MegaCrop Old vs New Side-by-Side

• Lighting: Custom built 3000K and 3500K Vero29 SE COBs totaling about 820 watts.
• Medium: DWC in 5 gal buckets
• Sprouting Method: Soak and Paper towel
• Light Schedule: 18/6 veg, 12/12 flower
• Seeds: 4x Grandaddy Purple, 4x Cookies N Chem
• Nutrients:
  • MegaCrop old formula for 2 of each strain.
  • MegaCrop new formula for 2 of each strain.
  • No other nutrients will be used for this since it is purely about comparing the two formulas
• Conditions:
  • No soaking of seeds in anything other than water.
  • No supplementing of any nutrients outside of MC.
  • No change in lighting methods or schedules outside of flip to flower.
  • Seeds are regular photoperiod non-fem seeds. If males pop up, they may be grown for pollen, but will be removed from the comparison.
  • If at least three of each strain is not female, the grow may be cancelled since it is too close to phenotype differences to count as a real comparison.

I am starting a new side-by-side grow to compare the old MegaCrop formula to the new one. I hope I have enough of the old formula to make a full comparison, but we will see.

I just got Mega Crop free sample in the mailbox, today... I had to give the product a try, seeing as if it works the price cannot really be beaten... we'll see how my current grow goes augmenting with mega crop... 11 little babies in the early stages presently...

Not knockin anything,but i think using the same plant/clone across the board would be a little better for a "new vs old" run myself.

I'll still be watching regardless.
