Ok, so I just started another flood table of the same strain from the same momma under the same light and room. Only difference from the other flood table of the Kosher Kush is the nutrients Im using. @GreenleafNutrients was kind enough to send me out a sample of their one part dry nutrient called "Mega Crop".
Upon opening the pack, I was welcomed with a smell of baby poop and burnt vitamins lol.
I weighed out 50g for 10gal of water as the feed schedule suggests on their website.

My water from tap was 115 ppm and 6.9 pH.

I mixed the 50g of Mega Crop into a one gallon jug of water first to examine how it breaks down before putting it into my fresh clean res.
I was impressed with how well it broke down in the water as it looked like ice tea in the jug with no particulates visible. I dumped the jug into the res and let it sit for about an hour and took PPM and pH measurements.
PPM of 760 and a pH of 6.2. I haven't even added any pH down or anything else so it seems like it has good buffering properties in it as a stand alone nutrient.

I added 10ml of H2o2 per gal as I normally do when I run synthetics. I was informed by the company that it is ok to use the nutrients in a sterile res with H2o2.
I was also informed that the site only accounts for elemental PPM, it does not include the increase in PPM from other non-element additives, like kelp, chitosan, etc. This explains why my ppm are a little higher than what it states it should be on the site which is I believe is 455 PPM.

At almost 24 hrs now, the pH has remained at 6.2 without any use of pH Down and the PPM is down from 760 to 726.
Only tap water, H2o2 and Mega Crop.

The plants look pretty happy so far.

Ok, not impressed at all with this pheno of Kosher Kush. Where's the smell and where's the frost? Not even close to what I remember it being.
At this rate, I'm likely gonna have a free spot in the momma room soon.

my recent MK Ultra experience was the same, nothing like the description & seemed to have low visible resin, looked like sativa yet supposed to be near full indica? though ended up being a worthy plant after all, smokes real nice & a reasonable yield

Hmmm...I just got Mk in my most recent purchase lol
I had a partner that grew it out in organic soil and it was top notch smoke. He no longer had the momma so I had to get some.

yeah the only thing my MK had in common with the description was the 'burnt rubber/plastic odor', crossed it with C99, nice chuck but a bit slow to mature & medium yield, im thinking of chucking it again with a heavy yielding fast finisher like Mikado...so many possibilities with chucks

That sounds like a good mix with a heavier yielder. This was probably 10 years ago, but I remember the frost being of that like a gorilla glue today, just covered down to the sugar leaves. Smaller popcorn type nugs on lanky long branches & not a big yielder like you mentioned but a quality smoke.

wow nahhhh mine had virtually no visible frost, the least frost out of any plant ive grown these last few yrs, i do not know what happened with mine?, they were not sick in any way? i think sometimes theres an error at a banks headquarters & a sad batch are released with these long term top strains, look at AK47, Romulan & NL amongst others, not a patch on the originals now? i think fire is where you find it, & possibly some of those oldtime top strains may lose there quality over time, but a person has gotta test them out ha

Your exactly right. I've tried strains of skunk and NONE of them have even compared to anything I was getting in the 90's. Same thing with White Widow. I have yet to try any new strain other than ILGM's White Widow that even compares to what I was smoking 2 decades ago. I dont recommend ILGM at all though -buyer beware!

WOW thats seriously only megacrop? How much do you think a single grow uses of it? I am super intrigued from what I am seeing from megacrop results (i swear this isnt a plug). How often do you water and how many tsp/tbsp are you feeding per water?
Click to expand...
Its my first run with it so far so I dont have any experience to share. I will say that they are very happy so far.
Im following the feeding instructions they have on their website.
https://greenleafnutrients.com/feeding-chart/?v=f24485ae434a
It equates to about 5g per gallon of water for wks 1-2. It will progress to 5.5g per gallon weeks 3-4. Then 6g per gallon for weeks 5-8.
I recieved a 230g sample pack so it should be enough to get me through a single 8 wk run on one of my flood tables.

I'm jaded as shit about getting clones anymore, but yet my circle is small and were running out of "new" strains between us so I'll be doing a little more when it comes to starting seeds trying to find the next "keeper" for us. What do you have your eye on for clones?
Click to expand...
At lest you have a circle ! I used to years ago and miss the harvest bbqs we used to have. Lots of swapping and trading goods. Today I'm older lol and moved to a new state that isn't friendly and alone I'm my hobby. I need to connect but don't even know where to start.

Thanks Chaos, they're chuggin along. Im getting anxious to get some cuts from the "Black D.O.G." and the "Bubblegummer" I have in the momma room into the flood tables.
You'd be suprised to find out who is in your "backyard" on here and may be able to swap genetics etc by networking. Also theres always the fun of popping new beans yourself. Usually if I get a clone I already know whats up with it so there really isnt that "suprise" element.
You know what they say.....Grass is always greener haha

Feeding only Mega Crop by Greenleaf Nutrients
I think this is a week since 12/12 maybe 9 days since transplant. Not really keeping track of time on this one though.
PPM 706
pH 6.3 & still haven't needed to use pH down.
Nice green color, vigorous growth and no burnt tips.
So far so good @GreenleafNutrients
