Megacrop

thanks! yeah I checked the labels of the smaller bottles on Amazon....

MC calmag is 11% Ca, so it is actually only 6% N when diluted to have equal amounts of CA as Calimagic. Still not good if you just want more Ca.

Clearly, MC's calmag is the same stuff they put in MC but sold separately so it's not formulated to be competitive.
Ya someone earlier was saying that they saw little white balls of the CalMag in their MegaCrop itself. I'm curious if their CalMag really is just that stuff bagged up.
If thats really the case though, I'm crushing my bag of MC into a damn fine powder and mixing for a few minutes so everything's evenly distributed.

I use so much at once i don't really sweat it. It's doing it's job excellently so it must be fine the way it is. Best buds I've ever had. I can say that now. Using it a full 4 months pretty much and couldn't be happier.

Damn, I might have to bite the bullet and just order it. I feel like the 300G free bag wouldn't be enough and I'd end up buying 2,000g and 750g of the bud explosion. That's enough for a few runs anyway.

Give it a shot but my guess is the calcium will start reacting with the rest of the stuff and the moisture in the air and turn some of your MC into insoluble CaCO3. I wouldn't be surprised if the white balls are coated to keep them from reacting with everything else.

Been trying to find a mix for the CalMG but not sure which Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium Nitrate they use.

Megarop CalMag 13-0-0 11% Ca and 3.5% Mg



The stuff I can get locally is
Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0 /19% Ca
Magnesium Nitrate 11-0-0 /9.3% Mg

If you do a 50/50 mix you get 13.25-0-0 with 9.5% Ca and 4.5% Mg

I'm guessing lowering the Megnesium Nitrate a little would bring up the Ca% up a bit and lower the Mg

I did see a 10-0-0 Magnesium Nitrate online too which might work.

Anyone wanna try it if I mix it up :)

Try to stay away from Nitrogen at all.

Mix all the powder into a liquid concentrate and all you have to do is shake, measure, add. No worries about the right mix of powder.

as long as it hasn't been supersaturated with heat
everything should be fine with just a shake as he's said.
look how Home grown did it for years ..just for the folks who didnt have scales and couldnt measure or weigh things properly and growing? ..hell lol..thats another issue most have.

Mmmm, interesting thread , thx to all the contributers
Personaly ive been looking for a simplified way for sum time , ie; no A+B , sil, calmag, boost, zyme, flower A+B, ph up ,down, & all I read about MC , tells me I should have a go , but with the PK in flower , toward the end

Im currently using Canna pro soil & there nutes for the soil, purely because of how simple it is , 1 bottle veg nute , 1 bottle flower nute, with a dash of PK in flower , all is ok , but the price is pretty out there , in comparison to what read here, & by no means a better product, not that im bagging Canna in anyway
Is this product that versatile , it can be used in any growing medium ?? are there any hempy bucket growers using MC ??im having a go at my first hempy B with strait perlite , any issues there ??
Im not looking to break yield records , just to find a simple system that works , I do like the Canna soil & the HB idea , just coz its so easy …..is MC what im looking for ??

Has anyone had trouble with MC clogging lines or valves in autopots? I see a lot of sediment in my ebb and flow reservoir and thinking of moving to autopots in the future, so I am wondering about this.

As long as its fully dissolved it shouldn't. At the valve do you see any white goo build up at the small hole?

I just noticed a lot of sediment in my 100G res with MC and was wondering with a similar res and autopots does anyone have issues because the hose is only 1/4 inch and also the valve could get gunked up? Just a question, I don't have autopots yet, just ebb and flow.

The way the outlet on the reservoir is positioned and comes with a pre filter it shouldn't let anything in. You could always wrap the filter with a leg stocking to filter it more. Here are a couple of photos of the ones I used as a demo.
