Hey chaos do you know right off hand what your ec tested at with the 6g per gallon? I mix my Jack's by ec not by weight and it's much easier. Don't have to know how many gallons as my reservoirs are unmarked and hard to gauge. I just slowly mix until I hit Target ec. Works great for large batches.

I had to throw it all out the window with EC and PPM with MC and just trust the grams per gallon. Imagine taking a full lineup of Advanced or House and Garden supplements and additives and making it a one part dry nute.

I'd say play with it and see how it goes, I done start MC until the 2nd set of true leafs are out. Start low and work your way up to what the plants like. Every strain is different.

Ok gang week 5 is in the books today and onto week 6. The node spacing is filling in nicely and a lot of frost ! The Pheno on the right is as nice as I've ever saw it but this isn't a strain I'm going to continue with "as of now". Disclaimer this is a un groomed testing run.

Getting watered every day at lights on 6g per gal MC and nothing else. PH 6.2-6.3. I do a rinse every other week with GH floraKlean.

Sorry for the white balance, my normal camera batt was dead.View attachment 4043849 View attachment 4043850 View attachment 4043851 View attachment 4043852 View attachment 4043853 View attachment 4043854 View attachment 4043855

6 grams per gallon of water? Nice.

Sort of off topic question as I am switching to Mega Crop. I was training a guy on a drip method in turpur coco. I was using something comparable to Mega Crop but it need a couple of additives. I helped him do the run 2 months ago and it came out great. I made sure it was dripped at least 4 times a night.

I had great results and good stacking. I had him all set up and said I would check back in 45 days later. His nugs were smaller much less stacking etc. I told him endless times over and over too make sure to do your drip 4 or more times because tupur is almost like a flood and drain but in a coco. Well the nugs are small and not a lot of stacking. I am pretty sure he did not drip like I told him ad naseum. Anyone think it was do to under watering?

Just checked a gallon right now and at six grams I got 1.5 ec and 5.5 pH work ro water. Send pretty stable to me. Now just need to test the day to day fluctuation in a ppk

was your baseline 0 EC for the water? Maybe we will add an EC schedule to the feeding chart since it seems like an easy way to measure a tank.

EC picks up nutrient salts, and also non-nutrient salts like Chitosan, Kelp, they all effect EC. So you have to do real world testing to get a formula for how many grams/gallon effects EC. I have kind of been putting this off, since I would want to have several different brands of EC meters to make sure there is accurate testing, since its possible a meter could be "off" or give slightly different results.

yeah, plain package :) return address is GLN which doesn't really mean anything. We have been shipping since 2009 to non-medical states so security is standard!


Edit: if you are super paranoid, in a non-medical state, you could always ship to a friend/family house and pick it up in person, so there won't be any address links

I run a blue lab truncheon so I'm just going off .1 increments. It's more of a ballpark than exact. Works amazing for Jack's where you don't have to be super precise. I figured on the megacrop as long as the powder is reasonably well mixed I just shoot for an EC of 1.2-1.8 depending on stage of growth and amount of co2.

And yes I am running RO water which doesn't even trigger my meter at all. Should be in the 0-20 ppm range.

I just got hooked up with the guys at soil balance pro. They are gonna have me do a side by side with/without their product. It's a beneficial inoculant similar to Mammoth p. I have previously tested plants for a baseline and I will be testing Jack's v megacrop as my control and two more with the soil balance pro. Everything will be tested and as even as possible.

Will be testing for changes in yield, potency terpenes etc.

Sorry chaos I don't mean to clog up your thread!

@DesertHydro its all good as this is just testing, not for show.
I use a Hanna 9811 but I'm not hydro, part of this test is to see if I would like soilless vs soil and I do.
My bar is set with Maxibllom with additives. My next grow I will play with the root additives and maybe carbs "I have GLN Sweet Candy". I'm impressed so far with nothing but MC and PH adjustment with tap water "TW 40 ppm". I cant speak on the final product though.

When you run them side by side are you going to use any additives with the Jacks ?

I'm going to run two sites that will be base nutrients only and two that have the beneficial bacterial inoculant. Nothing else other than that...... Fuck I forgot. I've been adding mbferts vitamin and hormone booster as well. Other than that, nothing else lol

I hear that ! In the past I have done a couple of runs with just MaxiBloom and because my tap water is only 40 PPM I had calmag issues. I needed calmag with just Maxi. So far Mega Crop has stood on its own. I wonder if Jacks alone with nothing but PH adjustment vs Mega Crop would do ? Product for product ?

The next few weeks are going to tell the tale on Mega Crop for me.
