with the free size and wasted time as well there. Oh well...now I know. Funny how some stuff you just gotta learn the hard way.

Veg: If I calculate 4g for a gallon, I give it 3-3.5g.
It's a small amount in the scoop so you get it close but under what the chart says.
Flower: if it says 20g for 5gal I give it 16-18g

I think one guy in the US was asking how much to add for 1 gal of mix. It's such a small amount it's hard to measure actually. I use about 50 grams for my veg res. It's not a whole lot of the stuff really. A gram or two is tiny.

How big is your res? For a gallon of veg nutes I use 3.5g.

Do you add CalMag or just up the feeding?

Does everyone follow the GreenLeaf's recommended feeding schedule? It seems a bit high to me but I'll figure out here soon once I move my veg plants to flower. Also I made the switch recently right in the middle of my veg cycle and I'm glad I did. Anyone questioning should just get a small bag to try it out maybe on some veg plants like I did. Saving money for sure. Been using House and Garden aqua flakes for a base and MC is holding it's own over them so far

Not so far. I just use the MC and the P-K booster. Ph to 6.3. Nothing else at all. I'm still on the old formula as well.

I run hydro so I let the plants tell me via the reservoir how much they want to be fed - which so far since I also use PK boost in mid-late flowering is a lot less than the recommended dosage, about 2/3 to be specific, i.e. 4g/G. I heard you can use more but at that dosage I get big buds and a bid of tip burn which is ok, it is hard to balance 4 strains on one reservoir - but MC does a darnd good job.
