Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

I believe they said this was released in August.

Is that a newer version than the version available mid year?

Ok.....not what I have.

You probably got the V2, which I had great success with. I ran out an have been using V1 till today. That works well also, just needs added cal/mag. Your does not, I never added a drop of cal/mag to my V2 solution.

Ok.....not what I have.

This fact isn't very obvious - I just realized a couple days ago I was researching and planning on versions DIERENT than the new one I purchased in September, thinking that since the one was researching was released this year must be the current formula. Very frustrating. Do we have any idea exactly what's different in the new new (i.e. August 2020) mix?

All you need to do is check their webpage!

I believe this is the formula that was suppose to come out in May. I checked their blog and that was the last formula update. Here is the mix:

• More fine and ground powder consistency. We are grinding the “large white balls” that were present in the previous versions, which help make it more of a uniform type powder. For smaller growers especially, this will help them get a uniform even dose at low doses very easy.
• Higher Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca). Yes, this was always a common request, and this should help prevent the requirement for any extra supplements especially for heavy feeding strains and growing conditions
• Higher Phosphorous (P). This will help reduce the need for any extra boosters or supplements, and give overall better flowering and fruiting.
• Lower Potassium (K). Our previous formulas always had quite a bit of K, so we are slightly reducing it in order to make room for other benefits above
• Different form of Kelp extract (Ascophyllum Nodosum). We are including black flake type kelp which is higher quality, and increasing the quantities significantly. So there should be overall more kelp benefits from the updated formula.

as you can see, the changes were rather minor. I love the new consistency, blends quickly with water.

Just so we are clear on this regardless to the version of the MC the PH going in is based on the growing medium. Hydroponics 5.8, Coco 6.1 and soil 6.5.

Thanks! I should have checked. My problem early in my grow was missing this info (and reading bad info from others) and supplementing with the full calmag amount for the first month or so.

Can’t wait to see what my next grow will look like knowing what I’ve learned this time around!

Well, I'm just curious as to the purpose
of that statement?

To be sure new growers reading this thread have not been confused about what PH should be used with MC in different media.
