Also yes feeding 1 gallon per plant every other day, the odd time every 3 days if I am really busy. Only get a slight bit of runoff each time.

@InTheShed Yeah I'm seeing that now, they aren't very tall but pretty wide and tons of stalks. I can tell the pots are pretty much pure roots.
Although I do have 0 experience to compare to lol!
Just mixed my first MC feed. Going to need a new scale if I get into the MC mine doesn't have decimal place so no measuring .5s. Damn you guys werent kidding though this stuff stiiinks

Pro-TeKt is a Dyna-Gro silicon supplement with an NPK of 0-0-3. Some Mega Crop users use it along with General Hydroponics' CALiMAGic (NPK 1-0-0) to maintain the overall NPK ratio of the nutrient solution.
They need enough room for roots. Like Shed mentioned, in a 5gal you're going to get root bound pretty easily. In a 7gal you have a little more room, and a 10gal would be great. (If it were soil, you'd be looking at 10gal or 15gal. Living Organic Soil? 25gal.)
It isn't really something to be overly concerned with, but can help if you want to top up the buckets with feed instead of just water. Nothing you need to do. You can do just what you've been doing with the water. The only thing changing is your nutrient. You don't need to change style or anything other than how much food is in the water. Other than that, that's it.
ProTeKt is a silica supplement.
Correct me if I'm wrong but my bag looks like the newer version where Calmag supplement isn't required because it's been added in?
That's correct. Though some growers using RO water might find they have a need for additional cal-mag.

I'm sorry to ask what might be a dumb question, but isnt 6 a low P value for flowering? I thought they needed more than that.
Haha I like that.. but nah I’ll prolly just stick to the basics to get a feel for the MC... maybe I’ll experiment with one plant. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hey guys, my batch of MC came in and I’m excited to use it. Before I go gung-ho with this shit on my garden I got some questions if the experts wouldn’t mine helping me. Bare with me as I’m pretty sure these questions have been answered already...
1. How early should I start feeding the seedlings? ..(right away or when I see 1st or 2nd set of true leaves?
2. What is the feeding schedule like for DWC in RO water? (like do I give a dose of MC everyday, every other day... once a week?) ... if it helps answer the question I do fresh res changes once a week or week and a half.
3. I’m definitely using hydroguard with MC. But will using any other bennies help at all? Just curious as I have left over nutrients from previous runs..either great white or tarantula is what I have laying around... tarantula has always been some good shit for me
thank you for reading through my gibberish and having the patience to answer my questions.
@MrFeelGood Happy growing. MFG the bag of MC is moisture sensitive. I left my small sample bag open after using it. And, forgot about it. When, I saw that it was open it was all gwee and wet.
D'oh!!
I'll keep this in mind as I flower those three plants in 5 gallon geopots....in Pro Mix.
I run 5 gallon pots with Pro-Mix/Faux-Mix®. I normally flip at 35-40 days though. I have a smaller tent so I can't fit big pots with the number of plants I usually run, plus I don't have lot of headroom for really big plants. For autos, 5 gallon pots are a great size since they have a limited life span.
I flipped on day 48. I may be ok.
This is my second grow with the MH changed to the 1000w from the 600w mh. The MC grow is larger than the straight 1000w thru the 35 days ! Went back and got the pic from that grow .

@West Hippie, I just can't get over how lush your plants are. What are they called? Did you clone them? Are you going to train them? You probably shared all this earlier, my memory is bad. I'm shopping for auto next month. I want a Indica mostly. I looked into Seedman and found many of seeds and at decent priced. 
The dinky on in the back left is a Dosidos , it’s the perfect candidate for dwc ! The other three are white widow clones . I have them wired down trying to spread them out .@West Hippie, I just can't get over how lush your plants are. What are they called? Did you clone them? Are you going to train them?

Going to give up the RO water. MC with my RO water I started at 5.1PH. I was adding 1.5 ml of PH up (soluble potash) 0-0-45. After mixing up the well water batch it leveled out at at 6.5. I can start to see a mag issue starting so I would rather try and drop the RO water before adding more stuff not made by GLN.
