Chem-Gro vs Jacks vs Mega Crop

I've been imitating the chem-gro formula
with

Mono-potassium phosphate
Potassium nitrate
Calcium nitrate
Magnesium sulfate
Di-ammonium phosphate

and
Iron DTPA (the kind for aquaponics)
Boric Acid
Manganese sulfate
Zinc EDTA
Copper EDTA

a 10 part formula
because I'm ridiculous

I make a micro stock with distilled water
Works good, without the micros it worked not so good

That’s the type of control I hope to have over my grows.
Horticulture, botany, biology, chemistry, enviornmental science, physics [light spectrums etc.], mycology, agronomy, electrical science [Specifically natural resource conversion I.e. wind, solar], forestry science etc all interest of mine.

I started years ago with GH then House and Gardens, then Raw and now MegaCrop. The GH and HG feed charts were similar in ppm's or EC both of which I used their recirculating chart for DWC then drain to waste with coco. Coco (drain to waste) was always nearly half the ec compared to recirculating.

Those are really nice plants bud. I’ve been on the fence about mega crop it contains kelps and silica. I don’t like to use silica into flower and kelp, from what I understand for kelp to be at its most sucessful in a hydropoinic Rez its nutrients have to be extracted though complex equipment required processes (Cold-press for example). As well the nitrogen ratio, I do work with a lot of strains and some like me to drop nitrogen very early into flower. Those results on your Death Star merit a try at least

Awesome looking plants, definitely got them dialed in! what ec are you running and do you use anything besides mega?hoping to get back to that place again where all my girls are looking chunky and happy with the weight to bring my numbers back up using mega , Jack's or hr v+b since kind sure hasn't performed very well for me

Post #12 in this thread are the current numbers I'm running.
