I'm a do it my own way guy. I've never followed a "feeding" chart, I think they are bunk personally. From experience with other nutrients, I begin feeding when the canopy is as wide as the final pot it's in. In coco I begin feed at about two weeks depending on the growth of the plant. At that point they get full strength nutrient solution, which for my megacrop 2.0 grows is 525 ppms, +/- 25 ppms. From there, if the plant's color looks good it stays the same start to finish. If I see signs of over feeding I back off 25 ppms and wait a week to see. Surprising how little can make a difference. Also from prior experience, you'll find some strains can tolerate more or less. I don't feed more however, if a plant looks healthy, it is!
And remember, my ppms recommendations are based on auto pot results, it may well differ if you hand water or are doing DWC/RDWC. I do believe it is a good baseline for anyone to use

May I ask, how much megacrop did you use per stage? I know most folks say "watch your plants" but do you start out at 2g per gallon? Do you feel the calculator is accurate?....
