Just got my first batch of Megacrop thru Amazon and it's not quite what I expected. Is this what it normally looks like? Mostly granules with some rock hard nuggets and a side order of powder. It mostly dissolves in cold water, next time I'll try dissolving it in a liter or so of hot water before diluting to volume.

My bag is almost as chunky and granular...I found room temperature water works best ...I tried hot water and there was white flakes that wouldn't dissolve after shaking it in a LG Mason jar...hope that helps.

My bag arrived looking much the same. Tomorrow I'm hitting up a few thrift stores for either an old blender or coffee grinder, this way I can grind a bunch up and keep in an airtight container.

Hmmm mine sure doesn’t, it’s nice and consistent throughout with no lumps. I wonder if some old stock was shipped out ?

hi! Right now we are aware of this issue with about 10% of the bags from our last production run for the Mega Crop 1 Part in 3lb (1.3kg) bag size. Its not exactly normal, it means extra moisture/humidity got in the bag likely before it was sealed, causing these types of "cat litter clumps." The nutrients are still there and available 100%, but it needs to be dissolved around 6-10hours in water before it is released and broken up. So its a bit of an inconvenience yes and unfortunate, but shouldn't be a big issue.

If its a severe case (some are worse than others) and you purchased it for full price we can send you out a replacement for no cost. If you got it from a free-promo we are just telling people to kind of deal with it now. Also we are going to make sure this doesn't happen again in our production facility (stricter control on sealing the bags asap and packaging during dry conditions), which will probably be in early 2024.

Damn, I'm just impressed a company rep replied to my Forum post. I was just looking for a general consensus, actual info from the manufacturer is even better. Even with the slower dissolution I'm liking what I'm seeing. I think I'll be exploring more Greenleaf Nutrients in the future, thank you.

I love this stuff, even with 1/3 of it in unusable rocks it's still a great amount of nutrient for the money, I now use it as the backbone of all my feedings, for coco and soil, veg and bloom.

However, this is what my third bag from Amazon looks like. It's not as dry as the other two and has a different smell - is this what would be considered a severe case?

hi, I will send you out a new bag. Can you DM me your order #?

The cause of this is known, during production on this batch in 2022, it was excessively humid and a lot of moisture got into the bags before we could seal them. So basically about 15% of the 3lb bags from this batch will have this type of clumping, some more severe than others. We are replacing for free if anyone gets one. It still works, but its hard to work with. The best bet is to just dissolve the rocks into water overnight, and then you will get a concentrated liquid, but it will be harder do dose. You could dose based off EC/PPM.

Never had big chunks but I would break it down with a hammer and send it through a coffee mill burr grinder !

I do that anyway, don't care for the little balls

Auto's, day 62 from sprout with Mega Crop one part !

the update now is, Amazon lost around 1000 smaller units we had in Canada in July, and still can't find them. As for bigger sizes, we are starting to have those available, Part A 25lb already available, and 25lb BE/SC should be 1-2 days available.
