My fuckin scale just died. 😅🤣🤪😒 Any tips for measuring out MC w/o a scale? Like one teaspoon is such and such weight or something along those lines.
Edit nevermind. I used my brain. 1 table spoon is fifteen grams.

That's what I've been doing the last day but I just need to be precise lol. All is good now. Ended up borrowing another scale lol.
I understand and respect your desire for precision.. personally I’m just a madman and I get away with murder in promix with a decent amount of goings ons down there in the roots with the bat guano and mykreorazapan or however the f@ck you spell that impossible word. not even sure my ph needs to be close honestly 😆. I’ll have to pay a bit more attention to my ghetto Kratky bucket I guess. I feel like branching out these days into hydro and coco in one direction but also want to do some nice slow grandmas potting mix kinda thing also.. duplicity.. I’m duplicit my brother

Ahaha I must be too then. I'm running soil now with my hydro. Not a fan. Switching fully back to hydro with all the new seedlings. Hydro I need everything to be perfect or risk a nice tip burn or lockout. Ph in soil is love mc and an both pH set to 6.3 nicely. My only downfall is adding in my calmag drops me to 6.1 which is a lil low for soil if I'm not mistaken.

Just some ideas I use a 3gallon ice cream container for bulk storage. For daily use I use a gateraid bottle. Small mouth keeps moisture out. Use a long spoon from say a blizzard or peanut buster parfait. And weigh. I don’t seem to have a problem with stuff settling out. Flood and drain really has nothing to clog.
I put mine into foodsaver bags and Vacuum sealed it, about 2 kilos per bag. And I've got about 2 kilos in a recycled plastic fertilizer container with a tight fitting lid similar to a small ice cream container for regular daily use.
I might throw a silica pack in there to absorb moisture now after reading through this.

I got a bag yesterday in Canada from Amazon. Certainly is the V2 bag, and it has little white flakes in it that refuse to dissolve. Anyone else noticing this? Not sure I'll be able to use this stuff in my rockwool setup, Its gonna plug up my Y filter constantly.
I find the bud explosion don't mix to well. I'm still working on a big original bag of mega crop. Works well. Cant comment on what available today though. Will be awhile yet before I have to buy another bag...being a soil grower and beefing up soil I don't have to use much ferts...maybe 2 weeks out of a grow.

I was thinking of using some GH bloom in flower with MC. Do you think that would fix the problem like the bud booster?

I have a fresh quart of it. I might have to give it a go.
I don't see why not as a bloom booster. I finally mixed a stock solution of the MC and i am pretty happy how it is working. When you are weighing just a couple of grams i always wondered if i was getting a good mixture of everything that is in there. My first attempt worked out well. I used a 16 0z gatorade bottle and put about 2" of mega crop and the rest was RO water. You have to give it a quick shake and that mixture worked out to 100 ppm's per ml. Even if you are off just record how many ppm's per ml your mix is and adjust accordingly. Just thought it was a little easier to work with like that.

Glad you posted this, I was thinking about doing exactly this same thing except I had a 20 oz Gatorade bottle.

I tried a strong mix of MC got some mold growing on it so I stopped.
Since I’ve gone to coco and mix 5gal and it sits for a bit I do smell some funk after a couple days, sewer smell. I’ve been mixing in 1ppm shock first. Smells good after sitting for a few days I have read others state the same. @gwheels why not use MC bud explosion?

I put mine in these mini milk bottles I bought from a crafts store. It’s so much easier to see how much your drawing into the pipette.

Superthrive haven't used that in a while. Not sure if the following story was indeed factual but i had a vietnam vet tell me that the military bought a shit load of that product and was aerial spraying in the area where napalm damage was present. He said the areas would green up pretty quick. The inventor won something with it at the worlds fair a long time ago.

I will keep a eye peeled for any mold. I have it stored in the dark and fairly dry area.

I just found it at Canadian Tire on the weekend for $15.

It won that Gold Medal award in 1940! Or so it says on the bottle.

To be honest i havent had a lot of stuff from them that mixes well. Ive gotten several products to try and it takes forever to disolve.
With their cal mag it will be a long time waiting for the pump to dissolve it.

I did this with a half bag of the 22.5 lb bag in a 5 gal container with spigot. I have to shake it everytime i use it because it settles on the bottom. You can shake on that thing for hrs nd it wont mix all the way.

Did the same thing with the calmag. Mixed it in a 5 gal container with spigot and it settles to the bottom ive shaken that thing so many times i cant count. Never mixes throughly. Its not like their is too much in the container. Reg cal mag is around 5 ml per gal. To get same concentrate with this mix is 20 ml per gal.
