HydroRed's Horticultural Whorehouse

Just some insider info, Mega Crop is or wil be considered organic hydro under the new laws that passed here.

I spent a great deal of time in the Netherlands and those cats are out producing us in food source by 20-30% in greenhouses. We in the US are more industrial Ag. What they grow for food crops in hydro chemicals is not considered organic there but it is here.

Sorry Red for the derail, lots of good civil conversation here.

But it's a bag of processed chemicals with a tiny bit of seaweed and humic acid.

My understanding was we were lax with what is organic and Europe had it right.

Thanks for stopping in Lukio. I've been peeking in the secret garden as well.
So far so good with the Mega Crop.

Table #1 48 days since 12/12 & 50 days since transplant
Its smelling really good. Sweet and earthy, and has my carbon filter working overtime.
Had some purpling happen literally overnight (sorry, pics were taken through a pair of sunglasses).

hey red I'm a long time user of the gh 3 part nutes & my main bitch about them is mixing all the ingredients I've gotten used to the ph creeping upwards but in my old age I've gotten lazy I'm really liking the idea of 1 or 2 ingredients & feed I'm gonna do megacrop in one tent & gh floranova in the other & if I can do the megacrop a-z & get the same results or better it's gonna be the way I go I'm not sweating how legit the organic claims are I'm wanting something easy to use I'll be doing drain to waste in royal gold tupur in a 3 gal smart pot I did however buy their explosion bloom booster

Outside of PH adjusters the only one thing to have on hand is CalMag. I went into week 7 of flower and just started needing it. If that's the case a quart will last me a lifetime lol.

Sorry back to Reds epically clean grow .

I actually have experience with FloraNova Bloom and I have to say that Mega Crop is a cleaner mix in the res. Though it was some potent shit and worked well across the board as a stand alone, I always had high salts from the FN when used in a drip or flood system. I can see MC doing very well in a RDWC or drip system as with FN not so much.

fn has always been gritty & left residue I've used it in e&f as well as dwc with dripper (waterfarms) I was constantly having to clean my drip rings

I had the same issues with my drip ring system and FN.
I cant see that happening with MC honestly. I mixed the full 50g in one gallon first to see how well it dissolved before dumping it in the res. It breaks down like a really light colored tea with no granules or residuals at all. I barely have a salt line in my flood tables after a week+ of use.

I think I've got enough to do my grow as it's a single plant & it should really simplify things which is my main goal this could be just what I'm looking for it seems that newbies & experienced growers alike dig this stuff

It's definitely got simplicity on its side. We'll see how Mega Crop stacks up when the girls really get to bangin out some buds. Its done great on Nitrogen, but Im ready to see how its P&K values hold up once the girls start getting a little more demanding in flower.

The whole EU is tossing GMO crap under the bus. The Russians banned it years ago and the Chinese reject a lot of grains from the US if they have the slightest hint of GMOs in them. It's hard for even the most diligent organic grower to avoid having their crops contaminated by wind borne pollen from similar but genetically modified crops way down the road. Why do you think the big outdoor growers are happy to see hemp farming still illegal in most states? Imagine trying to grow good sensi when there are multi-thousand acres of hemp farms even 50 miles away. Clouds of hemp pollen can travel for hundreds of miles from big farms and really harsh your buzz. :)

AN has some new certified organic hydro nutes I'm dying to try but not available in Canada yet as far as I know. Seeing as how they started just 10 miles from where I used to live near Abbotsford, BC it should be here first! lol

I won a small bag of that mega crop but would cost to much to get it shipped from CA to northern Alberta so I passed. If it shows up on shelves here I'll give it a go tho.

:peace:
If you are outside if the states they said it cost the same to ship the big bag so if you won the small bag they would upgrade to the big bag for free. If I remember they said the shipping most anywhere wasn't that bad. Hit them up. You may be surprised.

I noticed the N is a bit high

I took cuts of the Black D.O.G. and the BubbleGummer tonight. Root Riot plugs and a dome tray for these cuts. I just recently started using my diy light in my momma room & I've never cloned under COB LED lighting so we'll see how this goes. Fingers crossed everything roots well or I'll be set back a week or more. I'll be chopping the Kosher Kush in about 12 days or so. Im planning to do a REG seed run pretty soon so I gotta free up space in the momma room along with some other arrangments since my grow rooms aren't really set up for vegging and flowering reg seeds runs.
Heres some "almost ready" and some "just starting" bud shots in the whorehouse.
