I dont know how you managed it but I was going to call my first born son (if I had one) boutros-boutros and old mate Ivan Milat and I have something in common that I use as a bit of trivia when trying to weird people out. Do you watch me in the shower too?
Not everyday usually just Tuesdays and Sundays

So how much did it cost all up ?
i cant remember exactly ( was at the start of the year) but i believe in the $200-250 range after conversion including postage.

its a powder which i like (i dont like paying for water) and i mix it up in 1L stock solution (only because i only use 2L bottles for watering and its a little hard to dose the powder in small amounts)

i quite like it and has cut my base nutrient cost dramatically (i would have easily gone through 2L of my old base which is $180 in the same time ive used 500-600g of MC).

only thing ive been running with it is magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) and mono potassium phosphate as a pk booster (and thats only recent, first couple of crops without it where fine with just the base nutrients)

Try mixing these rather than M.K.P straight

Hammerhead

69 grams of MonoPotassium Phosphate (MKP 52-34)
91 grams potassium sulfate
add to 840 grams distilled water

Overdrive

magnesium sulfate 107g
monopotassium phosphate 109g
potassium nitrate 17g
calcium nitrate 62g

im only using it to boost the pk numbers as per the manufactures recommendation as its a little heavy on N. the manufacurer has actually revised the formula giving it a boost in p,k,mg,s . my mpk stock solution is 100g/l and im dosing 2-8ml per litre.

What's the N.P.K numbers ?

Looks alright,a little high in K but not by much. P is very low I wonder why they did that ? No “proprietary ingredients” which is always good to see,I’d just add a little fulvic or humic to the mix but I put fulvic with everything it’s the gear.
ive never had a problem running a little excess k, the low p hasnt been an issue but ive also never run excessive amounts even in flower.

agree with the fulvics and humics. was hoping to use recharge but cant find it in Aus and dont what to impost something with biologicals in it.

I use a lot of NTS products on my grows and at work and their biologicals are as good as any you'll find.

Their humates are also as good if not better than anything you'll find in the U.S
