Yeah real easy to find if i use the more coarse grain kind I partially dissolve it in a cup of warm water before adding to the mix

The Jacks mix with the Epsom seems like a perfect fit for coco in terms of simplicity

They carry epsom at CVS too.

It really is. megacrop will work but jacks is just way more simple and consistent and cheaper. for coco it's much better in most situations 1 part nutrients are really overrated if you can't mix 3 things you shouldn't be growing haha

Jacks looks like the answer that I was looking for when it comes to coco being as its a dry nute and simple.

How is megacrop not simple? Dissolves easy peasy. I make a stock solution every few days. I’ve use it on everything with no calmag under leds and outside. Coco and everything else. I’ve fed from 4g-8g per gallon depending on what I needed. 21lbs for $60 something dollars shipped? How’s that not cheap also????

It's cheaper and just as easy with less room for error.
Also have you ever even used jacks? I'm actually speaking from experience using both.

No I haven’t used jacks. I went from maxi to megacrop. When I went to megacrop I stopped using calmag. I use about 7 gal of mixed water a day and everything got better then ever. So how much does a 20lbs of jacks cost?
It's like $80 for 25lb you never need more than 3.6g per gal you could get away with less during veg the Epsom and Cal nitrate is even cheaper. You have flowered weed under the led with megacrop right? It worked great for me in veg just not in flower. I also grow in a room in a house so the bad smell of megacrop was enough to make me not use it even if I had great results.
Edit: I meant to quote your post right above this one idk why it quoted the wrong thing

Yes. 40w per square foot of quantum 3000k. The smell of the nutrients reminded me of cat fishing at times but once mixed up wasn’t really noticeable. It did bring out a lot more terps in the plants and I had some stinky strains that got way overpowering

I was looking for a solution for Coco and Ryante shared his experience with both products. I never said MC was expensive or not simple.

Maybe he means for a stock solution? I make a concentrated stock solution with a one part product, Jack’s Oasis Hydro, at about a kilogram per gallon, then dose that out during waterings. Dissolving it in hot water helps when creating a concentrate. I use that and MKP only, unless I see mag def forming, then I drop some epsom in for a few days.

sorry but you're wrong. megacrop *is* cheaper and much simpler. there's no simpler than a 1 part solution. and it has so much more than just NPK + cal+mag... it also has full chelated secondary nutrients, soluble silica, kelp extract, chitosan, b-vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes. all of which are extremely beneficial, and you are not getting with your jacks 3 part. you'd have to mix 5 other products with your 3 part to even match megacrop. 23lbs for $55 and the only thing you need? can't be simpler or easier.
oh and about solubility... i measure it out and then fill up my jug with (5* colder than room tem) water and it's already dissolved.. i don't even need to shake or agitate it..
grown in coco, handwatered with only tapwater and megacrop

Did you have to ph down your tap? My tap is really hard and I have to add 3/4 ml ph down per gallon.

no i never check ph. my tap waters around 7-8 and i only add 1ml ph down if i'm using plain water, none with megacrop but i feed heavy so its usually pretty close.
