Just map and mc, still got abit of p issues showing. Feeding map at 1.5g to 5 litres, might up it entering 5th week flower
Switch the map for mpk in your regular feed. Dose the map seperate when needed. Map is only really good in the early veg phase when nitrogen and phosphorus are important. Mid to late flower you want that pk boost from
The mpk which has more p than k. If you start getting k tox issues (which you shouldn’t but might) drop the mega dose rates down

Yea bought 20 litres of cal mag with added boron $125 today

WWht sort of mkp just cheap powdered shit my loc asl hydro store makes there own cheap brand
Mpk is a bass salt. I buy it from a pet supplier


What ratios is the calcium to magnesium? Most hydro brands put too much magnesium to be an effective calcium supplement without causing mag toxicity.

Don’t “need” any other additives but you can add a couple of things to boost its performance. Keeping on the cheap theme and mostly using base salts, I like mono potassium phosphate (mkp) to boost phos levels in early/mid flower, I also like foliar feeding calcium Nitrate in veg/early flower to boost calcium levels as well as magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts), I use nts trio which is a cal/nit based foliar spray with magnesium and boron added and is pretty cheap when you look at the dosage rates (2-4ml per
L for foliar spraying)

Can also add beneficials like myco etc.

If it’s ag grade with boron it’ll probably be good. Might even be nts (nutri-tech solutions) gear. They are popular with ag guys especially down your way. Those poppy farming cunts love nts.

So that mpk is a flowering booster?
Yep. It’s straight p and k. It’s the most used salt in nearly all hydro bottle Pk boosters. Sometimes mixed with potassium sulphate or potassium nitrate to boost the k levels up but that isn’t needed and you’d be better off foliar feeding potassium citrate instead of adding more k to your base feed as it tend to locks shit out easily especially in coco as it fucks with the cation exchange.

Yeah nice. A decent Ag supply joint should be able to get you anything you need to grow with for a tenth of the price for the same shit
From hydro shop in a different bottle with more water. Klx gets his base nutrient mix from the ag store I’m pretty sure, some tomato hydro mix that comes in a 25kg bag that he runs like the jack 3-2-1 lineup with calnit and Epsom Salts

If you haven’t looked at Their gear before I recommend haveing a look at The nts Lineup. They have something for everything grow related almost and are popular with med
Growers in the USA and Canada, plus they are an aus company.

Edit- link to nts, shits cheap through their site. https://www.nutri-tech.com.au

As nuts said the mega needs storing right. Buy an air tight bucket for it and throw in a desiccant pack (I use the closet odour eaters Form Kmart) otherwise it’ll absorb water out of the air and turn into a sticky paste.

I’ll pull a bit out of my bucket tonight and leave it on the bench and show you what happens . It’s still usable in paste form it’s just a fucking pain to weigh and mix.

Yeah man. It’s just salt and will fully dissolve. Might need to run drip cleaner if you’ve got small sprayers. There’s a good chance your already using it if your using a liquid pk booster.
I just use 4mm hose for my drippers.

How any grams per litre is it the mega crop or 10 litres

How per litre of the nova mpk to
Cheers
Yeah just those things that suck up any humitity

Heres a pic of my board my bro is a sparky and hes redone it all for me, my house has 3 phase and he said he put my grow room on same phase as my garage and rest of the house on others. By breaker do you main the mains switch? If so 80A. Sorry im not clued on with electrical shit ive had all my mates and family be sparkies so ive always left it to them.View attachment 4651083
Find out which one is your garage. C16 OR C10. Turn on your lights in your garage, and go to your board flip a cb individually. Probably one of the last two of the end.

If its C10. You can only handle 2300w in total. 10amps x 230V. If it goes over, that breaker will trip and u would have to go to the board and switch it back on.
But as you were saying your power board trips. Its most likely a surge protector power board. The board is getting too much power, could be inrush or whatever.

I've had to use a blender that we don't need anymore to crush it back up
Yours prob goes more paste mine goes more rock solid
Just the humidity difference we get living different areas

Yeah mate i said it was the surge protected power board tripping. And can deffinatly handle more than 2300w considering ive got of 3kw of lights alone in the flower room and can have my milling machine, lathe and welder running in the shed no problem
