    Mega Crop Nutes

    I picked up some of this based on a recomendation here and hoped to discuss using it with that poster but he is now suddenly gone

    I wonder if anyone else will be using it and if watering into coco pots by hand, how they will schedule it.

    in talking with the company, they recomend using the calculator on their site with no plain water feedings

    how is anyone else doing it? Imma start some autos next and wanted to get a better sense about what I'm doing. Using the calculator with the amount of water I feed is definitely less ppm than what my GH nutes call for, which is good as far as I'm concerned.

    any additives at late flower? Additional cal mag?

    supposed to be all in one but I know folks modify things

    Morning Cronk, I got a Mephisto auto that's a week or so old, and I'm gonna try Megacrop on her, don't no nothin yet though. But I'm purty sure your gonna need cal-mag. My young plant ain't quite old enough to start feeding very much yet.

      Real curious to see how this stuff does. I ordered some, have it. Haven’t really started feeding my girls yet but I’ve got too much invested in my current nutes not to run through them.

    Hey dude.......was it me Cronk.......if so I'm sorry dude......I can be an erratic person......I have just started using megacrop on a Tyrone Special that is 6 or 7 days old......I'm doing feed/feed/water dude with cal-mag in every time and I'm using only megacrop + cal-mag....might change in bloom, but I tried to buy some sweet candy and it said no shipping available now......so I'm playing it by ear at the moment dude
    The more I know, the better I grow.

      Vapo69, this is from the mega Crop FAQ
      "Sweet Candy has high amounts of carbohydrates/sugars, so it can cause fungus/mold/rotting issues if mixed in with the main formula"

    From what I've read on other forums folks are adding Ca-Mag to be safe, others have seen the need for it. Mega Crop claims thee is no need

    I'm a bit unsure how to go about figuring out my strength. I just watered my plants with 1 gallon each ( not using Mega), so if I use that example I just plug that in their calculator and get my strength. I also guess I'd apply this principle to whatever amount I'm feeding them at a given time

    This is the chart for a gallon in reservoir. Does the same principle apply to top watering by hand? Some companies have different schedules for different methods, why I'm confused
    ...And, if I'm feeding my seedlings in a smaller pot about a quart, so I use .25 gallons to do the same?

    what do ya'll think

    Vegetative/Grow Phase
    Grams 2.00 4.00 4.50
    Cups
    1 Cup = 237ml
    0.01 0.01 0.02
    EC
    Bloom/Flower/Budding Phase
    Grams 5.00 5.50 6.00 6.00 0
    Cups
    1 Cup = 237ml
    0.02 0.02 0.02 0.02 0

      Hi dude....I use the site calculator in litres.....and it is 0.53 per litre at the moment.....it seems such a small amount, I had to buy some small scales to measure with, but I'm going to stick with it and see what happens........I'm doing drain to waste watering and just use what is on the website

      It's a simpler, yet same style chart as any other. Pretty sure

    The thing the chart doesn't show is the column are weeks. That's why it looks complex. You increase the amount based on the week, or stage of growth

      So the .01 cups is 2.37ml or basically half a teaspoon?

    #7
    Forget the cups. This is for one gallon of water for one plant I used it as an example. The grams is what you add to the water for a given week or stage

    I don't know what the cups is all about. Try yhe link to try yourself

      I think cups is for giant res grows where you'd reach into a drum with a cup to take your mix

        I must be looking at it wrong then I thought it was saying 2 grams or .01 cups. I guess I could weigh it on my scale in grams but that sounds like a pain compared to using my liquid nutes. But I like the idea of measuring one thing as opposed to 7

        If I got to think that damn hard, when I'm high as hell, trying to feed my plants, I'll just have to wait till my grandkids come over ,an let them figure it out.

      #9
      1/2 teaspoon = 4 grams

      +++per my original question.....this is for res grows. Does this typically translate to top feeding DTW in coco? Vegetative/Grow Phase using 1 gallon per plant
      Veg in weeks
      Grams 2.00 4.00 4.50
      Bloom/Flower/Budding Phase using 1 gallon per plant
      flower biweekly
      Grams 5.00 5.50 6.00 6.00 0
