Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

[4d-Rock]

@pop22 is that 450 - 550 just your Megacrop ppms? Are you adding any supplements to bring the total ppms up?

I'm just finishing up a couple small ones and I think at most I used 3 g/gal Megacrop which is approx. 425ppm/0.85 EC But then after adding Sweet Candy and Bud explosion, my feeds were closer to the 750-850ppm/1.5-1.7EC range

I had some deficiency or possible lockout issues after transitioning to flower though. I may also be overfeeding.

Which is why i currently have an experiment going with various levels of feed using the same strain. I'm hoping to finally get this Megacrop stuff dialed in, I've yet to have a fully green and healthy plant start to finish

Ah, my system is same as yours (autopots)! would you be willing to post your feed schedule from seedling to harvest? I use the Greenleaf line as well. im a complete noob and i just want a good feeding schedule baseline to start with.

Seedling I just weighed 1 gram/gallon of the one part. Second week I got my two part and started that at .5 ec. Day 14 i transplanted(a little late) watered in at .8 Ec then 5 days later(directions from growpito) I filled res with 1.0 and that’s where I’ve been. 5 weeks of veg and 4 weeks of flower so far. Just now started to see a little bit of tip burn on some of the ladies. Running 7 different strains on one res all are happy.

Thank you!! Im bookmarking your comment for future reference. I think my problem was always using unbuffered bad quality coco, which caused a magnesium deficiency that i misdiagnosed as a nitrogen deficiency -- and then i started overfeeding and it all went awry. Do you ever add a cal/mag supplement?

Either start with good quality coco( botanicare, Mother Earth) already buffered and ready to use. Or quality brick coco and buffer and precharge it yourself. Or look into growpito lol super easy and u can use over and over.

ive got mother earth on deck for my next grow! ill look into growpito -- i love to experiment.
Edit: i looked at growpito! it looks super interesting but a little complex. im gonna get a little more experience under my belt before trying this!

Canna coco bricks work great and there pre buffered I add perlite to mine

It's my opinion that most "suplements' are snakeoil and don't use them. There is science to support my stand but I won't go into it here. So just Megacrop start to finish.

Much appreciated @pop22
I'm not educated/experienced enough to have a worthwhile opinion one way or another. I started with Fox Farms, tried out the free sample of Megacrop and it worked well enough for the low price that I figured I'd try out some of the other products.
