The Mega Crop Thread

Old Salt said:
It meets my criteria of being easy to use, low cost, and good for the plants. Beyond that, at this point I'm unconcerned with the theory behind it. It's the same mentality that most folks that drive have. They don't know how an internal combustion engine works, just that it does.

For sure, to each their own. At the end of the day if it works for me ill use it whether I have it figured out or not. But I am curious and like to learn. Just like how I leaned how an internal combustion engine works ;)...well for the most part
 
Fed roughly 3.5gr/gallon MC today, ive grinded the balls in a coffee grinder so all is very fine. However, when mixing in a red pail after stirring it for about 30 seconds i still noticed the fine pieces of what im assuming are the balls not dissolving. I stirred it some more and let it sit for about 10 mins and it went away. Point im making is just double check the little balls have fully dissolved before you feed your girls! Only noticed because of the red pail else i dont think i would have noticed.

I don’t think this means that it isn’t a salt based product

MegaCrop has the same salt-based ingredients as other nutes (nitrates, phosphates, and sulfates), but like Felipe mentioned, they are chelated with amino acids rather than EDTA. For anyone looking for information on chelating or salt-based nutrients, @farside05 did a great write up on it here.

I don't see any references specifically to the PH of the water or nutrients though.

Searching the scientific and academic research on pH and plants, you will almost never find a reference to the pH of the water. They refer to the pH of the substrate. You will notice in the article you linked, the reference is always to soil pH.

MegaCrop is a little different - it uses amino acid chelation.

I owe @FelipeBlu one, aparantly as Shed mentioned using amino acids to bind instead of EDTA makes a difference. EDTA is not absorbed and can be toxic to the medium, amino acids are absorbed and beneficial.

That's fine! I just don't want everyone checking out this thread to think that there is a consensus about "the recommended pk booster."
 
Day 24 for these ladies. Upped to 4.5g yesterday, expect to be at 5 very soon especially for the White Rhino. I've been supercropping the heck out of them, or trying to, branches are like solid hard rubber or something, they are right back upright within a couple hours with barely a sign I pinched them pretty much as hard as I could.

When I have a supercrop that won't stay flat, I unbend a paperclip a bit, put a binder clip on the bottom, and hook the top over the bent branch. The thicker the branch the bigger the binder clip! Keeps them just where you want them.
 
That works too with a gentle touch!
 
ok,, enuf of them shenanigans,, this is REAL drama,,

some pics of my mega crop plants,, now,, none of em have been mega only plants,, as i have only been into the crop crap meself for a few weeks now,,

but i have never had such healthy looking plants,, so impressed

the first two are lemon haze / afghani crosses of some mixture

P1170715.JPG


this one a mini, dif plant, same genus,, oh so pointy and proper,, ha

P1170715.JPG

this one a dope seeds dr. cbd. never have i had buds like this,, this i see in others pics, but never my plants,, till now,, ha

halfway thru flower maybe,, and a bit pale,, i will up the ph a bit next feed

P1170717.JPG


a blueberry,, simply the most impressive buds i have grown yet,, each plant is a new best for me these days,, so fun

the bluberry is quite pale,, and has been since before mega crop,, it is very near done,, tho only 56 days in flower,

i have absolutely noticed plants maturing a bit faster these days,, better conditions lately i presume,,

P1170718.JPG


my plants are so much bigger as well,, just growth galore,, a growfest indeed

and last,, tho i have other plants,, a honduras/ mama thai cross,, this one will be interesting indeed. this seed has @Weaselcracker to thank for it's existence,, cheers friend


P1170719.JPG


this one just put to flower,, and showing some, as @bluter puts it,, which i really like btw,, bluter says it pulls from the lower leaves, creating indicative rust spots on the leaves,, well, i gots some rust spots here,, but upped the dose, so will fix it with science

thanks friends,, excuse all the pics,,
