The Mega Crop Thread

[LKABudMan]

Thank you. Wasn't sure if maybe one had a benefit over the other I believe one is more vitamins with minerals and natural products and one has more sulfates and phosphates among other ingredients. Sweet Candy for more of an organic grow IMHO.

Sweet candy for soil (it has soil conditioners) and bud explosion for coco/hydro. I have both and only use the SC in soil or my outdoor garden.

the newer versions are a bit more resilient to moisture, I think the one you had was from 2019? I forget, there have been a lot of messages in here.

regardless of purchase date and no matter the discussion, i will never be happy about my mega crop turning itself to shit. full stop.

Bluter while that may be your experience you are not everyone and you don’t speak for everyone. And from what I read, the vast majority disagree with you and are super happy with the product. And have no trouble storing it.

It’s okay you aren’t happy with your product. It’s okay you don’t want to buy the product again, it’s not okay to be rude about it, especially since the Mega Crop reps have been so polite in their replies to you.

I love Mega Crop! I actually paid over $100au just for the postage. It’s legit the only product I use.

I understand. Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (15.5-0-0 19% Ca) is one of the fundamental ingredients for all hydroponic nutrients, and by nature is unstable. So part of it will never be solvable fully in order to have an open air/stable hydroponic dry fertilizer, that lasts long term exposed. However, as mentioned, our newer formulas are more stable/resistant, and also our new bags are higher quality and have better seals to prevent this.


Also just to clarify, I believe and understand what you are saying. We had tons of bags here that were left partially opened from back then that "liquefied" into the brown sludge, so I know its a thing. Generally for those bags, we would use it for our tomato gardens each year. The nutrients are all there, they are just kind of sludged up. Once you dissolve into water they function mostly normally.

i'm not purporting to speak for anyone but myself and my experience. i never said i hated the product. read the thread maybe. i'm probably it's largest booster. look at page 1.

i'm happy you have had no issues.

It’s okay you aren’t happy with your product. It’s okay you don’t want to buy the product again, it’s not okay to be rude about it, especially since the Mega Crop reps have been so polite in their replies to you.

i politely disagree.
and i never said i did not want to buy the product again.

i did state it was an issue that should be addressed or at least acknowledged.

the rep essentially replied by suggesting it was the fault of my storage practices. i'm not buying that excuse.

I love Mega Crop! I actually paid over $100au just for the postage. It’s legit the only product I use.

congrats. it's all i've used for the last 5+ yrs as well. i hope it continues to serve you well.

at least you acknowledge it. that's something i guess.

i also understand that it is old product. it was stored in the best of conditions that i could provide, but it is still a loss.

again, the condition it was delivered in was questionable. the bag was ripped and wet. it was the 9kg bag. i lost a fair amount before ever getting to use it. not just what i lost recently. it is part of why this pisses me off.

other than that it is a fantastic nute and the most cost effective system out there.

Generally for those bags, we would use it for our tomato gardens each year. The nutrients are all there, they are just kind of sludged up. Once you dissolve into water they function mostly normally.

i will also try not to waste it. however it can't be used in the manner i need to grow cannabis. that sucks no matter how it's cut.

edit: ftr @Greenleaf Nutrients - after getting rid of what was ruined in delivery the rest was divided into airtight containers and has always been stored that way.

storage information should be included on your website and packaging to help others avoid this issue. although it would not have made a difference from what i can tell here.

my pops is dropping a 2.5 gal container with the remnants. i'll post a pic when i see it's condition.
