I just bought a new bag of Mc and that’s what mine looks like too. Watching with my pencil and notepad

So, does the new stuff have balls? The stuff I have is the same white-ish/grey color with balls. Also, their website lists the NPK as 10-7-18. Is that what’s listed on the bag?
I can try and work out a feed for you if you like. What type of calmag are you using? I'll need the GA of that. Any other nutrients you have on hand? Whatever you can provide will help.

Thanks MrS. I have a lot of stuff on hand, including the CalMag.
I've been using MC and silica from the beginning.
The last two feedings I added 1 mil of Floralicious which was mixed at 1 tsp/5 gal water.
Thank you again for your help MrS.
When's the next feeding Boo? I'll try and have something for you early afternoon.

This evening she will likely be due, so take your time. 
And thank you.
And thank you.
So I've tried several ways to bring your Mg up. But when I do it brings the K up too. Even dropping some of the Silica doesn't make a difference.This evening she will likely be due, so take your time.
Versions of MC, other than the first one, have too much K. This naturally throws the K.Mg ratio way off since there's only 2.3% of Mg in your version. You need something with more Mg in it. I have always had the luxury of having the original Sweet Candy too which has 5.6% of Mg in it and a 0-0-16 NPK. This allows me to balance by levels out and keeping the K dose low.
Now that I am using Blue Planet Nutrients I am able to put the SC away, since they have a better balance of those ealier mentioned ratios.
Anything I give you is almost the same as what you are giving right now. I have no problem giving you something to try but I'm not sure it will make much difference. The trick is not to go higher with any more MC now. It will only make the problem worse. These are the targets I come close to getting with the mix of stuff I have. This is the closest I can get you with what you have on hand. Everything is measured in grams per gallon.

I just looked and mine is actually a tiny bit different than Boo’s.

Thanks MrS! This is very helpful and brings me down on the MC. I will go mix that up. If I did have other items available, what do you think would work best (so I can add it to my kit)? Hopefully that makes sense....I’m not stoned.So I've tried several ways to bring your Mg up. But when I do it brings the K up too. Even dropping some of the Silica doesn't make a difference.

Also, it looks like the formula is 10(N), 6(P), 20(K). Is that correct math on my part? 
beautiful, Boo! What size is that tent?- Thread starter

Hi Amy! It's a 2x4.

Mine is the same as yours, which is different than their website. Not sure which to believe. I remember sending them an email a while ago about the discrepancies. Their response was basically that the website is correct.
That plant is amazing! Beautiful shot, Boo!
The stuff I got last (apx 4 months ago) is grey, with balls...I haven't used any of it yet-I wanted to use up
the old brown stuff first, because it's starting to get a little chunky- and the balls are growing....

Hey Boo!
So I was reading and seeing you having some MC lockout-type problems, which I’m very familiar with.
I remember we had talked about nutes and my feeding schedule, and was looking back through your pages.
I should have clarified (and with pics) the exact products I was using.
It looks like you have a different version of superthrive and floralicious bloom than I do.
The reason I bring that up is that the levels would be significantly different using your versions. My Floralicious is 1-1-1 and my Superthrive 0.5-0-0
That’s could also be why my dilutions sounded strange and off to you.
I hope it didn’t cause you any problems, I see @Mr. Sauga has got some work done for you- and I would say dialing back that MC is right on target.
Plants looking great otherwise, and those spots will stop coming with the proper dose.

Hey Boo! Catching up and learning a lot here. Looking good, problems aside 
@Mr. Sauga what's that neato spreadsheet app you got thar?

Thanks Copperrein! I think the app @Mr. Sauga is using is grow buddy?
I hope not! I tried to find a download for that well before I started this hydro grow. It's not available on Android according to their site :<
Oh shit it's still ok for windows!
Never thought to see if it was available in 'legacy' format 
I still need my morning joint. And more coffee. Just...just ignore me 
Edit: Nope, downloaded the desktop version and it's all borked. Popups are missing text and even the website doesn't seem to be working for me. Ah well. Maybe in the future.
