Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

[Mizzo81]

You're right, the product can be laundry detergent for all I know.
I've found that Amazon have really lowered their standards on situations like this.
Add to that, they are now advertising for third party distribution( aka ebay).
I did order the sample directly from them before Christmas. It took 5 weeks to get to me. Compliments of our buddies in customs at the Vancouver postal depot.

U think customs cut it open found a white powder and tested it possibly? I’m not really into cocaine so I’m not sure how closely it resembles BE.

I suspect the dogs in the customs department at Canada post smelt the Nitrogen in the bag of MC.
Not taking any chances , they took a sample for testing.

@NVbiker figured this be a better place to discuss MC. I don’t have a ppm meter. I’ve always just gone by usually simple formula start at 1g/gallon then every week up a gram till about 3.5-4. I make two gallons at a time I use 6 grams MC and 2 grams SC newest version for all.
According to your numbers I’ve been just under 400 ppms of MC and that makes sense as my ladies r looking a little hungry. Gonna bump up to 7 MC and 3 SC shouldn’t be too drastic an increase .5 gs of each per gallon.

Yeah , my last grow was in Promix HP and the plants were looking a little pale. So I up'ed the solution to 7gm of MC and 2gm of BE.
The plants got greener as expected and started their stretch going into flower.

What I have been noticing working with MC. Is that depending on your grow medium. Your plants have to be happy with the calmag situation first.
The problem lies in trying to correct the calmag as seedlings, then causing a lockout for the MC just as their need for nutes is begining.

My concern with the new MC is that the calmag has been corrected for veg, but at seedling stage, there still is a shortage of Magnesium.

So 50 ppm of Magnesium in RO for the first 2 to 3 weeks, then 1gm MC there after?
Waira sums it up quite well say'n let the plant tell you what it wants.

We're gonna get this right eventually folks.
Kinna like the Lucas formula, but without all the chemistry of 3 bottles

Sweet candy has magnesium in it which is why I haven’t added any. Also I’m gonna be at 7 grams per two gallons of water.

I prefer the idea of adding the SC with the magnesium instead of the bud explosion..

Yeah I never added BE in before week 3 but usually week 4. SC from start of grow but the new sweet candy has higher pk numbers so I’m a little Leary I have some old sweet candy I used in the beginning

just my view here-- I have found Megacrop v1 and v2 (not tried the new stuff as yet) needs magnesium ,I add approx 5-10 grams per 20 liters , also make a solution to spray the plants Epsom salts 2 grams + 2 mls kelp(make my self) per 1 ltr spray bottle and spray every 2 days , this works really well, I have not added Calmag for a while now-- cant by SC at the moment my supplier is out so wont buy any products until they have in stock( have to import the products)

Skux,
I got the sample bag around Christmas and found the same( plants having a mag def'c in early seedling stage).
The idea of a foliar with epsom and kelp sounds like a really good idea.
Short term of course.
By which time, going from seedling to early veg I can always increase my MC feed to meet the needs of my plants.
The closest I have to kelp right now is a bottle of superthrive.
So I'm thinking a good mix is as you propose, perhaps subing the kelp for fulvic acid.

How much of a change did you notice when you first did the application?

This is 5-10 grams of Espom salts as well, right?

yes your correct per 5-10 grams per per 20 liters
