Here's some MegaCrop @ 42 days of 70..I use a bit of PK boost and 4g/Gallon MC .....Do you use only MC for those results? I've never tried it, probably should, but the 0-50-30 I use is super cheap and I think I like the combined N-P-K ratio better.

Too close...plants are 6-6.5 feet tall on a 8x4 F&D. Can't raise them no mores. Some light bleaching, done did supercrop, with these Sativas, it was only a yesterday solution. Managed to raise the lights 1-2 inches more. Gonna have to finish this way. With huge buds, hopefully only slightly light bleached. i guess I could always turn the 600h down, but then the lowers would suffer, and some of these buds are like 18 inches long and 8 inches thick. I have two net levels as well, which is why these things need no support.

If I had to guess I am guessing 4lbs this run, and last run was 3.25 on 1.1kw. Same same, 1.1 for 4

That run is with megacrop,
Got a bag of maxi bloom to try soon.

Mega is cheap n easy,
I’m done paying for water .
Are you using that all through veg and flower? I'm not familiar with that product. But your results look stellar? Do you use ANY other products with it in bloom? Or Veg?
Is that a Canadian product? I might try a test run. Where to buy?

Megacrop for veg n bloom, I give seedlings 150ppm/ish , I let the plants tell me how much n when, but had the HH up too 1650ppm for max flowering , last feed was 750ish , now they are on water. Going to get some run off data tonight.
My nute cost has went from hundreds a run to pocket change, it’s 1 part dry . Can’t get any easier.
I have one strain that didn’t respond to it , still top shelf smoke just not getting as much. But out of 7 strains I’ve tested it on. I’m more then happy.
USA product . I think you can pay for shipping n get a free sample. So you can try a small run for $5 .

The bad
It stinks, & is very hydroscopic, so I keep a silica pack in it and don’t leave the top off.
(I can live with both)

Last night I asked GreenLeaf to sponsor my grows , they accepted.

I use MegaCrop too for all growth stages. Saving a TON of cash and it is a great product. I think the last bag shipped from the US cost me like 130$ or so with duty, shipping, USD costs etc. It's a 22lb bag. I keep mine in a 5 gallon pail with a lid so it doesn't suck up moisture. So far I have flowered only 3 strains with it, but it works great. Good, cheap product with nice additives like silica and others.

Smell I can handle, but when I used AN it made the plants smell and taste a little like mushrooms. The wife did not care for it at all and when I stopped using it everything went back to normal. Same GSC all the way through.

AN = Advance Nutrients ?
This isn’t any part of AN .
I haven’t found any difference, in taste n flavors from one food to another, I’ve been doing lots of runs with lots of brands over the past yr . The cost savings over a year vs any liquid food is huge .
(Any chance there could have been a drying issue that wasn’t noticed? I associate a mushroom smell with mold.)

I checked for issues but found none. I thought that because I used mushroom compost it was the cause. Not so. My first few run had no nutes, flavor was fine. I introduced AN in flower only. A few runs like that was all I needed to figure it out, well that and the fact my wife smelled the bottle of nutes and professed THAT was the taste/smell. Stopped using it but kept on with the mushroom compost and the issue went away. Powder makes so much more sense. If it does not pass the sniff test after a few grows I will figure out something else. Thanks for the link to buy it.

I convinced my friends in the spring to split a 25 pound bag of Jacks Hydo 5-12-26 and a 25lb bag Cal Nit 15-0-0.
https://www.jacksnutrients.com/online-store
Using the Jacks 3-2-1 formula It will make 3150 Gallons of food with 3.7kg of 15-0-0 left over
3.6 grams 5-12-26 Per Gallon
2.4 grams Cal Nit Per Gallon
1.2 Grams Epsom Salt Per Gallon
It's what we have been using. Haven't used it long enough to notice a taste difference.
The outdoor is in fully amended soil and also being fed jacks
The indoor is strait jacks 3-2-1
I do use worm teas too
