Jacks 321 Nitrogen Toxicity Week 2 Flower Help

[lusidghost]

I'm in the same boat. This is what I was trying to figure out last summer.

Jack's 321 with RO water = 121 > 221 > 321?

I'm getting mag deficiencies in late veg and it's delaying the flip. So I was thinking should I be running the part B and the epsom salt at full strength from the beginning, and step up the part A as I go? Tap water would have plenty of cal/mag before adding the nutrients, so I feel like keeping...

Well now. I think you owe me an apology.

The ratio stays the same regardless of the dilution.

I'm sorry. You were right, and I was wrong.

did you ever find a cal/nit with less N?

My plants are still in veg, so It's been on the back burner. I am considering using just Jack's part A and Raw's cal/mag through flower, and add kelp if it seems they need more nitrogen.

You can get 13-0-0 calcium nitrate instead of the 15-0-0 jacks uses. You can get it in 14-0-0, 15.5-0-0, and 17-0-0 as well. There is also Biomin Calcium 1-0-0 which is an organic product for soil. Comes in a liquid.

I've thought of using 11-0-0 magnesium nitrate 9% Mg instead of calcium nitrate and using Calcium EDTA chelated 9.7% to replace the calcium but that doesn't make much sense unless you really want to lower the nitrogen level. I try and keep things simple and swapping this and adding that just complicates things There are a ton of different combinations that will all perform well.

Biomin® Calcium, 1-0-0
OMRI LISTED. Boost Calcium and Nitrogen Levels With This Chelated Soil Amendment

"BIOMIN CALCIUM contains amino acid complexed calcium designed for soil and foliar application. It is completely bioavailable and non-phytotoxic to plants when applied in accordance to directions. Designed to prevent and correct micronutrient deficiency and to boost crops during critical or fast growing periods. May be applied with nitrogen fertilizer. GUARANTEED ANALYSIS Calcium (Ca)..........................................5.0%
5.0% Complexed Calcium Derived from calcium amino acid complex."



I've been using this 13-0-0 for years. You can get the same thing online just in a different branded package. It all comes from the same factories. Jacks doesn't make calcium nitrate they just repackage it.

yeah, i bought a kilo of it in bulk off ebay. mine was 15-0-0 and 19% Ca IIRC.

i'm actually using h3ad's formula now since i'm new to coco and wanted a guaranteed coco regimen.

I have been growing for 4 years now. This is my first grow with jacks. Im growing in Coco and Perlite. I went full strength through Veg with minor nute burn, but got great results. The first week for flower I used 2/2/2/Moab and started to show N toxicity by week 2. Its pretty bad.This is a proven nute ratio for bloom. Did I make a mistake some where? What can I do to save my plants? Why does Jack have such a high N ratio?

Any advice is helpful. Thanks

The light change caused the flower initiation, not an added nutrient mix. I think that is the only mistake.

How to add MOAB properly is not to add it! At least in your situation where it is your first run with Jack's.

It seems odd that there isn't any N in that NPK as monoammonium phosphate is listed in the ingredients and ranges from 10-12% N levels. 0-52-32 is straight monopotassium phosphate. Monoammonium phosphate is usually 12-61-0. Something seems off with that label.

Another reason not to use cannabis specific nutrients. They are notorious for not properly listing ingredients and labeling their products.

Many cannabis growers try and cut out all the N during flower because they don't have a good understanding of plant nutrition and don't realize that N is needed in all stages of the plants growth including flower. A product without any listed N is appealing to those growers.

i've read many posts here and other places that say if you don't cut out N in bloom, you're gonna grow leaves and not buds. i like keeping mine green til chop.
