But gRAnDmEistOrLeVEL?wrong. bro science!!
I'm not using calnit / "part 3" at the moment either.Interesting. Your the first person I have heard say that. My plants seem perfectly happy with the mag included. No signs of mag excess.
What PPM's are you running?
Im the odd man out with my aero system. I never get above EC 0.5-0.6 or 250-300 PPM - and that includes my tap water at 100 PPM. A buddy of mine grows the most beautiful plants I have ever seen and he runs that same exact mix in F/D at about EC 0.8-1.0 IIRC.
Yes - if your like me and find the mag is needed or at least does no harm.
Thats also the correct order to add the nutes to your rez. One key thing is to allow the jacks to mix well, then add the Mag and let it mix thoroughly before adding the calnit. Then add the calnit slooooooowly to avoid any possibility of precipitation.
Having an idea of the individual elements one is feeding is pretty key... and pretty easy to get.
I mix each part separately with a magnetic stirrer. Btw, there's always some 'crystals' at the bottom of the mag stirrers mixing container. It doesn't matter how long it's left to stir.
That's great, dude.I swapped over to Jack's a couple weeks ago.
Have over $500 of M/C and GH Flora series collecting dust now.
Cleanest reservoirs ever.

Jacks 5-12-26 is paired with Calcium Nitrate, yup.Doesnt Jacks also require 15.-5-5? Calcium Nitrate. I didnt read the complete thread.....
I know my Hydro Gardens Chem Grow
4-20-39 base formula requires 15.5-0-0 as part of the base formula. Makes it equal 19.5-20-39.... Calcium Nitrate has to be added 2nd in the mix after the base formula is thoroughly mixed.
After the CN Epsom Salts/Magnesium Sulfate is added for Mg, and Sulfur
Then in an 8 weeks flowering strain add MPK from weeks 2.5-5 after flip, and then boost the Epsom Salts weeks 5-6, and then cut in half in weeks 7-8.
Base formula is increased all the way through week 6. Then cut by 25% in week 7, then another 25% in week 8. In an 8 weeks flowering strain.
Chem Gro likes a PH of 6.2
