I got this bag today. Looks totally different than the others I've had and it has black flakes in it that dont dissolve and there aren't any of the little balls.
I should open my new bag and find out what I got.

Don't do it! It must be bad if everyone is craving the bum hole stench of the previous one.
It can't be any worse than the offerings of the babies I've changed.
Hey carcass!! Just rolling through! Hope you and your family are doing good!!!
Someone here once called the smell sweet and nasty all at once. I think it describes it perfectly.
To be honest there is only one thing which annoys me with version 2 and it isn't the musky helmet smell. Neither is it the fact that the little balls take some serious mixing especially in ice cold water. No. What annoys me most is how dusty it is. Its so dusty that I know what it tastes like lol

Yes it is very dusty. I moved some into a canning jar so I don’t have to deal with it much. Only when I refill the jar.
That’s one of the things I also experienced. Had to turn all fans off etc and could still taste the unique (metallic/poop) taste in the air. Girlfriend always knew when I was mixing it too lol

Thank heaven for little girls!
That's the recipe I use too, except I add more oil to it....
Yes, it is salt based, but it's a different salt than, say, Miracle Grow or other chemical based nutes. At least that's how I understand it....(not so bad salt as opposed to bad salt?)
Hopefully,your plants won't notice the difference...
Be careful with additives- I proved that a little too much "Bud Explosion"(potassium) will burn up your plant in a very short time.(Northern Lights, last year)
Brown and stinky, or white and not quite as stinky!
I do kind of wonder what GLN removed from it to get rid of our second favorite stink! (cannabis being the first favorite stink)
My daughter in law sent us a pic of my son dealing with his first "diaper blowout" from little Nova...(yipes!)
better him than me!
Thanks,BL,we're doing good ! How's your little Nova doing?(and the rest of the family,of course!)
Reminds me of a girlfriend I had 50 years ago
Lots of iron in that stuff!..
That's what I do, plus I toss in a few silica gel packets to keep it nice and dusty!
Mrs.C. says "Oh good, a new stink- is the pot smell in here not strong enough for ya?"
How much more oil are you adding?

I add a half a cup,instead of a quarter cup- they're pretty strong!
At first I used grapeseed oil, and the gummies were pretty greasy...but since I switched to refined coconut oil
the greasiness went away for the most part- but they will get greasy if they get warmer than 78f.
I store mine in the freezer since It can get pretty warm in my house (no A/C) during this time of year.

Ok I will be making that way next time. I keep them in the freezer also.
Actually Shed or anyone else who runs a buffered media does not have to pH their nutes. It really has nothing to do with the type of nutes used. Buffering agents would be something like dolomite lime or humus. If your media, such as FFOF or Promix contains either of those then it's considered buffered. Hydro and passive hydro are always required to pH their nutes as there are no buffering agents in water or coco.

Also good to review this LINK re: Salts, Aminos, etc. Mega Crop primarily consists of the same Salts that every other fertilizer is made of. Only difference is that some of the Micros (less than 7% of the product) are Amino Acid Chelated vs EDTA Chelated. Far to much credence has been given to those Aminos. They aren't magical. They do the same thing EDTA does except EDTA is considered a pollutant and is a banned substance in much of Europe. If you want to make a product that you can sell on a global scale, you don't use EDTA. Ever wonder why a lot of the fertilizers available in the States aren't available over seas? That's your answer.

Baby nova is good!! She’s A lil piggy!! lol all she wants to do is nurse (nothing new there) Other then that, she does a lot of sleeping... our three year old is good, she loves her baby sister!! The wife is good, still in pain, but had another good 5 weeks before she’s in the clear.
Thanks Vg!! I was snuggling with the two of them yesterday, and the oldest kept giving her kisses and was saying I love you baby sister!Congrats on the new family member.
So sweet that she loves her baby sis.
@farside05 very nice write up in the link you provided. I am wondering if you would mind if I put a link to it in my journal giving you full credit of course. I starting a promix M/C grow not adjudting ph. Your write up explains what I am trying to describe in my journal but could never explain things aswell as you just did for me.
You're more than welcome to link away. I've been growing in Pro-Mix or my Faux-Mix® copy of HP for the last year and a half without adjusting pH. I use Mega Crop and supplement with Silica and Cal-Mag. That allows me to tweak the N-P-K numbers a hair to get to the 2-1-3 ratio I prefer, and gives the plant more Silica than just plain Mega Crop (where I think Mega Crop is lacking).
