Greenleaf Nutrients MEGA CROP Q&A/Support/Pictures/Feedback/Anything thread

NO IT IS NOT 3/2/6…exactly 1.76/ 1/ 2.54…2/1/3 is much closer. would round to 2/1/3…NOT 3/2???/6??? NOT GOOD NUMBERS!!!

[GreenleafNutrients]

The most direct answer is the ratios are there because they are extremely effective over a wide variety of growing conditions for Cannabis.

Also, we resigned the Bud Explosion PK booster product recently, it has higher P now in 15kg size (0-26-37), and releasing soon for other sizes. So if you feel you want higher P during flowering, you can add this in. Plants can also store some amount of nutrients as reserve or backup while still being healthy, so this usually helps Mega Crop plants get an extra boost and more flowering sites when flipping to bloom phase.

I am talking about the NPK RATIOS on the fed.

Take one of MC’s nutes at NPK’s 20/20/20…that is a 1/1/1 RATIO…the ratios’ of the percentage of N, P and K in the mix.

A fed with 10/2/15 would be a 5/1/8 RATIO…just divide the smallest number into the others for the ratio.

Lol, yes. I know how to find the lowest common denominator, dude

Yup. I know what NPK ratios are. I was trying to clarify that that’s what you were referring to when you said 2/1/1 (in case you were indeed referring to some elemental nutrient ratio). But a “1/1/1” ratio isn’t actually a ratio of 1/1/1 N-P-K, because its actually N-P2O5-K2O. I know what you mean though.

The fed I USE TO USE had a ratio too high in N…weak stems, too much GREEN, too much leaf/bud ratio.

This is what I was asking; what brand(s) do you use. Cool. Sounds like 2 or three different products/base nutrients.

Generally accepted RATIOS are: For Moms(slow, steady. “on hold”) 1/1/1…I use Grow Terra at 20/20/20 at 1 teaspoon per gallon(400-500 PPM)

For Veg we want High N to P and K…like 2/1/1…3/1/1…I use Texas Vegetable Fertilizer at 6/2.5/5…or 2.5/1/2…I use it BECAUSE it is 100 natural and has ALL the macro’s and trace elements included in it. 1 teaspoon per gallon is again about 500-600 ppm. I use it all veg, and 2.5 weeks into flower. Week 3 of flower I switch.

Flower we want LOWER N…higher P and K. DEBATE upon which should be higher, P or K…2 schools of thought on that. We want 1/2/2…or .5/2/2…or even 0/2/2…

I mix 2 feds to get MY RATIO…Grow Terra @ 20/20/20(1/1/1…perfect BASE to mix from) and Sea Grow @ 4/26/26(1/6/6)…mixed 50/50 it gives me 1/2/2 RATIO…1 tea per gallon is 550 PPM or so. Early flower is at 1 tea per…week 7 ramps to 1.5, week 8 and 9 at 2.0 then back down to 1 tea to finish.

When I changed to 1/2/2 for flower…immediately I got : LESS GREEN COLOR(was way too green) NO MORE floppy stems, or "red painted " leaf stems(NOT GOOD THING GENERALLY ) , NO MORE “leafy” Buds, 2 times the Bud density, maybe 3 times the “smell”. Pants now “fade” at flowers end instead of staying GLOWING GREEN from N in flower.

THESE ARE JUST …JMHO…but never going back to a N rich flower food again. Playing with ratios these last 2 runs…1/2/2 for early flower…then a shot of the 1/6/6 at week 5 or so, then back to 1/2/2. Last 2 weeks I go 0/1/2…

I know the general idea around the different phases and targets, but thanks for sharing your methods and what you’re doing. Red petioles is annoying. The plants I’ve fed with just MC V1 also look like they have enough N, but not enough Cal, maybe Mag too, and Phos.

Replies are in the quote above.
Thanks dude.

Damn you guys updated everything after I bought it all. Feels bad man.

I just harvested my first megacrop grown plant. Some of her nugs are looking fan-fucking-tastic. The tops look like shyte because I think they got too close to the bulb but other than that so far so good. I can further dial her in on the next one.

[toastyjakes]

I do have the newish updated version(2.5 I’ll call it lol) but saving it til the next run to go start to finish

[Nitt]

@toastyjakes

I think it’s more because, short of a bit of excess N in flower, it is about the best straight through ratio they could’ve made… I’m ok if my leaves are a little darker in flower as long as I don’t need to add extra shit to my feed lol

Leftover N in the finished product will be tasted though, no?

What NPK percentages did you use (lol).? There are too many around…9.5-7-18? That’s like 1.36-1-2.57

@GreenleafNutrients

So if you feel you want higher P during flowering, you can add this in.

What about during veg? If there’s signs of P deficiency in veg?

[GreenleafNutrients]

@Nitt

never seen that happen

[Nitt]

My post #856 I think.

[toastyjakes]

For that reason I like to give a ten day pure pH’d water rinse prior to cutting … helps it finish up and rids it… but honestly I’ve never seen a difference of cured properly

The ones from the bag pictured at the beginning of the thread which are 9/6/17 and a helluva lot closer to 3/2/6 than anything I saw printed here.

[Nitt]

The ones from the beginning of the thread, February 2018? Their formula has changed since then, at least once. Go to their website. Better yet ask here though; the images on the product page have two different images with the guaranteed analysis and they’re different percentages.

Regardless. No, it’s not 9-6-17 anymore. You’re wrong. Ask them here.

Edit: Oh, the one from the bags front picture. Haha, yea. I duno how many times, if ever, they’ve changed their label. Just being honest, I don’t know. Haha

[Bajaku02]

Can you use the Sea - k as a foliar spray

[GreenleafNutrients]

Can you use the Sea - k as a foliar spray?

yes

[Bajaku02]

Can I use the per gallon ratio as the mix

[GreenleafNutrients]

yes, 2-5 grams per Gallon is OK for root and foliar.

[Bajaku02]

Thanks I appreciate it

[Bajaku02]

Is the Sea - k and Algae abstract the same thing ?

[SeymourGreen]

Are you in coco and do you add cal/mag, or epsom?

[toastyjakes]

I’m am in coco yes, and to be perfectly honest, I’ve only added Epsom to my feed two or three times over the last few runs and that was in newer coco where the seedlings were showing mag def… haven’t used it in flower since I switched from soil

[SeymourGreen]

Thanks. If I remember correctly, you said you start flowering plants at 6 grams a gallon? My Agent K’s that just went into flower using maxibloom at 7 g’s a gallon are yellowing much to soon for my liking and thinking of trying the V.2.5 version to see if it improves anything. Still nervous that there will be to much leftover N though.
