No,
megacrop 6g/gal
Emerald harvest calmag 50ml/44gal only at res change
Mammoth p, at a little less than 0.6ml/gal just use the little squeeze measure thing and fill that up says 25ml.
I add back at 1/8 strength, I let my EC drop from 1.6 to 1 and then it gets changed and right back to 1.6. I could add back more, stronger but I think the schedule I’m on now is working ok.

Do you feel that mega crop lacks calcium and magnesium? Have you noticed issues when you don't supplement cal/mag?

Growing outdoors, I had no issues with Ca or Mg in Mega Crop. When I started under 3000k quantum boards, however, I started seeing signs of Mg deficiency. That was with the old formula, with the new formula, I'm not seeing any issues at all. I supplement my feed with Recharge once a week, otherwise it's straight Mega Crop in tap water.
I just wanted to add my experience, not trying to answer for @dstroy.

My two bean pole lemon crashes. I was gonna let them veg a bit longer but fuck it. I threw them in the flower tent and will cut a clone off each to run again.

I've had pretty much the same experience as socaljoe. I've only had mag def from switching to cobs.

Do you find that you need to supplement with cal-mag or mag sulfate? I just flipped to 12/12 last night and am concerned about having an ugly deficiency crop up as they start stretching...thinking about getting ahead of the 8-ball and just adding a bit of cal-mag now before I have an issue.
The things to learn with indoor... When I was adding cal-mag to my outdoor grow, I actually caused a lockout due to an abundance of calcium...at least that's what my research led me to, and when I cut the cal-mag things straightened out.

I just needed a little extra with the old formula, I have about 30# of the old stuff left before I buy the new formula. Yes, I would see the ca rust spots, here and there without calmag.

LOL socaljoe. You just described my grow. It's been an interesting re-entry here to the indoor gig. Just about everything I could do wrong I seem to have done...and then...shit happened I couldn't control...
New spot. Have done 5 years of OD here....but gave the indoor a rest after over 25 years of perpetual/cash cropping/etc.
My first fuck up was using coco. Never has been my thing...my go to...or a medium I've ever had a non-probelmatic grow in. But like a dumbass...I had a bag of Mother Earth...and in they went.
Second fuck up....I've always used the creek to water my ganja. This year its frozen over...so I started hauling jugs down from the kitchen/well. Stupid me...failed to check pH.....and at 8....and with the coco...things started to go whacky after a few weeks. Got a tester...some pH down....and started chasing that shit (something else I hate to do/why I avoid coco)).... I did get things kinda sorta back in the zone....but yeah....by then...shit looked pertty rough across the board. Green...yellow...brown...Some selections stretched and did the beanpole....especially after I started to (I think) get the ph inline. Due to the stretch...I was then forced to prop the shorter ones up on other containers/etc. to attempt to get a somewhat even canopy.
Fortunately...the focus of this grow was merely to go through the new seeds I've purchased to check stability/end product to make some decisions as to what to run outside this coming Summer. I'm certainly not needing pot. Good thing!. In the "stability" Dept.....I definitely gave em all some torture....and I'm happy to say....no funny biz has reared it's head. Was kinda worried after some of the CT reports/etc.
Then the real "fun" arrived. A few weeks after the flip.....I went in for a colonoscopy. I broke my back in thr 90's....and was addicted for years to Oxy due to that injury. Over time I've avoided surgery///kicked the narcs....and basically have come to a place where I can exist...on most days...without >too much< pain. It's been about 10 years since I had "an event". Unfortunately....when they knocked me out and i was FULLY relaxed...which I never do....they tweeked my old injury. For 4-5 days after the procedure...I couldn't stand up without using a chair in front of me to assist....and even then it was mega painful. Like lightning striking my back. The wife was out of town....the grow is 100 ft down the hill.... and for a good week...it was all I could do to carry 2 jugs down and bend over far enough to haphazardly get some water on em. Seriously not fun. (for any of us) I mean....10 minutes + to walk 100 ft....it was crazy shit.
Then...a few days later... my golden retreiver went down. 12 years old...had a good run......but wow.....just what I needed when I could barely move. It was quite the scene...him trying to walk off the embankment into the creek...me screaming in pain at every movement and trying to head him off.... it was insane on all levels
Wife comes home a week later. Brings the flu with from the family back home. I go down for 10 fuckin DAYS. Had a foot of snow in the middle of it allI had to shovel out...and I thought I was gonna die. Again...the plants just got water tossed on em every few days in an attempt to keep em alive.... leaves curling brown....rainbow colors....buds coming on.....body just not cooperating at all. All I could do was water em and go...YIKES....
So basically...it was a month that all HELL broke loose.....and the grow suffered bigly due to it....and my stupidity early on with the pH.
It IS an fucking amazing plant though....cus there's a timeline there that they are gonna meet....one way or the other. Thankfully...the MITES didn't come...LOL.
All of this will get squished into rosin anyway....and it is offering me a peek at the >possibilities< with some of these selections. I have another round up and coming....NOT in coco....so hopefully I can eeek out something this go around that doesn't look like I'm a total noob. I'm on the fence whether pics are needed...LOL.... but thought I'd detail the grow just the same cus I did so when my OD was rockin'. I figure I gotta detail it all...not just the good stuff.. Either way...I can say that this grow is certainly one of my worst....heehee. Again though....glad I'm not depending on this for $$$ and it's all for FUN.
FWiW....plants are Round 1.... LA Affie (1)....Cheap Thrills (3)....Scarlett Johanssen (2)....Tally Mon (3) Hyper Sally Cookies (1)
Round 2.... Scarlett (2)....Purple cheddar (2).....Six Star (4)....California cherries (2)...might be another....blanking out...
Round 3....Forest Park Purple (2)....Beach wedding (1).... Cherry alien Glue Punch (3) Alien glue tonic (3).... (did 3 BW but the rooters dried out during the flu bout and 2 didn't pop. Fuck me)
Still buying seeds i don't need....LOL....but you guys know how that shit is........ have some HUrkle coming from a friend as well....so I think one of thoise will get an OD run cus I've yet to hear a bad report on it. Either way.....the gig now will be how to hold off and not end up with 40 plants (like 2 seasons ago...LOL)....cus wow.....I don't think i've ever had this many new seed selections at one time...
onward through the fog...

Final CV grow report. 5 ELL plants. 1 ELL thru nanner's at 6 weeks and i tossed that one. The other 4 look fine maybe 3 different pheno's out of 5 plants. Wonderful smell lemon creamy with some after shave cream thrown in there. The ELL had significant stretch. 3 Arcata Ghost plants. 1 of the 3 thru nanner's at 8 weeks. I am just cutting them off and hoping they are sterile.No trouble out of the other two. 2 different pheno;s on this one. 1 did not stretch that much and looked just like the one on the web page. The other two were pretty stretchy. I am not saying the nanner's are from genetics or stress. The fact is i just don't know. Anyhow here are some shots from the closet. Any purple looking plants are GP Jelly Pie

I have one lemon crasher outgrowing the TK91's. Crazy, got a lemon stem rub, has to be the lemon crashers,big, buds forming are even big, compared to similar tall plants. the banana kush has more of a smooth plantain funk and TK91 have their own funk. Labels all come off so its a guessin game. Don't think I got but one of Amos's NYC Copper, got three of the green mustaches free sampler pack that was hulk boogers/radioactive snot, and those under a blurple are the frostiest plants so far. I can't explain it, it is what it is. But I think I got that lemon crasher picked out, she's a stretchin monster, but everything bout her is big. Should be dandies imho.

When I switched to cobs I was aware of the mag def issue. They only ran for about ten days before I started seeing a need for mag, I considered a few options and decided to buy a gallon of calimagic. I think it was @HydroRed that told me he was using 2ml pg, that's where I started and it cleared up the mag def pretty quick. No issues yet, I'm kinda stringing these plants along right now waiting for clones, so I haven't kicked everything into high gear yet.
To add.... I don't see a need for more calcium in MC, but like I said, the extra bit I'm adding hasn't caused any problems.

What are the cal/man ratios on the old formula? The new batch is 5.6 and 2.3%

So sorry to hear about all your recent struggles. Hopefully, life has some good times ahead to balance out all the pain.
Impressive that you kept so many plants alive with the bad back. I've seen you grow monsters and no doubt that is what's coming!

I don’t know, I’d just try the new stuff on its own and see if I needed to supplement. I’ll know in about a year or so when I need to buy more. I bought a large quantity (for me anyway) of the old formula before they changed it, when I heard they were going to change it, just in case. Now I’ve got a year to watch grows with the new MC.
