Got it! I’ve been playing it safe buying the bottle nutrients, but now that I’m a bit more comfortable growing and have my air system and humidity dialed in, I’m looking at alternatives to bottle nutrition. This is perfect info and timing. Thanks man!

Check out ENVY brand hydroponic nutrients. Clone of Jack's 321. Except mag sulfate is already mixed in. This stuff is great! Very affordable and plants love it. Very easy to mix and use.

Magnesium and calcium are probably the main culprits in partial or total lockout. We see it from overuse of cal mag in my opinion and in personal experience helping others here in Alaska.

Yeah, there a sea of conflicting info on the ole internet, so I always appreciate advice from folks with real-world experience in growing.

I was struggling with watering in soil and made the switch to coco, which helped greatly, but definitely had its own challenges. It’s taken a little time to understand the nuances (like using Epsom salts or omitting cal mag and relying on the dosage in the Micro mix) but I think I’m getting it down..

Fun stuff and always happy to learn more!

Definitely, I think I’ve seen that the local hydro store, I’ll check it out for sure!

I've grown a couple of crops. Every run is a learning experience and an experiment of some sort.

Definitely! I’m arguably more obsessed with developing an automated system for growing and drying than I am with smoking/eating it. Ha!

I can’t sell mine based on the license I have, so I literally just end up just giving it to friends and family for free. (Not a bad way to get volunteers to watch the dog when I go out of town). Ha! Also, a big ole jar makes for wonderful birthday gifts.

I've done pretty well using digital timers and 2 Inkbird controls. My heating and cooling on one. Humidifier on the other. Would like an environmental control unit so I didn't have to manually adjust the Inkbirds for lights on or off. Otherwise it's pretty much feed them and forget them. I could actually duplicate the digital timer and both Inkbird controls to where one timer turned everything on and off about the same time. Meaning daytime temperatures and humidity turn off at 2400 hours and nighttime settings come on the second set at 0005. Lot of control units though.

Easier but costlier to go with an integrated environment controller.

I actually have a wireless thermometer style plug that I have used in conjunction with my timer. So if I need my cooling to kick on, I set my upper temperature limit to 73° and plug the AC into that sensor. I then set my Lower limit for heating at 64 degrees If my temps dip down too far with lights out, it kicks on a small space heater. So far it all works like a charm. The plug sensor keys off the remote so I just hang the remotes from my lights at canopy level. Like you said, the only thing I really need to worry about is watering/feeding.

I grow once a year basically and it’s nice to just kick on the breaker for the room, add new pots and water/feed, the rest is automated and consistently reliable.

Bro,i think not about cal-mag,is nutrient overwrite burning
Coco have overwrite during 7 week
You need flush 1time/4week if is inorganic
Because the weed will thirsty for salt and burn for overwirte nutrient
