@InTheShed how is that mega crop working out for you? I was going to buy a bag. Are you having to add cal mag?

I ain't having to add nuttin! If I see any deficiencies I just bump up the grams/gallon.
If you run RO water it changes things though.

No I run tap water. Is a 9.9kg bag a good amount?
I got the 2500g bag for like $25 or something.

Ok well I got a good deal on that big bag and couldn’t find a smaller one.
Do you follow feed schedule on the bag or what are you feeding at per week?

I found their feed char seems pretty straight forward. Keep increasing till flower max at 5-6g per gallon.
Every watering rather than every week. I've gotten as high as 6.5g/gallon but most plants were happy at 6.0.
I start around 2.5 when they're young and get to 4 when they move to 1 gallon pots. Then I watch for an increase in needs as it grows and add more.

Exciting day. Got my big bag of mega crop:
9.9 kg that should last a while.
The state of the gorilla glue:
Smells really good. Fed her for the last time today, she is starting to have some ambers so I am expecting to crop her on Friday which puts her at a 9 week flower. Blue Dream was a 6 week ww was 7 week.
The clones: These clones were taken a few weeks into flower. They have since rooted and reverted. kind of annoyed that the mega crop was here lst night and the wife didn’t tell me. I fed the clones so now they will have to wait a couple days to try out the mega crop. I can’t wait. That being said I did give the girls a shot of root booster with their last feed so hopefully they fill out those solo cups in the next week or so.
Need to go grab a new bale of pro mix hp and get the girls into some one gallons to start my 3rd grow.
The grow will be split between white widow and blue Dream. These two plants are the highest yielders and the fastest flowering times. The next grow will be 2 bonsai mothers(one of each strain) the other 5 blue Dream and 4 white widow will go to flower. Going solo -> 1 gal -> 3gal -> fill tent -> flip. The main purpose of the grow will be to build supply by using the fundamentals I have learned in the last two grows as well as dialing in the mega crop feeding for these two strains.
I will be using LST to fill the canopy and will lollipop to reduce larf and save on trim time.

Whooo hooo! Sorry to hear your wife kept it a secret 
That MC is like a sponge, so keep it well sealed in a bucket or similar. Take a mason jar with a sealed lid and keep a month's worth in there or more. Store the main bag in a cool dark area if you can.

Thanks for the tip. I will do just that. Where I live it is very dry so Hopefully we will not have issues with that. I do have a pale with a lid though that I can keep the main bag in as a precaution.Whooo hooo! Sorry to hear your wife kept it a secret

Ya I wasn't thinking of those that may live in drier conditions. As long as you are aware that it doesn't like dampness or any high humid levels.

So dry here. Think 35 rh. I run a house humidifier to bring it up to about 40-45 but in winter that dogs up the windows so got to keep it even dryer. I guess it’s nice that there is some upsides. Curing / drying is pretty easy. Don’t need dehumidifier. Doesn’t wreck my mega crop. Lol. Maybe more too.
I think the worst thing is trying to dial in vpd. I gave up. It’s so hard to have the right amount of air extraction while maintaining a high humidity.

Just the opposite here. Mostly humid during the summer and in the winter it's not as dry as others. I have the luxury of being able to dial in my VPD, albeit I use both a humidifier and dehumidifier with RH controller. Took a bit but works flawlessly now within a few % points.

Very nice. Nice to have everything set right.
Looks ready to chop and it's a beauty. Congrats on the MegaCrop and the clones. And I like the plan for the future!
And that's for his outside grow!

Oh you think she looks ready right meow? Too bad she is such a finicky plant she could have been a lot bigger.

Turns out the package did arrive today and there was no wife fail. Apparently I can’t hear.... Getting old 
Depends on how much couch lock you want. Mostly cloudy with some clear and amber to my eyes. But I tend to take on the early side because my wife likes a head-high.
