Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

[Kyote]

@Mañ'O'Green Seen you mention a few times ... 5 parts fulvic to 2 parts kelp as a foliar spray. Do you go for a ppm of each? And how often do you foliar spray with it? I've been foliar spraying a Cookies FV with 100ppm of kelp every three days and it seems to like it. Thanks

No, those are bio-stimulants and are not measured in EC. It is usually dry measure like teaspoons etc. There is a product out there call 5:2 made with the humic acid the fulvic acid is more highly refined product with smaller particle size for better for foliar absorption. I mix my own from NPK Industries It is 1/4 tsp. Full Up 1/16 tsp. Kelp 1/32 tsp. Yucca Powder in 1 gallon of water. It is a rediculas small amount since the products are so strong.





If you Foliar when a plant is 10 - 12 days old it will break the apical dominance and make a bushier plant. I usually just top mine and foliar just once when the plant is about 3 weeks old. If you want to do more then not any more often than once a week and not after flowering starts.

Here it is at last, not completed but far enough along to be used with confidence.

You must use a gram scale to utilize this to make a formula match the spreadsheet.

Start by adding the batch size in gallons then the PPM of your starting water. This calculates the Ca content of your starting water at 27.5%. If you know your Ca content is higher you can change the formula for I11 =SUM((F11+F18+F24+F32+F38)/B3) + (B5*0.275) here.

Now you just insert the grams of each product to see how it effects the balance in the mix. This will allow you to have more N in veg and less in flower and anywhere in between. Just play around with it to see how things change.

The idea is to keep everything in the circle in the green!

Don't forget you still need to add the Bio-stimulants. This spreadsheet is designed primarily for hydroponics but the balance carries through to soil depending on the hard elements used in the soil or peat. The biggest concern here would be Dolomite Lime, Lime or other Ca sources used in the soil/peat mix. In this case just let the Ca go low in the spreadsheet. All of the rules for soil or peat fertilizing still apply. Fertilize soil once a week and peat 2 or three times. Just PHed water other times.

Ps. I will be getting a Phosphorus meter soon so this spreadsheet is subject to change if the tested numbers are different than the mathematical. Also important is this is based on the Mega Crop batch I have. So don't work to close to the minimums and maximums to allow for some variations in batches.

just quik Q...what are the bio stimulants..is that the fulvic acid, humic acid and such?

never mind, posts popped up answering it, lol

Yes, everything else we put in the pot. Kelp, Humic Acid, B- vitamins, Microzaie, Fungus, Mammoth P ............................. it is a big list. I just use the basics.

Kelp, Humic acid, B-vitamin, Mykcos, Aminos, Omina-a.

Basically your formula is 40% the bags recommendation per gallon... with some more Mag and K. I don't know anything that is strictly K though soooo what do you consider k+? K usually adds N or S depending on the source which I don't see you listing.

No, those are bio-stimulants and are not measured in EC.

Just from memory Kelp includes NPK if its actually real kelp from my understanding. Most companies seem to mimic kelp using easily available NPK. Kelp is slow in availability so in hydro its probably being removed with the water before the plant gets any of it.

@BCBUDY Here is a NLxBB test grow in Cinnabar Farm's My Soil, with 500ppm feedings of MC. Was kicked out of the tent to the greenhouse a few weeks ago. Getting straight rain water for the last week. It is definitely the greenest (is that a word?) finish of an auto that i've had. Thought you might want to see

They leave out Potassium Nitrate but the first link is an interesting list.
Potassium Nitrate should be the fastest uptake so I included the 2nd link.

What Fertilizer Is High In Potassium? (13 Good Sources To Try) | GreenUpSide

Fertilizers that are high in potassium include burned cucumber skins, sulfate of potash magnesia, Illite clay, kelp, wood ash, greensand, granite dust, sawdust, soybean meal, alfalfa, and bat guano.

Your missing the point of the spreadsheet Lets say you want to go low on the calcium because you water is really high: By playing with the inputs you can find a formula that works.
