I just mixed 5gal bucket 1tspn of calmag a gal and 3g a gal 1part mc and ppm is 1179

what about without the calmag? 3 grams of 1 part into 5 gallons of water should not be 1179 ppm (hanna 500).. and how much and how often are you feeding to 10-20% runoff? like everyday? every other day once a week??

Every 3days

Thaanks for the reps @Mossy now i got to go make some feed

I’ve just never used it is why I said that. If it was me, I would mix up that 3 tablespoons per gallon, and feed that. I would also use an alternative water source for a few waterings and see if that clears it up.

I got distilled water only....

Every 3days

At the size of those they can be getting feed everyday and maybe even multiple times a day

If I use their weight..then one gal ends up like 1200ppm

I've been liking my results with MC 1-part in coco, with no calmag (MC supposedly has enough in it). I add the recommended grams/gallon and then check the ppm just to make sure it's in the ballpark, adding the ppm of my water (150ppm). Many here have recommended ditching ppm and using an EC meter to avoid confusion, but I haven't worn out my ppm meter yet. I figger that if I weigh the recommended amount of MC, any odd ppm reading is the fault of my $20 meter, but checking ppm does let me know if I forgot to add the nutes or added a double dose. These Mephisto Sundae Thumper testers are 6 weeks old in coco with MC 1-part only (currently 5 grams per gallon, ph to 6.0). There are probably other ways to keep track of runoff without the kids' orange Haloween bucket:

300ppm and only germ with seakelp, but I fertigated with 350ppm of megacrop , calmag, then watered in 300ppm of seakelp

Maybe the seakelp rinsed out the MC, leaving them hungry?

I'm feeding them again today with a flush....

I'm going to feed them calmag this time...but not every run....

Haha I don’t even own a meter any more. I just use a tablespoon as a scoop…. And they all get the same feed schedule. I like to exercise my lazy stonerness every chance I can get

Thanks for the reps amigro
