Thanks much Turbo, ordering my blossom booster now! So one the start of week 4 I'll mix the blossom booster and silica. What's the recommended practice of adding them to your rez to avoid fall out?

I add my amendments first, like silica, cal-mag and mineral matrix. Then, I add the Jacks mix in equal amounts until I get the EC I'm looking for. Trying to determine exactly how much to mix up ahead of time has always seemed like more of a pain in the ass than it was worth, so I don't do it.
So for example, if I'm mixing a batch of Jacks, I might mix up a 50 gallon batch like this;
5 Gallon Bucket A:
3 Jacks x 50gal = 150mg
1 Epsom x 50gal = 50mg
5 Gallon Bucket B:
2 Calcium nitrate x 50gal = 100 mg
Fill both buckets full of water and mix thoroughly. Add equal amounts of each bucket to reservoir until you have achieved your target EC.
Wow great chunk of advice bro!! thanks alot for sharing. do you mind sharing your weekly EC levels as well?
Why do you add Epsom salt for flush in addition to sugar? What does the Epsom salt do?
I was under the impression that regular sugar (bleached refined sugar) cannot be metabolized by plants.
Bullshit. It's a simple carbohydrate, plants make and use them all the time.
Just to be clear, I have read through most of the 43 pages. I really appreciate what you guys are doing here. I am particularly interested in your work with flushing with epsom and sugar, hence the question. Thank you for replying.
