MEGA CROP 2.0 750g free sample promo

[ClydeWalters]

I have a suggestion, use a higher quality medium. You spent a lot of time and money on your set up. Using subpar medium is kind of silly if you are willing to invest in other areas, invest in a cleaner medium. Fox Farm medium is garbage, I would start by throwing that stuff in the garbage. Not being a jerk, I am just being honest. I would highly augsugg just doing Coco, if you are using MC as your nutes. Dirty Happy Frog soil isn't gonna help your plants, watch out for bugs. Fox Farm will add those for free. Good luck!

Hence why I said I’d never use it again lol

At the TIME, it was get world class lights.. and cheap soil.. leaving me w the lights

Or great soil and nutes... and cheap lights

Those are my only plants using said medium.

I have ten hempys in the same tent lmao

Less than half my grow is in that soil mix.

I think most of us can agree that scientific info has pretty much established that a canna plants' need for Ca declines as the end of veg and the beginning of flower as the need for PK increases.

I was glad to see that Greenleaf has reduced the amount of CA and increased the PK in their 2.0 version. I ran into some Ca overload on my last grow during flower in spite of reducing the amount of MC 1.0 fed. I have been wondering about this since then and I believe I ran into the answer today.

I was talking to one my county's water chemists on the phone[just called and asked for a chemist!!]and asked him about Ca overload in plants in general[heh heh]! He pointed out something I had never thought about. He said that our county has a large amount of dissolved Ca in it on a regular basis. This is because of our location close to the Appalachian mountains. This whole area was created by glacial action which deposited huge amounts of limestone as they receded. Limestone is basically calcium carbonate and this gets dissolved in run off water and streams in the area....thus leading to high Ca in our water. This is what causes the brown stains in sinks and tubs.

His recommendation for folks who use tap water to hydrate their house plants[heh, heh again]is to be very careful is using plant foods that are high in Ca and titrate carefully. He also said this situation was prevalent from Maine to Georgia where the Appalachians run. Because of run off, this doesn't occur just in the mountainous areas......it can be in any part of the eastern states.

I thought this was very interesting and offer it as a FYI.

Some or many using more intense LEDs or COBs with autoflowering strains may simply need to give their plants more Ca. Despite using MegaCrop (now. ver. 2) and Appalachian mountain, Potomac River, water I still have to add some Ca and Mg, doing this in feed and foliarly.

Very true....I have heard the same thing. I think a whole lot of stuff dealing with light intensity is going to come out soon. With the power and intensity race getting more active, with one company trying to top another, I think we are going to start into finding more problems resulting from excessive light intensity. This is just a thought on my part arrived at by reading a lot of threads. I mean, most of us grow in relatively small areas....so how much light is enough? I'm just saying.................

 

[ClydeWalters]

I can attest personally that growers who use INTENSE white light LEDs will need more cal mag... even in soil.

Speaking from brutal first hand experience :/

My QB96 Elites are so intense they even cause non purple plants to purple at the end of flower if you let the cal go unchecked especially

I live just west of the Appalachian mountains and my tap water is right at 190ppm. When I use it, my plants don’t need any cal/mag even under COBs. I switch to rainwater 001ppm once stretch is over and girls are fully flowering.

I’ve never considered gathering rain water before... is that working out for you?

I HATE buying distilled water 10 gallons at a time every week...

Tap water is not an option. I refuse. It’s so buffered it’s unbelievable

Rainwater works great for me. I used to check the pH and PPM but after a few years of collecting it, I just know it will be approx 7.0 ph and a PPM of one or less. I have a downspout going into a rain barrel. Before I set that up I use to fill five gallon water jugs from the downspout during a heavy rain. Best of all, it’s free.

It’s illegal where I am to collect rainwater... that’s so lame.

I think I’m going to start collecting it just because

Thx man, inspired me

That’s the weirdest law I ever heard, like a law against collecting sunshine in a solar array. Don’t tell anyone but it’s illegal to grow weed where I am, but I do anyhow.
