I ordered a 25 lb bag directly from them and it cost 83 for the fert, tax and shipping.
I’ve been heating up a glass of water, mixing the MC in the hot water, and then mixing that into my reservoir, haven’t had any issues mixing going that route.
That is what i was doing as well when i was running a reservoir. I am back to mixing gallon jugs for a DTW run. I usually mix what i need the day before i use it. After reshaking i really do not see much that has not dissolved. I have also switched from mixing the MC dry. I keep a stock solution of the MC and just shake well before using. Things a going fine using the MC in a DTW system. Once i get thru my supply of MC i may look into another product mostly because of the formula changes. I feel like i am paying for there research and development. I should be done with my bag of MC by 2025 or so.LOL
That's hysterical. I was thinking the same thing yesterday when looking at what I had left. "This is going to last a long time." I've been using it now for 4 or 5 grows and I haven't even dented it. I'm using V2 without issue, but like you, I've been debating using something different once it's gone. I'm used to V2 and I'm not sure if I want to try a different formula either. I wouldn't be surprised when we're ready for something different in 2025, MC will be on V8.
I used hot water mixing mine and you see the results up above. The second bag i had it was heated up on a stove practically boiling.
I usually go around 3-4 months on a 22.5 lb bag if i do a rez change regularly. I have stopped using it in flower only in veg now and have to add some cal mag with it.
I can imagine the scope now being a math guy,,,,,and,,,,
Huh, thats strange. i just microwave a glass of water and stir it in for a minute and its good to go from there. never find any particulate or anything in my rez. I even forgot to turn on the air pump in the res last time i mixed it up and still no particulate. I wonder if they have QC issues, and it varies per bag?
Yeah, I‘m feeding DTW as well, I just keep a rez full of pre-mixed Nutes with an air pump running through it.
What PPM are you do you want in your final water/nute solution?
@BigBallzWillie about 2-3 weeks from finish just like a staircase i keep stepping down till i get to zero. The last irrigation might be just tap 95 ppm. I might peak out at 800 ppm but usually less. I do think that the more wattage you have the higher the ppm and that is why it can very so much from garden to garden. Prior to using MC the last 2 weeks would always be just tap. MC stated that it does not require flushing for what ever that is worth.lol
I ran into a bit of a issue with my reservoir while using the Blumats on my last run because of my tap water. For what reason i am not exactly sure why it would become fairly unstable and continually rising and needing adjustments. I have been mixing in 1 gallon jugs for a pretty good while without ever having a issue of rising PH. I mixed mine with very hot water and would then add to the reservoir but i would still get a small amount of material on the bottom ( v2). I had a small circulating running constant as well.
That's your starting ppm. No biggie it's just that you have to factor it in. So are you filtering the well water? That's a great number in my bookThanks My well water is 107 ppm and I'm not sure I can get an accurate mix with that scoop. I definitely going with your suggestion of making a concentrate mix.
Mine worked great i put about 2 " of MC in a 20 oz gatorade bottle and the balance i used RO. It came out very close to 100 ppm to 1.0ml. Plus the gatorade bottle does not usually leak when shaking.Thanks My well water is 107 ppm and I'm not sure I can get an accurate mix with that scoop. I definitely going with your suggestion of making a concentrate mix.
