For hydro? Been coming across varying views on the subject. Seen real growers recharge being recommended but the packaging says its for soil, and see growers on here mention the microbes can't survive with some sort of soil to hang on to?http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/fourtwenty/articles/profiles.htm
This was an astronomical help. Cut back on calN by .25g/l and on the base feed by 0.50g/l. Total elemental ppm is shy of 700, seems good start to finish so far, in coco. P will stay at 60ppm for a trial but here are some loose figures to give an idea of tweaking room, such as the N and C value later on. The base isn't jacks but they probably have something similar. Could be some mistakes below, or round offs.
Base - 0.5gl
N - 75
P - 15
K - 132
M - 10
Cnite - 0.5gl
N - 75
C - 95
Eps - 0.5gl
Mg - 50
Su - 65
Mpk - 0.10/20/30 g/l
P - 23/45/69

N - 150

I plan on re-introducing an organic/microbe means to add more P, so that any ''boost'' is taken care of by critters that know more than me.
No, for coco. I've read bits and pieces of people adding some basic forms of organic/microbes for hydrp but it's something that you should really read deeply into, I've read a fair share of people dumping res for sludge when using the wrong stuff or improper application.For hydro?

Im running dtw rockwool and one of the growers I've seen on you tube "thecapn" waters with recharge once a week or something, but on alternate waterings, just seems like a lot of fkn about. Do you think it's worth it?
Im 12 days since flip using just 321 and silica, plants look great but I keep almost pulling the trigger on canna boost, recharge or mammoth p. But boost and MP are stupidly expensive to run full strength
To be honest, i wouldn't use it without a scale, at least at the gallon level, the difference between 3 and 4g is so tiny on a spoon it's silly. A scale is like $12 on amazon..Does anyone have the measurements for 321 in cups and/or spoons at all? No scales and can’t seem to find it anywhere

Well ok thenI mix up stocks with 300 200 100 gs.
Get a scale. Volume is unreliable.Does anyone have the measurements for 321 in cups and/or spoons at all? No scales and can’t seem to find it anywhere
the calcium in jacks hydro comes from calcium nitrate... 2nd part of 2part formula... 3rd part in 321 is just epsom added specifically for herb... 3.6/2.4/1.2 of jacks5/12/26-CalNit-epsom into a gallon of RO comes out to 3-1-4 ratio which is what MEL Frank has recommended for herb... and I have to say my girls are happy since switching from Lucas via micro/bloom... thanks for all your help over the years...Don't get me wrong, I'm a foliage pro guy all the way but I'm sure that Jacks has enough micros to avoid a deficiency. My main concern is the lack of calcium which can easily be added in a number of ways but could also be a little tedious as compared to any number of the liquid one-parts. Is saving a buck a plant worth the mixing? That's up to the grower.
This is the part-b.time to re-up
is the calcium nitrate "LX" (blue and red label) same as their regular calcium nitrate for our purposes?
from the descriptions they add some chelators?
looks like they phased out the old calcium nitrate (blue and green label)
The Ca fond in tap water is usually not useable by your plants until broken down in the soil over a long period. You will also lose the main nitrogen component.Think i'm gonna try dropping cal since i use tap water although it's only 100ppm from the tap.. wanna see if lower cal works fine...
Well.. nevermind then And thank you.The Ca fond in tap water is usually not useable by your plants until broken down in the soil over a long period. You will also lose the main nitrogen component.
What exactly did you order? And more importantly, canadian, where did you order this from?Just order 3×1lbs mix jack321 cant wait vs my organic soil .100 $ Canadien with shipping
They look pretty happy. See some of that hook/clawing of the very tip of few leaves. You mentioned N tox is rather easy to get with jacks. Do you/have you ended up getting burnt tips? And couldn't you just stop following the ratio to the letter (reduce N).?Here are my current gurls, pretty happy with them and this nutrient section could use some bling.

I do not worry about some slight claw and very minor tip burn, they usually grow out of it. If anything on this last grow from earlier in the year I should have kicked up the strength. They really faded at the end, however maybe that was perfect as all of them in that batch were my best. Everyone in my circles said they were topshelf and matched anything at the dispensaries (which around here are everywhere). Here are some of my final pictures before chop.They look pretty happy.

Jesus man. that's with jacks? I need to get some better lights. my buds are usually 1/2 to 1/3 that sizeI do not worry about some slight claw and very minor tip burn, they usually grow out of it.
