Great. I will give the recipe a try. I can find only powdered dolo lime tho. I hope it will keep the mix buffered?When using Mega Crop, I use that schedule for both photos and autos.

I understand but due to postage concerns i. able to find only powdered. I hope i will not run into any issues. Maybe sprinkle a couple of spoons extra after a couple of months will keep me safeI use the pelletized lime in my Faux-Mix®. It's readily available at most big box home stores in the U.S. Espoma brand or the like. The bigger bag at Home Depot out in the Garden Center costs about the same as Espoma and is 9x more. It's by Soil Doctor.

Trying to digest the infos you provide. I will come back later when i have my questions readyPowdered will probably work fine. 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of mix made. Since Mega Crop is low in Ammonical Nitrogen, high in Nitrate Nitrogen, it's best for water sources with low alkalinity. You can get away with using higher alkalinity water (ie 150 ppm) for a normal grow, but for long grows, you may have an upward pH drift in your growing medium. If that's the case I'd probably stick to using the 1 tablespoon vs 2. That or maybe a different fertilizer is a better choice if you have high alkalinity water. May I ask what your water is like?
@farside05 ok, I have to ask.....what is that hay wired switch in the first pic on post #2,606? Looks like a recipe for disaster my friend.
I'm assuming you are asking if Faux-Mix®, aka building your own soil-less medium, will work with other nutrient lines. The answer is yes, with a caveat. It will work with any COMPLETE fertilizer. Canna Terra Vega says it's for SOIL not soil-less. It is not a complete fertilizer. Evidently they are expecting the soil to provide all the micronutrients since all it contains is N, P, K & Mo. Therefore I cannot recommend using those Canna products with any soil-less medium.Hello @farside05, i have been studying this journal and i like the simplicity and the cost expenses in your actions to grow buds.
I will try for my next grow i hope to be successfull.
Is this going to work with bottle nutrients like the canna terra veg and canna terra bloom?
I know how amazing MegaCrop is and i have it here with me but i wanted to empty the bottles first and use the MC for the grow after.
Looks like a nice green full house.

Looking beautiful.
Nitrate Nitrogen | 13.6% |
Ammoniacal Nitrogen | 5.7% |
Are you using the Tezula 13-3-15 that is almost 100% ammoniacal nitrogen and if so, are you worried about it lowering the pH of the FauxMix? MC is raising the pH of my ProMix within a month and a half, so I'm deciding whether to switch media or nutes (despite the over $50 in sunk cost to MC). I feel like straight ammonical would give me a pH problem in the other direction!
Tezula also makes a 19-4-23 that is:
but it contains no sulfur or magnesium, both of which are in epsom salts.
Nitrate Nitrogen 13.6%Ammoniacal Nitrogen 5.7%
I was thinking that might be a better balance to keep the pH in check.
Macronutrients: 13.0% Total Nitrogen (Nitrate Nitrogen 12.5%, Ammoniacal Nitrogen 0.7%) 3% Available Phosphate Acid (P2O5) 15.9% Soluble Potash (K2O) 8.0% Calcium (Ca) 2% Magnesium (Mg) Derived from calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, potassium nitrate and monopotassium phosphate |

What did you use for sulfur with the Jack's? It doesn't have any at all!You could try Jack's 15-5-20. I used it last run with decent results. It's 20% Ammonical.
And did it lead you to any conclusions?I thought I would compare these three at ~158ppm N
