full MEGAcrop line review and fertilizer debate

[Alpo1327]

Has anyone tried Greenleaf nutrients , mega crop , sweet candy , bud explosion , graviton . That’s what I have used my last 4 grows and I have such good results that I never thought of changing . They chelate there nutrients with amino acids not that EDTMor what ever it is.They also use multiple forms of each nutrient. I think seven forms of NP and K plus all the macro and micro and minerals vitamins kelp extract , enzymes ALL the goodies that are to numerous to name and hard to get allll in one bag in the right amount for most strains.Also there amino acid technique of breaking down or chelating there nutrients has all but stopped any nute burn or deficiency problems I prob should of had .With other products my constant tinkering with ratios is what kept my plants on the edge , the fine line of having almost to much ferts but little enough not to burn the crop. I know less is more but I am the guy who loves tinkering and pushing my crop . Mega crop is less harsh on plants but has better results in my opinion, I tried fox farm and AN ,and there fine , they grow great healthy plants . But Mega crop has taken all the guess work out .

Now I have been using this stuff for over a year with great results ,I was just wondering if maybe there’s something better that I should know about or maybe a brand to try . What’s your recipe????


I used mega crop all purpose at 4 grams per gal . Than 5 grams per gal once they grew some leaves and alternate using megazyme and kelp extract. I bump to six per gallon for the stretch and than 2-3 weeks in cut to 3 grams a gallon along with bud explosion and sweet candy . I allow 2 weeks for a flush , I got s bud hardener this run , gravatron by green leaf , it’s similar to humboldt own gravity. Am I being lazy by not mixing my own ferts ?? Am I missing out ?? Is there a better fert for cannabis??? I got great lights , good circulation and temp . What’s everyone’s fav soil inoculant? Urb , mammoth p? Great white???? I use some stuff doctor earths pure gold , it is a 2-2-2 with micorihzaeee and tons of bacteria species. I’m rambling, I’m out 😑...PS... I would like to talk to someone with years of experience growing to bounce some questions off . If someone is willing to text or talk I would appreciate it . Only call if you know your shit , I want knowledge , not just conversation.

I've asked and asked and have never got an answer. How PH stable is Megacrop? Mixed in a DTW rez does the PH move over a 7 day period.

Sorry cemchris, I have no idea what you mean by pH moving during a 7 day period. I'm into my second year with megacrop and love it, I also use sweet candy with my feedings. As far as pH, I find the mixture of megacrop and my ground water to be around "5.6", so I use a pH up to get closer to "6.0" to "6.5" for the more mature plants.

I have a question for you, Am I wasting my time with flushing the plants before going into harvest when using megacrop? Reason for this question, I've experimented a little this year and one of my crops (Green Crack) I harvested without flushing and when I tasted it, compared to another plant of Green Crack that was flushed, I could tell no difference in harshness or taste.

I use the gh flora line. Never had problems in 10+ years

Meaning if you mix up a rez and don't touch it does the PH move.

Mixed opinions on riu about that.

And after marketing their new all in one including additives fertilizer they still went and started selling boosters and additives.

Fuckin’ nute companies. ;-)

Flushing is a long drawn out debate. If you saw no difference between doing it and not then I wouldnt. No reason to starve your plants before you chop them. I usually flush rockwool since it has a little nutes in the cube plus fading them a little. Anytime i messed with soil plants i never flushed them.

Oh ill prob never use it. Was maybe thinking about it for outside veggie garden. Just asking cause its a nice chunk of info to have when buddies asking about nutes. Slowly but surely getting all of them off the bottle diet. Something that doesnt stay ph stable in a res and claims to be hydro friendly *cough* veg+ bloom *cough* I always stay away from.

"Fuckin’ nute companies. ;-)" lol bro don't even get me started. "HAVE YOU TRIED CONGOS>>>>>>>{}SL:OJSKJGWIUKHGWOIUHW"

I'm thinking it may have something to do with MegaCrop feed, anyway I probably flush but not 2 weeks before chopping, more like a few days before chopping so the roots will drink pure water, I read somewhere that roots eat at night whereas the leaves eat during the day.

n the package it sais that it is great for decent and aero because it is so ph stable . I have seen someone else do a side by side and it out grew advanced nutrition , most companies put a lot of one type of a nutrient . This stuff is made to be all in one and have multiple forms of each nutrient, enzymes , kelp extract, b vitamins, chitosan, all kinds of stuff . You should check out the site, it’s a lot cheaper .

I do always flush but my out door plants got pulled early due to rain and had no flush at all and it’s great , I notice no difference in flavor but to be safe I let my plants turn yellowish and do a 2 week flush . It’s just habit but maybe not needed.

I have also used there line and had great results, there def top 5 but I would chose mega crop over any other fertilizer. I have grown nothing but jaw dropping plants sense I got the stuff. They even do a free sample so ppl will try it , cuz if you do than you will prob be a repeat.

 

[Buzzer777]

I have been running old formula Megacrop for over a year (soil)..Indoors and outdoors,,When my supply is gone, I have a sac of the new formula as well. Recently added their PK boost to replace what I was using..I am quite satisfied with the results.

 

[cemchris]

So no one knows how ph stable it stays over the course of days after it gets mixed up? I'm not looking for what they claim. Ive asked and asked and never got an answer still.

You make me still wish I was running the cut the Grandpa's Breath I had.

I've used it in soil with great results, no additional boosters needed although I also used PK boost in flower. I mix up with pH ~8.2 tap water and comes out around pH 6.2-6.5 when done (this is mid/late flower concentration). Following day or two the mix seems to rise to pH 7-7.2ish, this is approximately 800ppm final on 0.5 scale after mixing with approximately 110ppm tap water. Tap water is buffered with CaCO3 which may have something to do with pH rising after a day but not positive. I bring it back down with pH down and it stays consistently solid after that.

Its Ph stable . I use it in my RDWC, I don't see myself changing to any other nutrient because I really have no need. I do add a tiny bit of PK (mono potassium phosphate) and some Mg sulfate I have the original version same as @Buzzer777 uses. If doing RO you may want to add back some carbonate or bicarbonate but I don't need to tell you that
