greenleaf megacrop

FYI. The quote below was posted by GLN rep.

+++++++++++++++++
"we are doing 1 more change in about 3-6 months, and planning to make it pure powder. This seems to be a much bigger issue that a lot of indoor smaller growers were complaining about (mixture of balls and powder and perception of getting uneven mixture). So with pure powder formula you can use extremely small doses and not have to worry about uneven mixture."

++++++++++++++++

should I trust the label on my bag or the one on the site?
Just got the bag a few weeks ago and the GA says 9/6/17 where the label on the site is 9.5/7/18
Which is correct, or are do we know if either is?

The image below is from the GLN website as the current recipe. I received a sample bag months ago of v3, bag had old recipe printed. Visibly different from 2.0.

This is what I got. I ordered it right after you posted about the 1000g promo. Has what I guess is the old label on the bag. My other bucket is still original version, if this is 2.1 I never saw the 2.0 version.
This wont be enough to finish this crop so trying to decide more MC or switch

GLN calculator dealio. Elementals for 1gram per gallon.

That has the mini sparkles - that confirms it's not 2.0.

I think GLN officially calls the latest V3. V2.1 = V3.

Doesn't dissolve worth a shit compared to the original version. I have to mix it in 3x as much water to get it to mix in well vs V1.
V1 I could mix up 3-400g at a time and im having to do it like 100g at a time now. System is half the size it was last time so maybe it wont be so annoying but its still 65 gallons so idk.

GLN should have an option to choose which version you are using..if they are going to change every 6 months..i feel like we are Guinea pigs.

All those weed fertilizer companies are cowboys.
Most of them have no clue what they are doing. So, yes we are their Guinea pigs.
They just copy stuff from the 'real' companies.
Or they buy it from other companies, repack it and sell it for double, triple or even more.

I am too stupid to make my own, but I know some guys who do. They save tons of money.

I’m using mega crop as a top dress and it seems to keep my plants green and happy

I just bought MC, Sweet Candy, and Cal Mag. I’m currently dissolving in water but would like to use as top dressing. I’d appreciate any advice you have

It's supposed to be dissolved in water silly.

I just noticed on their website that they changed the Sweet Candy and Bud Explosion as well.
I'm using V2 of the MegaCrop (I think) that still has the white balls in it. If the new version gets rid of the white balls and everything is powdered...I'll be happy with that.

I want everything powdered for the new mc would be very nice those balls are just annoying taking a while to dissolve and clumping

Updated with new Sweet numbers. It's becoming more of a PK booster, with sweeteners.

Bummer their calmagpro is so dang high in N in relation to the amount of CA. I use cal-nit and/or calimagic.

These are approximate ppm breakdowns, per gallon, per ml/gr.

Think I found my ferts in MC. Got my plants looking lovely.. Easy to measure and use... Can't ask for anything better... Week 2 of flower...

I dissolve mine in a 15 gallon container with a pond pump at the bottom. I usually leave it for 10-20 minutes to dissolve. When I don't hear the white balls bouncing around I know it's good to go. Leave the balls. Lol. What are those balls anyway?

I think those are calcium pellets. I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
I only mix 3-4 g at a time. I just use a 5 gallon pail and slotted spoon. I usually let it sit for a few minutes and stir it up again and it mixes pretty good.
I've be thinking about buying a cheap magnetic stirrer and making a strong base liquid. Might still try that option.

I suspect the balls are cal-nit.

At the chemical level, I suspect it may be a good thing for the balls to dissolve slower than everything else. To prevent precip...fallout...yada.

Seems there would be more 1-parts on the market given the growing audience.

LED lights makes your plants use more mag?
If so, why?

White LEDs. I have to run epsom from when I transfer them to the flower tent under the LED. If I dont add it on top of my calmag, they show it pretty hard within a week or two.
