The Mega Crop Thread

This is what it looks like after I left some open in a covered plastic shed for 24 hours:

And it stunk too!
 
Do you live in a more humid place than others? That MC sure is hydrophilic...I have many clumps of balls forming if I don't close the bag immediately after getting scoop out.
I use a quart or half quart jar (mason jar and lid) and use that as a refiller. My MC bag is tightly sealed then placed in a 5gal bucket with lid. No problemo! :cheesygrinsmiley:
Oh, I have 9kgs tho. It comes packaged differently I do believe.

I seal it all up in pint (500ml) Ball/Mason/Bernardin jars as soon as I get it home. Wipe the rims with dry paper towel before closing, and it lasts in my climate.
 
Ahh...sour cream container here. Give her a lil stir every milk jug and Robert is your Mother's Brother.
 
I don't even use calmag until I first start seeing roots in my cloner... all they need is water as it is not like they can take advantage of any nutes until the root nodules show up. Whomever told you they need nutes to throw out roots was blowing smoke at you.
You are no doubt stalling because there are no nutes at the point that they really need them. Once you have roots, start feeding.... not calmag.. .but real food with N in it. Clonex is also not a nute... it is a hormone.
And yes, invest in a light meter... too much light can really hurt young plants. I adjust my light intensity about every 3 days while in veg and as the plants are getting closer to the light.
I wanted to reply I may mis spoke. I wasn’t talking about cloning gel, but cloning solution. according to the bottle and website it isn’t just hormone. It has nitrogen p&k and vitamin b1 for stress and a few more so I’m confused with it still ?

no worries. can do the same thing with a super weak cal-mag and nute solution.
they are clones. take many. survival of the fittest.... :cheesygrinsmiley:


current MC storage idea...




coconut oil jar. infuse a lot of oils and these work great. got the 10 kg bag, initially stored it in a quarter bucket from the orange store. fit perfect. divvied it up into the coconut jars to share it out between the grow spaces.


just finished chopping the girls up for training.... have to go into deep therapy now... :bongrip:

yeah, I've got the small 26oz bag just for starters...surely will be buying another batch next grow season.
 
Happy ladies being fed MegaCrop and yesterday was their first dose of BudExplosion!

Those are coated in crystals! Like someone took a bag of sugar and poured it on the buds. Amazing! :thumb: :thumb: :lot-o-toke:

What version of MC are you using?
 
Hey 420, ... I was just over at @Dutchman1990 's journal and I am trying to get the numbers right ...

I plan on using MC and BE next round and I came up with this ...

6g / gal 9-6-17 MC
1g / gal 0-16-39 BE

54-52-141 ... 1-1-2.7

And we want either 2-1-3 or 2-1-4 ... did you guys decide on this yet? Maybe 2-1-4 is for bloom?

Do these number imply that we need to add 1 N?

What happens if we feed at a lower N? Will the plant yellow and maybe cannibalize?

2-1-3 has been my desired Veg ratio, and 2-1-4 for Bloom. I'm playing with 1-1-3 this round for Bloom, but using Terpinator instead of BE. You just don't want that N to K ratio to go over 1:3 or you risk lockout. You should be good at 1:2.7.

The ratios are only part of the story. To get an idea if the plant will canniabalize itself or yellow, you'd need to calculate the Nitrogen load. Your 6g of Mega has plenty of N to keep it green, about 150ppm. Light feeding plants are ok around 90ppm, your average plant is probably gonna run about 120-150ppm, real heavy feeders may go 170ish.

Currently using v2 but just purchased more yesterday so I should be getting v3 next?

My feed mix for this run looks like this:
Week 1 - 5.50 (MegaCrop)
Week 2 - 5.75
Week 3 - 6.00
Week 4 - 6.25 / .5 BE
Week 5 - 6.25 / 1.00BE
Week 6 - 6.25 / 1.00 BE
Week 7 - 6.00
Week 8 - 5.50 to harvest

I will be playing with these numbers next round to really dial in my feeds and maximize my ladies true potential!

I also intend to add SweetCandy to the mix eventually once I am happy with my BE levels!

I like the simplicity, and low cost of stand alone Mega Crop. The only thing marring that, is that I have to add 1ml CALiMAGic for every 15gms of Mega Crop for a coco/perlite grow under LEDs.
