How necessary is a bloom booster when using megacrop? I've seen very good results from people using it straight throughout their flower cycle. Also, could you comment on the terp content (is it reflected in the taste compared to what you were using before)?

I myself am ready to jump on an order, am looking for something better than veg+bloom when it comes to dry-powder nutes.
the bloom pack I mention is a little more than a bloom booster imo. Its another all in one product that just doesnt have much (any) N so I can play around a little more. I ran a couple rounds no problem just MC but have found things finish a week or 2 earlier adding the bloom pack.

Pollen is pollen dude. Doesnt matter how its made. And theres quite a few people who hermie pollen. A seed is a seed, and a dollar is a dollar. If you think they dont. Then you're farther away from the times than I am. And I have a few buddies that tried to reverse it. And it didnt take. All the same cut. Jbeezys cut. Just bc most people just blab about anything and everything. Doesnt mean everyone in here does. Some people know a little bit about a little bit.
I Personally dont like reversing plants that hermie easily with light manipulation. I had a beautiful auto i was gonna use back when i was making them seeds and right as i went to start spraying she had balls going up the main line.I couldnt use her because of that.

Sometimes crossing 2 hermie prone plants may cancel each other out or the trait might skip a generation.Thats why i test the seedlings of that pair.

I always stress new plants when i get them. Going in the room flipping the lights on when i feel like,High Nitrogen in flower,Massive amounts of dry kool bloom.I have yet to see the cake throw 1 ball.

Now onto the part of reversing.Spraying CS on a female only blocks the ethylene in the plant. They need that to make female flowers. When they Dont have it the only thing left to do is throw male sex parts.CS doesnt make the female throw balls it just deprives her of what she needs. It's tricking the plant per say.

So in reality anyone that said they tried to reverse wedding cake with CS but she threw balls from light manipulation is full of shit.Either she is gonna herm or not and I Have not seen any sign of that whatsoever.
@Dustjesus what say you?

Forcing a female to throw balls from CS or any other silver nitrate that will never otherwise herm is the sure fire way to make solid fems.If a female has the tendancy to throw balls without CS than the plant really should not be used. The harder it is to reverse a plant the better it is for producing non hermie offspring.If plant throws balls from spraying in a week i doubt i will use her. I've had some take up to 4 weeks and looked hald dead but they always lose in the end. I'ts just a matter of having a super healthy plant that can withstand the abuse and having a high PPM of CS. Not that store bought shit that a laser barely shoots through.Im talking when you put a laser in it, It looks like a light saber in the jar.

So that is really the only way to FORCE a plant. I think late stage nanners and light manipulation dont really matter. You can always test those seeds but its most likely the offspring will herm.At least 1 out of 4.

I think that is what gave feminized seeds a bad name, People reversing plants that were already throwing balls to begin with or just using plants that hermie on there own.

Spraying CS is a pain in the ass and you really need super healthy plants for it to work. Otherwise you'll have a shriveled up branch and balls with no pollen in them.

Yeah I've reversed quite a few females. I use 250ppm drops. I put 10-15 drops to one cup of distilled water. Each bottle makes about 25-30 cups of spray. Every time I've used it, it's taken. And like you said some take longer than others. I prefer to use females that take longer to reverse too.

Paid 14 bucks for two bottles. And included a small empty spare finger pump spray bottle.

I'm just ordered some megacrop because of all the talk in here about it. I don't even want to say what I been using because everyone was saying it was crap a few pages back ! So I just need help figuring how to mix it ,

How much do I use in veg and how much in flower ? I'll be mixing 5 gallons at a time
Greenleaf has a feed chart on there web page

I love MC. Super simple. Makes frosty AF nugs. Jus a tad of calmag like you said. And it's good to go. Doesnt affect taste. I've smoked both flushed and no flushed from running it. Didnt really notice any difference. And it yields very well. It's even kinda hard to burn tips with.
@WhiteWidow what are you calling a tad of calmag? Since i started with the cob's i have been adding 2.5 ml per gal

1 lonely female?

Come on @Gu throw this little Lady another pack of cookies and chem so she can get more than a single female! :cuss:lmao Hell her pics are good advertising.

What a bummer, glad you got fems to fill the void.
Aww, thanks Eso. I'm good though. I'll grow this girl out, toss the dudes and move on to germing more beans.


It's not necessary, lol.

I was so stubborn about it for so long, running high ass ppms thinking I was "juicing" the plants. Homebrewer here on rollitup help set me straight back in 2010-11. I stalked his threads on different nutrient lines and saw him running very low ppm and his shit looked great. So I started running lower and lower till I realized I only need 2-5 ml veg nutes per gal for veg and 5-7ml of notes for bloom.

Key is to run what the plant needs and not bog it down with what it don't. I still need to try out the mega crop but I'm digging the canna A and B for now.
His side by side comparison grows were great. I always loved his threads.

@thenotsoesoteric do you use the canna a&b alone, or do you use their whole line? i want to try canna, but some of their additives are super expensive like boost and rhizo. i've heard people say just the a&b gives good results, but i am hesitant because it gives me that feeling of being incomplete which i believe a lot of nutrient companies rely on.

What!!!

Do you have pics of these I'm hoping monster trees? Good lord. Why so high?

This plant and the other ones with it were flowered out with 1-2 teaspoons of pure blend pro grow with no additives and 1 tsp of cal/mag in tupur mix. ppms were only in 600 range.
What???
You don't overfeed your plants?
How the fuck are you supposed to get that harsh taste that makes everyone cough their guts out?

SMH... :P

I tried the megacrop sample pack and my plants liked it.
This year the plan was to use up all the miscellaneous nutes I had on hand and then buy the big bag of megacrop...
Then the hydro store when out of business and I scored a shitload of 'Nectar for the Gods' liquid nutrients for free. :hump:

Seems to be working fine so far. These little ones have only been fed a couple of times.

Sounds just like Mills. Their basis A&B provides the required macro & micro nutrients but you'll get better results with the full line -- or supplementing it yourself if you know what you're doing.

I ran the sample pack of nftg untill I got a sample of megacrop. I liked it, but it took forever to measure and mix all the bottles.

Imo it's the only bottled nutes I would use. It's not just salts mixed with water and marked up 500%

You plan to run NFTGs on those plants for a full run? If so, I'll be looking for any notes or updates you do. I have that same line of NFTG plus a bunch of other bottled lines that I need to use up.

Its calcium based right? This what interest me but yeah, it seems like a lot of work mixing 8 different different bottles.
And I haven't used a feed schedule in long time so I'd have to try to calculate how many plants I could finish with just those qt bottles.

Yeah I think so. Your gonna run out of the hurculean harvest and the amino acids way before the other bottles. I still have about half a bottle of everything but those two only have a little bit left.

I still use the liquid calcium once and a while if I need some, and I put a little bit of the zues juice in with the water for soaking beans. The humic acid seems to really get them to pop fast and healthy.

Thank you. I'll make a note of that. I have a few other bottles of aminos I could probably substitute but nothing for the HH.
I really like the Zues Juice. I cracked open my bottle when I ran out of Ful-Power. Its been a few months but I think I used it for foliar, drenches, and hard to crack seeds. Good stuff
