Appreciate the replies, looks like there are more fans of Jack's than I thought, maybe I'm just the most recent surprised customer for their system. I found epsom salts at wally world for less than 2 bucks and add 1/8 tsp to each 20 gallons every nute change, about every 2 weeks. Someone posted that he was not changing nutes with Jack's he simply added full strength solution whenever the tanks needed it. I do that with a DWC unit, using 1 tsp per gallon jug, but do a complete solution swap every 6 weeks. Yes, I realized that my crank was being yanked, but still want to try to find a way to duplicate the stuff from the stores. Old habits die hard. My results with the Jack's was pretty damned impressive, not sure why I am still looking for a formula for Sweet. I do have some molasses ready to go, but the posts about gumming up systems has me waiting until I figure out a way to get the good stuff to the plants without mucking things up. I am thinking that boiling a couple TBSP per gallon might do the trick to make it into a stable solution, but that's just uninformed speculation. Suppose I could try boiling some water and see what turns out, sounds like a plan for Monday morning when I won't get quizzed about what the heck...
As far as a license to purchase, for a small time grower the Jack's is easily available online, my order was about $120 shipped for a supply that will go years, maybe decades, for 2 - 25 lb bags and a bucket of Blossom Booster. Here's a link to the company that makes it. There are some fertilizer bases that can be used by terrorists, but a weed farmer really wouldn't need that stuff when the already mixed stuff is available for cheap. There is a long list of things that plants need, and a bunch of scientists figured it out and mixed up already, so might as well use that. There are other products out there, but this is the only one I have tried since venturing out of the 'safe' growing method with grow shop nutes. I am enjoying the results.
