I share your appreciation of the site and the love and sharing that is found here, that makes it a great place, and one that has exposed me to a lot of different angles and considerations that otherwise I'd been totally clueless on. That's all well and good but it is the getting down and doing it where the real experience comes in. I value that on here, the wealth of experience, I have only done a few grows and I am very much learning as I go. I happy to chime for here and there but most things I have only read about. I know nothing about growing indoor or using liquid ferts. I once tried to grow with some Bio-Canna veg and flower with PK13/14 but I managed to mess it up for an unspectacular result. Since then my direction has been on building a living organic style of super soil and training for low height stealth reasons. I would love to grow indoors, but with family who think I am growing chilli plants that never produce any chillis, I can't see how I could locate a tent inside with all the vents and bibs n bobs and either hide it or explain it away. That is what makes this such a good site, the people and threads who support that energy.
With Mega Crop, I had seen it mentioned, but I had somewhat selectively 'tuned out', as I saw myself in the living organic soil (LOS) camp, full respect and interest for all approaches. You mentioned it on your thread but I thought no more of it than someone mentioning any other nute line. But when I happened on to Emilya's thread I was surprised, as last time I was reading her, I thought she was very LOS, so that made me wonder, what's made her change? Of course she is very knowledgable and reading her stuff she is doing so many additional things that at this stage would floor me.
With limited space I only have 4 growing containers, in which the soil I feel I have invested blood sweat and tears into. This year's grow seems to be so far looking encouraging. The real test will be what sort of result I get in 3 months or so, hopefully it is a good one. I need to understand what is Mega Crop best with for outdoor pots, is it soil or just a low nutrient medium like coco?
Up until now, I had been led to view organic as best, nature is best type of thing. Then after last season I read about a Brix approach which some folks who are far more experienced than me felt the smoke quality of High Brix bud even surpassed living organic soil bud, some said their friends all thought so too. I am curious whether there is any difference in 'quality' as well as quantity/health found by people who have changed to Mega Crop. It seems to be getting praise for super healthy plants with good bud size. Me being in NZ, I am used to be there being no choice in strains, and beggars can't be choosers, so as long as the bud gave a good buzz that was about it, and that was the only choice. But for those who have the choice and experience, many of those seem to say at the end of the day it is the quality of the smoke/vapor that they rate the most highly, and some too say they don't care just the more potent the better.
I have always been aware that there are bud stimulators out there that promise to produce big fat buds or cola enhancement or whatever, but for me, I never paid them heed because I viewed my weed like food or milk, I didn't want a bunch of super enhancer chemicals that I feared perhaps would kick me in some other way. Anyway for those folks who have been of that mindset, I wonder how they feel about the quality of the smoke and edibles from Mega Crop grown plants. It sounds intriguing with the seemingly very healthy growth it supports, and someone mentioned a whole new level of nutrition.
The leaf quality you mention is encouraging. I also wonder how that would go in the High Brix world. There are cheap and perfectly fine Brix refractometers on Trademe for 30 odd dollars these days.
Thanks very much for your offer
, I am sure to take it up 
, I need to find out a little more on why it is a different thing to the multitude of other lines of nutes out there, why folks like Emilya made the change, and those folks who used to find organic is best who then went to High Brix what do they think, does it promote High Brix grows, for the folks whose tastes have evolved to wanting ideally the highest quality bud, does it deliver for them? If so, it would seem to tick all boxes for folks; healthy vigorous plants, that are high yielding and produce a high quality smoke/edibles? I'll come back to you on that and probably pronto especially if my current grow heads south, cheers.
