I'm still housebound with no use of the right foot allowed I had to go down to the shop to find some paperwork & was shocked to find this sole survivor I thought it was dead not sure what's gonna happen but I plugged the light & reservoir back in with the help of my wife let's see what she does at this point I have no choice it's this or nothing up dates are gonna be slow as I cant get down there daily I'm still fighting to keep my toes on my right foot
Apparently your not the only tough as nails thing living in that household man! Amazing she's still hanging in there. Hope she makes it through for you!

Not sure if no light for 10+ days did damage or not when I got home from the hospital I was sure everything was dead I watered all the pots & the next day nothing looked alive so I just cut the power this is the lone survivor we will see what happens next this tent was problematic maybe she will straiten out there was 2 plants in here or I would of used a 3 gal smart pot for a single plant next move will be to fit the scrog

Got the screen in today I've got something hay-wire in my grows lately I haven't got the rate of growth I'm used too & things wont green up even with cal mag I suspect the culprit might be the sunshine#4 it all started about the time I popped this new bag of it I've been using the same batch of megacrop 1-part for 2 years now even though I've added part A during flowering that would have nothing to do with the lethargic growth during veg next run I'm switching back to royal gold tupur a proven performer I'm thinking maybe they changed something in the sunshine#4 it's not giving me the same results with the same strain as before & the same 5.9 - 6.0 ph I've always used right now is a good time to get this sorted out
You say you've been using the same batch of Mega Crop for years, do you think it may have lost some of its potency? Or even just need a good mixing as certain solids settled? I've noticed since I started buying the larger bags of Veg + Bloom that if I don't mix it frequently I end up with different results as I approach the end of the container. I think different components settle or clump up over time so the NPK ratio is actually different. One of the only drawbacks to dry nutrients. Liquid suspensions are easier to keep emulsified so to speak

Megacrop is bad for clumping I routinely crush & mix this batch is in its 2nd year a fresh batch cant hurt for sure I fed this plant from a new batch we will see if anything changes she should at least green up a bit things havent been ideal for but in a week or so she should find her groove

I noticed this as a huge difference instantly when mixing Jacks. Even their cal-nit is fine and uniformed. Megacrop would clump in the storage container with moisture from the air. Jacks hasn't yet same container. Big fan of Megacrop in many ways but there only playing catch-up when comparing it to Jacks.
I think Jack's is my next purchase. Mega Crop is always sold out when I need it and I'm not loving the results (or cost) of Veg + Bloom. It works well but for the money I want great

Floranova might be my next move Jack's looks good & I like dry nutrients where is Jack's available ?
I'm not actually sure. In fact, I'm not even certain which Jack's products I need yet. I just like the results I've seen from some journals and it appears to be about half the price of my Veg + Bloom. I still have about 2lbs of the V+B still so I haven't looked into it much. Hoping one of the ag or hydro shops near me carry it

These are the 2-parts. You'd grab some Epsom salts for the third part of the Jacks321 recipe. I grabbed some 2lbs bags from the Zon but multiple online stores carry it in different sizes.
A little bit of a learning curve moving from MC to this but it's a very reasonable dry product as well.

I borrowed some fresh MC fro m a growmie I've got both long term as well as short term fact finding to do I'm really fond of single part nutrients & no additives a luxury that I've been able to enjoy using the MC one part nutrients

I know, right? I'm such a sucker for ease, and have been using MC since they came out, but shits been sideways for a minute here. Too many issues to narrow down easily, but I'm hoping I can keep the MC in the mix. Dropping the feed strength back, and mostly beating the bugs back seems to be helping. All is not lost here yet!

It might just be wishful thinking on my part but it looks like the newer growth is greening up I'm not popping any of my new genetics until I can get this strain growing to its potential as it's a sound performer & I've grown it out so I know what to expect from it I'll be cloning soon to fire the 4x4 back up as I've given this tent to a friend to get started
