You can do a straight pH'd water cleanse now I suppose if your MC is coming in the next day or two.

Buds are still going strong, I'm guessing around 4 weeks left. First 2 are of ww, third is Californian blue, and last was my failed ww quadline
So personally I wouldn't flush right now for deficiencies. Give her some straight pH'd water til runoff then bring the MC nutes in as soon as you can.

Do I just stick with the 500ppm for mc dose schedule?
With the MC it is recommended to use the weigh option, such as grams. If you have access to a digital scale start at 5g/gal.
That puts you at the flower week 1 stage for feeding. The next feed bump it up to 5.5g. 1tsp = 6g so not quite a tsp. The MC has big white balls in it so it's easier to weigh the product. It will last up to two weeks stored but needs to be agitated before use.

If you have to use the 500ppm scale then read what they say about it so you are familiar.....
*EC is additive, so you measure your base water EC then add in the suggested amount.
For example: Base water EC .2, suggested dosage is 1.1, then final level will be 1.1 + .2 = 1.3
EC/PPM conversion for different meter types
1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 500 ppm
European 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 640 ppm
Australian 1 ms/cm (EC 1.0 or CF 10) = 700 ppm
1 US Teaspoon (4.9ml) = 6 grams MEGA CROP

I emailed greenleaf mc, they told me to start off at 300 for autos
For your small plants that may be fine if you are talking ppm on the 500 scale. The bigger plant in flower will be looking for more than that. The 300 they refer to is seedlings and small plants.
I'm assuming you have seen their feed calculator?

Got the mc in. Plants got flushed once but still wet. Should I wait for when they are ready to feed them?
Also got a pop up greenhouse I'm gonna try to grow a plant in. The DFs are extremely small. Starting to get a little cooler down here

You could feed now but it's most likely just runoff so no point. Wait for them to dry out a bit and give them the MC.

Thanks again..the mc is priced well within budget and there is a good amount
Ya more people are trying it out and having great results. It's convenient and as you said, very good on the wallet!
I start my autos around 200-400 hundred ppm .
My tap water is around 140-170 ppm.
I think I cruised through veg around 450 ppm total usually .

Are you saying 170 out of the 400 was from your tap water? Or are you saying total ppm including tap was 570 or so
