Ok, i'll measure by weight also. However, it does say on the bag to use 1 full scoop for 3.5 gallons in full bloom...Are they referring filling to the line?

Filling the scoop to the line is 20g,so that's about right if you want to feed 6g/gal.
My bad, g not mg. At least with my spoons and scale, 1/8 tsp is 1g.
New RO should fix that shit right up.
Speaking of which, how hard is it to go from an RO tube to a 1/2" threaded float valve?
The short of it? A pain in the ass. Major, at that. I think I have 4 diff connectors, if not 5.

My dad always had a 4 letter explative that went before Plumbing. It started with an F. I've carried on his tradition.
There’s nothing better than a nutrient that likes to rise for the occasion . I like to bump it down and watch it come back up . Last time my ph went south there was a major problem. Finally started another MC grow , will post a link later . 3 widows and a Do-si-dos.
I'd like to hear what the MC folks have to say about the recommended pH in hydro, even though I don't do it. I know the Dyno Gro folks recommend a higher pH, like 6.2 for stability, even in hydro.
I have a mother plant in dwc with ro water , 20 grams MC in 4 gallon. The ro ph is 7.2-7.3 and the MC goes to 6.1-6.2 each nutrient change . I left it there Monday and by Wednesday check was 6.5 so I just brought it back to 6.0 and this morning was 6.2 so it slows down once I used acid to bring the ph down !
Definitely liking your info , even the gh calmag brings the ph down a little. Used it on the last MC grow.
My advanced nutrients alway took me to 5.5-5.6 which there sweet spot is 5.6 .

i find ph'ing with ro and MC to be super finicky. been taking less than a drop to kick it down a couple notches in 6L ro with 5.5g MC
Here's a couple note I've found perusing the MC website. One regarding pH, indirectly, and one regarding supplements.
So from the above, it notes that, "You may want to add some pH adjuster to make sure the nutrient solution being delivered to the plants is between 5.5-6.5 pH for best absorption [...]"
Effectively, normal hydro range.

did not ramp up MC fast enough on the seedlings..
the plants outpaced me and required more faster on the MC than i was used to. they will do ok, but it is a valuable lesson to learn for the future.
at 5.5g MC / 6L RO.
was ramping between seedling and veg. they could handle full veg now which is about a g more.
gonna transplant within 48hrs and go to full veg strength.
working on a full update over at my journal.

I’m thinking about another half gram on Monday’s water and nutrients change. At five grams here .
Here’s the MegaCrop thread I started ,round 2 with MegaCrop and round 5 with 420. 420’s 3 White Widow & a Do-si-dos Hydro F&D 600w mh 1000w hps MegaCrop Grow
So I punked out guys added some cal today they ladies def was In need of some
Not surprised at that. Them Big AF LED's will do that to ya, especially once they're cranked up.
Right so I ran mc all the way till now still a plus love the simplicity of running mc
Exactly. I've been giving the @farside05 schedule (MC + a little silica and calmag) and it's been good so far. A minor hiccup, but that was probably more from the input to the promix being a high pH. Won't be an issue any more with the RO.
Yup I’ve though of adding some silica also idk yet
