I'm using tap muni water "40-60 PPM". I got up to week 4 of flower before needing any CalMag. Going forward I will be proactive and add it if I start to see signs.

More like a plastic mesh than rubber, very well made and should last a very long time. I got the premium ones that have the handle "3gal" and Velcro down the side. Got both 1gal for transplant and 3 gal for the rest of the grow.

what grams per gallon are you guys running with the mega crop? @HydroRed @ChaosHunter
yesterdays mix was 5 gr/gal. kinda surprised my EC was only 1.2 ish. with EC 0.1 starting water.

I'm starting at 1gpg with baby's and work my way up from there in 1/2 gpg increments. My two plants in veg atm is a little starved at 2gpg, harvest got in the way and they started to tell on me. Also I've been waiting for these grow bags to come in so I can up pot them to 3gal.
I just mixed a gal with 4gr MC and 1 mil of GH CaliMagic EC 1.2 for the transplant watering. PH 6.3

My first initial res mix for wks 1-2 was 5g per gal. Weeks 3-4 was 5.5g per gal. Weeks 5-6 is 6g per gal as well as the final res mix for 7-8 will be 6g per gal as well. I top off with pH water only and dilute until the next fresh res change. I believe at 6g per gal my ppm on a fresh res was around 840 when the site calls for a lower ppm, but they only count the essential n-p-k values in their ppm/EC estimates so its always been higher than the site says it will be. My tap is approx 110 and flucuates from 6.4-7.4 from season change.

Pardon my ignorance on the matter, but this Mega Crop stuff... is it literally an all-in-one solution?
As in, coco coir + perlite in 5 gal bags and a proper mix of mega crop + ph'd water = phat nugs?
I've gotten away from hydro grows and sticking to soils because I like the idea of only needing to look out for salts and calcium... but if I could go even more simple to coco and mega crop, I would love life.

Simplicity, and happy healthy plants that are in need of nothing have been my results with it. I document a Mega Crop grow in my sig link if you care to check it out. Its the Kosher Kush "Table 2" posts that are grown with Mega Crop only.
I've had great results with Mega Crop alone with no boosters, supplements etc under HPS. Mega Crop, tap water and H2o2 -thats it. Its been a rock solid stand alone nutrient.

even better, it's a dry nute.
i had some pH issues with it but i'm changing some things for the better.

awesome! thanks for the info and awesome grow(s)! -- curious, the h2o2, that's because you're running hyrdo right? not necessary if im hand feeding in coco+perlite. -- as in, that has nothing to do with the Mega crop, but more to do with running F&D
that's awesome! so the shelf life i presume is much longer than liquid nutes?
what sort of ph probs did you have? looked like HydroRed was pretty stable with his ph. what's your medium?
HydroRed
Well-Known Member
Correct. Just to keep the nasties out. Works well to perk up the plants too since the only byproduct from h2o2 is water. I only use 3% from the store so I almost cant burn em lol

yeah,, the shelf life should be much longer dry vs liquid.
i was using RO and a waterfall in a stand alone, drain to waste res. after day 4 or 5, the pH dropped like a stone to low 5's. so medium or roots had no influence on the pH at all.
now i'm using a mix of well and RO and only using the waterfall when my feed pump is on and the pH has actually been slowly creeping up but still in range (day 4 of my test with this method is today)

So I got the final two transplanted and they seem to be getting out of the shock. I was a little early in popping them and had to cut the fabric dirt pot transplanters they were in. I really like the radicle bags better, a lot cleaner. The AWB Grape ape is on the right and am on the fence if I want to keep it for the ride "its a girl". Clearwater Kush on the left is perfect in every way, very nice genetics.
CWK
AWB GA, not impressed genetically, extremely stacked internodes, almost like a head of Lettice. Also not as healthy, it has had that twisted rough leaf structure from day one.

I know you are on the fence, but that AWB GA looks "different" and Im not sure if its in a good or a bad way. Gotta admit, Im intrigued by its leaf serations alone. Reminds me of a early 90's skunk minus the twisted leaf structure. Garden is looking good man!

It was a limited release from Greenpoint seeds "diffrent breeder and Fems" part of the 92 Florida series.

CH everything is looking good my friend, those bags are really nice btw. Almost like a grow bag version of an air pot. I am going to look into these, may flower the girls out in them.

Red is right on the money about that looking like old school skunk. Reminds me of some of the classic sweet less pungent rks I used to run. Also had a FMS c99 that looked identical to that as well, only it had double serrations.
