MC 2.0 doses?

[RivetGrrl]

It looks like the green leaf rep came in and dropped a link last night for the supplements feeding calculator:

https://greenleafnutrients.com/supplements-feeding-calculator/

Nice there is a supplements calculator now! I was using the calculator on their website for the MC and mixing it full strength for my photo gals. I'll see if there is any burn and adjust from there.
I've never put CalMag in first, but I've heard more than once to do so; I mix in 2.5 Gal buckets using cold water, agitate as they fill and add everything. pH after. I'll try adding CalMag first next time and then the MC gets measured and tossed i per usual.
I like slowandeasy's method of letting it sit, I'll see if the pH fluctuates as it was pretty stable with my other nutrient setup.

Ok @Greenleaf Nutrients, please respond to this post. I really appreciate the new Version. However, I literally wasted over half of it making a Concentrated liquid per your mixing instructions. I was not thrilled with how the Concentrated liquid mixed, but today I look inside the jug and it has MOLD in it. This has been in a 100% dark environment since the moment I mixed it up. I am not dissatisfied with the powder when mixed up into 3
Gal jugs. It takes a little time to dissolve, but that's ok. But wasting 400g of MC making a liquid Concentrate that gets mold and doesn't dissolve correctly kinda stinks. I did everything according to your email. Nobody needs to waste 400g like I did, I would not suggest it to anyone . Is there anyway I can get some powder to replace the wasted 400+g? I grow a lot of plants, that is why I wanted to make a Concentrated liquid.

On a VERY positive note. My Version 2 plant is vegging way faster than Version 1. The slow veg time is something I noted the very first time using MC version 1 back in the day.

MEGA CROP has organics in it, anything with organics can be used as a food source for microbes as they decompose the organic material. If you want to run sterile you could try to add a bit of bleach or chlorine in your concentrate then seal the container. You would want to make sure its off-gassed before you feed to your plants

You only need to add Calmag if you have a deficiency.

Since switching to hydroponics and LED I always get hit hard with deficiencies, I did this time again trying not using it so I'm adding it back. Thanks!

You never once said it would develope MOLD when I asked about making a Concentrated liquid . It is becoming Crystal clear that you guys are just making stuff up as you go along. Adding bleach or chlorine to nutes to organics will kill the organics. But why on Earth would I or anyone else want to do that? Why would you tell me to make a Concentrated liquid, if you knew it could MOLD? The advice I have been given by you and your customer service caused me to waste 400g of MC, you ignored my statement l, And instead tell me to add bleach. A quality company would apologize for giving bad advice. Then secondly they would offer to replace the wasted nutes. Anyone reading this, DO NOT make a Concentrated liquid. Anyone reading this, please us your EC meter and pH meters. If you make sure the strength and pH are good, it will work well. But if you trust the answers given by the customer service, I wish you the very best of luck.

I made up the concentrate with 1 liter of water and 50 grams of MC and have put the bottle in the fridge....so far so good . I do give the bottle a good shake every day before use though as some sediment does settle in the bottom of the bottle

no it only kills live biologicals which Mega Crop has none of. Btw even pure synthetic nutrients (like Jack's or Maxibloom) can get mold as a liquid since the EDTA chelates are organic molecules. That being said, every active soil/organic environment will have mold and fungus, they make up an important part of a living root environement. Its not necessarily a bad thing to have.

We have a free 300g on our site you are welcome to order.

Good stuff. I started feeding my seedlings 1g per gallon. Next feeding 2g. Then successfully fed 3.6 grams per gallon and am looking at this now. No nute burn and plants seem healthy/happy

I don't want mold growing in my nutrient jug knowingly. I tossed it out. I will grab a 300g sample if the code works. I wasted 450 grams making a liquid Concentrate. I actually like how the Version 2 mixes better. It might work in my Drip stakes? The version 1 pH driff was too rapid for me. I am going to give the version 2 in my Rez next week. I am hand feeding a couple of plants. I want to see how the new strength is vs the old. So far, honestly... Version 2 is in the lead. Version 1 has Caught up. However, Version 2 is taller for sure. I am hoping version 2 hits flower faster as well. I have said from Day 1 when MC came out that it extends my veg time. So maybe the we are close to the preflowering era. We will see how things progress. My pH is not as low when I make Version 2. I don't really have to adjust it much UP. According to Greenleaf, we don't need to use as much Additives with version 2. However, the Calculator they put up has almost the. IDENTICAL grams per gal that many of us use with version 1. I am using 1.5g of Calmag pro instead with version 2 and vs 2.0g with version 1. 1g Sweet Candy. I do t have Kelp Magic . I use 4.5g MC per gal. And I will evaluate the BE use with version 2 once that time comes.

I am hopeful with version 2. I have .Ton of version 1left and will use it up. It does a good job . Hopefully the version 2 will do even better once we all work with it more.

I'm just starting my run with the new MC 2.0 gonna keep it the same grams per gallon along with 1/4 tsp SC. I also will be using the kelp 1/2 tsp per five gallon doing both hand feeding and foliar during veg. The current run that's finishing I started using the kelp instead of feeding MC everyday I rotated between the 2 with decent results so far
