Hi guys... my ears were burning!
Both of you expressed surprise in that I have for this run moved away from my favored mode of organic soil microbe farming to try out Megacrop, and I feel that I owe you an explanation.
First, I went into this grow as an experiment... I have not yet decided to stop the old tried and true organic supersoil method in the future... at least not yet... but I am being swayed.
I considered Megacrop because I consider it to be the way of the future... the way nutes should have been designed all along. There are NO salt based nutrient programs out there that could have convinced me to try them out... but MegaCrop intrigued me.
I have had 2 goals all along in my growing career.... to find the easiest and most reproducible and cheapest way for medical patients to be able to grow their pot, and to stop making all the decisions for the plant. I believe that our plants grow better if we get out of their way and let them decide what nutes they need and the organic feeding cycle does a great job of this.
So, MegaCrop came along and was cheap... free actually to get going with this first grow. Seeing all the others working with it, it became clear that the great results that people were getting with it were very reproducible. When I began to understand the new technology that created these amino acid chelated nutrients, I was hooked... the process allows the plant to decide for a large part as to how much of each nute it is releasing by supplying the needed amino acids, while inside the plant. Instead of salt breaking down as a waste product, MC's amino acid bonds actually shed away and become additional food for the plant, another selling point... no flushing. Then there is the efficiency of the system carrying those nutes into the plant to consider, without a narrow pH range being necessary to maintain. Then when I learned that growth is expected to be 140% better than growth without nutrients, I could stand it no longer... I had to try MegaCrop.
In my experience, the quality of the pot is cumulative. The better the grow goes from start to finish, the better the overall quality. My MC grow is doing amazing things, and I have to believe that after an entire grow of accelerated growth as I am seeing, the fruit from these plants is going to be outstanding. If this grow ends up being as good or even better than my last few organic grows, this product is going to have my full attention. Organic growing isnt for everyone, and it takes a lot of space, time, money and effort to keep your soils viable. MC looks like it is turning out to be much easier and cheaper, and if so, and if it is truly growing organic quality pot, it WILL become my favorite means to grow this medicine.
we muddle on.
I’m glad you are finally getting your medicine rolling along. I feel for ya bubba! Building can be very fun and therapeutic and I’m glad it’s easier on you now. I absolutely love making/building things. I need to get out in my garage too and really clean and tidy it up. There’s sawdust all over the place out there! An ideal world would be nice but like ya said we work with what we have.
hope you have a great rest of the weekend!
but we live and learn brother school fees just got paid....hahaha
I’m trying to pop one of your C99 crosses. She was transferred from the bottom of a glass to a damp paper towel this morning.
