Hi guys,
I would like to know what are the best nutes you can recommend all the way from veg to flower. Growing on Coco
I’ve used in the past Botanicare products as well as FoxFarm Trio.
I’m doing a big investment to upgrade all my setup, so I would also like to know your opinion an experience on what are the best nutes right now on the market to achieve best yields possible.

thanks!

Jacks at 50 bucks per 25lb bag locally comes in cheaper than any other nutrient I've calculated. Especially when Yara 50lb bags of calcinit are like 25 bucks.

New MC may be better than the 1 part i.used for 2 runs. The stuff was dirty and caked on everything. Certainly not good for dosers or drippers that cake up easily.

What @p0opstlnksal0t said

2-part nutes are easy, yet flexible to adjust for veg vs flower, lower N, etc.

Example feed chart...
MegaCrop 2-part. (nearly identical to Jacks Part-A)

I'm pretty damn impressed from the results using Jacks.
Simple, cheap, and effective.

thanks for all the info friends,
Should I buy the whole 3 2 1 kit?
What’s included:
  • Jack’s 15-6-17 Clone 1 kg bag
  • Jack’s 5-12-26 Part A 1 kg bag
  • Jack’s 15-0-0 Part B 1 kg bag
  • Jack’s 10-30-20 Bloom 1 kg bag
  • Jack’s 7-15-30 Finisher 1 kg bag
  • Jack's Magnesium Sulfate-Epsom Salts 1 kg bag
  • Jack's 3.5 Gallon Mixing Bucket with Lid
Add on option: Jack’s 5-50-18 Ultra Violet 1 kg bag
Also, I dont have an automated system, I’ve been keeping my plants in big 10 gal containers so they dont dry up fast, and fertigate by hand every two days, do you think I’m okey with that? Or should I consider switching to soil?
Because I’ve read that I should have the plants in 5gal containers and fertigate 2-3 times a day in coco

Which is best? Megacrop A+B or Jacks 321 kit?
I would like to keep it as simple as I can getting best results following manufacturer’s feeding chart

I haven't used mc a+b

I'd get the cheapest one shipped. I wouldn't get "b" from either. I'd buy 50lb bags of Yara calcium nitrate and 50lb bags of epsom.

Yes. The Part-A is the proprietary formula.

Part-B is generic. Calcium Nitrate. Know as "calnit".
Companies bag it and put their label on it. Yara, haifa, others make calnit.

I have a 4x5 grow, the 2.2lb bags will probably last me over a year.

Use epsom to adjust Mg to Ca ratio. Mg ppm about half of Ca ppm is common.
(The 17-0-0 is haifa calnit)

thanks for all the help I really appreciate!
After all the info you have given me I’m going to install the continuos nutrient delivery system DIY from cocoforcannabis.com.

I checked your posts from Seven Sisters... how can I get the info on the detailed ppm targeted for each stage of growth? I understand the calculations, however I dont know where to get the info about what is needed every stage, because I saw that for example at a point in mid flower you bumped up K and P... where can I find a detailed info of all the process so I can follow as a guide every stage?

also I see your PPM values on your calculation charts end up around 600-700ppm.... the websites I was using stated that for veg ppm had to be up to around 800ppm increasing till end of flower 1150ppm max TDS measured

I’ll do everything you guys tell me hahaha I have 4 5x5 grow tents, but have space up to 7 5x5... I had a simple setup but bad yields, so I’m upgrading one tent as pro as I can and if everything goes right I’ll invest next year in the other 6 grow tents.
I’m upgrading to chilled growcraft x6 1000W, Co2 automated system, AC infinity ventilation systems, Titan Controls, DIY fertigation and drainage system
