I'm a big fan of Mega Crop one part and ProMix HP !

Extra Cal/Mag and ph down are not necessary.....

I start feeding right away with 1g/gallon and roughly follow their feeding schedule right to harvest.

And yes, the leaves will stay green all the way ;)

I've only tried Bud Explosion sparingly and don't feel it worth the effort/$.

Their web site has a table where you can enter the amount of water you are mixing up and it will tell you how many grams per that amount and that stage of growth. I also watch for slight yellowing on the bottom fan leaves to tell me when they are ready for an increase in feed.

Also watch for leaf tip burn. If you see it your last increase may have been too early.

Some say if you don't have at least some leaf tip burn you are not trying hard enough :mrgreen:

Current grow on day 10 of 12/12 for a total of 51 days @3.6g/gallon...

BTW > my 25# bag had small balls in it, can't remember which element it was but I use a coffee mill grinder to incorporate them...

Those little white balls are nitrogen,when I use i just add to half amount of water then shake crazy and add remaining water seems to dilute better.

When I tested it, that's a question I asked. I don't think anyone answered. But that's good to know! Mega Crop is some good stuff.

It's alright and affordable but I believe there's mor affordable alternative if you're ready to chose minerals salts not marketed towards Cannabis growers.

I get Calcinit from Yara and next time I order a 55 pound bag I'll try Yara's Kristalon 7.5-5-30 that I'm able to source locally.


Did you end up running Maxibloom?

Cheers!

I've only ever used the one part and don't see the need for anything else...

I did try Bud Explosion a couple of times, once it did help one plant get over a small deficiency but otherwise waste of time and money.

Suggest you follow their feed chart, I'm usually pretty close to it...

Now at 5g/gallon, day 44 of a total of 85. The challenge of growing four different strains at a time ;)

Much props bro what you got going on right now is exactly what I got going on. Small grow to hone in on some skills I feel I need to master. I need to learn to manipulate the yield out of em. Looks like u got your system pretty well mastered I like it. And the genetics are pretty amazing too

The Hawaiian Snow tester was Very Encouraging, took enough small buds off the bottom to fill a bong bongsmilie

I was advised by a GL person when using MC1 you can use all the way through, but to cut the dose by 1/2 once in early flower and then use 1/2 of either Sweet Candy or Bud Explosion. Then after the first 2 weeks of flower to just use a 1/4 dose of MC1 and a full dose of either Sweet Candy or Bud Explosion through the remainder of the grow. This way the plant still gets a bit of nitrogen (which it needs) but not enough to affect the flavors of the plant. The issue I have is determining which to commit to either BE or SC? One has silica in it which I like and also molasses smell to it, which I believe is the Sweet Candy, and to me is also more micro organism friendly. I will probably forgo the BE this next grow. I also have never flushed a plant, and they have no heavy or dark ash.
