I grow in coco/perlite 5 gal hempy’s. Hand feed. Veg plants under HLG quantum boards (4 board fixture, 240 watts) I also run quantum boards in flower. Two 600 watt fixtures. Genetics is Barney’s Farm Peyote Cookies. This particular strain has been steady in my garden for over two years.
I got back into growing in 2018. I remembered using the GH flora 3 part series from back in the day, saw that it was still available and went with that. Eventually adapting my feed to the cocoforcannabis schedule. Everything was great. I got beautiful bud which rivaled anything you could find at any dispo in Colorado. There was really no problem and I was very successful with GH.
About a year ago, I switched to Megacrop. At that time it was version 2. The only reason I switched was the allure of only having to mix one thing into my res. I did a full run with the small batch I ordered, and it was pretty great. Very similar results to my GH schedule. I reordered and received Megacrop V3. It wasn’t the same. Plants weren’t doing as well as they should be, and it was a miserable time trying to dial in the Megacrop. Even now that I’ve got it mostly worked out…. They still aren’t as healthy and vibrant as they should be.
I regret ever using Megacrop and I’m done with it.
My first impulse is to go back to what I have had success with in the past. gh flora nutes following that same cocoforcannabis feed schedule. I am not experienced enough to be trying to mix up my own dry nutrients, or anything like that. In retrospect, mixing up 6 or 7 different things into my reservoir wasn’t difficult at all. I’m curious if anyone has any alternate suggestions. I don’t mind paying a bit more than I was for GH, if there’s a justifiable reason.
Yeah it really is only a few more movements of your body. I find that I can do these little things or pay someone else. They are more expensive from my experience. When I save money I feel like I am being paid for what I am doing. Do I want to do this or go work and pay for others to do it? Nutes nutes is my brand and it is cheap and the best crops I have had so far.

That maxi crop seemed very nitrogen heavy but interesting. I’ve seen a few folks on here run into trouble and a couple guys mention they liked it as well. Sucks when they continue to mess with a formula.
As long as the nutrients are plant available(chelated) and in the right ratios it’s hard to go wrong.
Not popular around here as it seems like everyone wants to play organic living soil instead of growing herb but look into FloraFlex. It is an all powder clean ph perfect system, I use the complete line including Full-Tilt, veg and bloom foliar sprays. I researched nutrient systems a long time before switching and I don’t regret it at all. The only other amendments I add are silica, Blue Planet powder CalMag, SuperThrive and Recharge ph is always 6.2-6.4 without adjustment. I grow in 40% FFOF, 40% Coco and 20% Perlite and use only water for first 2-3 weeks of veg before feeding. It’s just a super nutrient system not really well known retail but used by large commercial growers and overall an inexpensive line to use. It’s a mineral based system but I grow for big buds and dank not to be Mr. Organic. Happy Growing 🙂
