Anyone still using Jacks?
Just switched my 12 light room over to jacks about a month ago and the plants are definitely thanking me for it!Anyone still using Jacks?
I just switched myself, so far so good.Just switched my 12 light room over to jacks about a month ago and the plants are definitely thanking me for it!
Is anyone using it in a rdwc sterile system?
Jacks that is.

They’re not necessary. When I used megacrop I had to add a cal mg supplement since it didn’t have enough but other than that I don’t think you need anything else. Maybe a little p boost but megacrop has a lot of k in it already for floweringAnyone running the boosters along with monstercrop? Going to do a trial run but wondering if the bud explosion and sweet candy are neccessary.
Awesome thanks!They’re not necessary. When I used megacrop I had to add a cal mg supplement since it didn’t have enough but other than that I don’t think you need anything else. Maybe a little p boost but megacrop has a lot of k in it already for flowering
The npk ratios were just a bit off for me and my plants came out healthy but not quite as healthy as when I used Jacks or Perfect Grower. Megacrop isn’t quite as complete for me as jacks is. I personally like having a 3 or 4 part nute system so I can customize it without throwing off everything elseAwesome thanks!
I noticed they had a few boosters on their website so wanted to see if anyone was using them
You arent using megacrop anymore? Can I ask why you decided to go to something different?
I was looking at Jack's too, but cost of shipping is going to kill me and having a 1 part nutrient system just seems so easyThe npk ratios were just a bit off for me and my plants came out healthy but not quite as healthy as when I used Jacks or Perfect Grower.

Go check out Athena ag, it’s a 2 part system, tested and used by the Jungle boys and it’s in the same price range as megacrop and jacks!I was looking at Jack's too, but cost of shipping is going to kill me and having a 1 part nutrient system just seems so easy
Especially if it works
Do you mind me asking what you are using in your mix from Jack's?
Could someone please give me some advice on a feeding schedule for Mega Crop and Happy Frog soil?
I am going to plant directly into Happy Frog after germinating. The MG I have is 9-6-17. I use tap water dechlorinated and it has a PPM of 250.
I was going to feed at 1g per gallon the first week ever other watering and increase it 1g every week up to 10g. Then just stop feeding last couple weeks of flowering. But I rather have some advice.
That meter is 500 scale most likely, at least my yellow cheapies have been; about the rest maybe somebody familiar with mega crop could help you better, but when I used megacrop I fed 300-500 in veg & 500-800 bloom with little adjustments to each as needed, good luckHere is my PPM meter.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XKMH86J#Ask
My PPM meter is open meaning no scale. I'm not sure what that means for my reading. If it's not 500 or 700 scale, what is the difference in the reading?
Mega crop says for Veg 2, 500 scale, feeding should be 555 PPM.
Mega crop says for Veg 2, 700 scale, feeding should be 777 PPM.
#1 - What would my feeding be during Veg 2 with an open scale PPM meter?
Mega Crop says "*EC is additive, so you measure your base water EC then add in the suggested amount.
For example: Base water EC .2, suggested dosage is 1.1, then final level will be 1.1 + .2 = 1.3"
My Tap water is 250P PPM.
My tap water and Happy Frog soil slurry test was 625 PPM. 625 PPM slurry minus 250 PPM tap water = Happy Frog is 375 PPM.
According to Mega Crop, if my feeding PPM is supposed to be 555 and my tap water is at 250 PPM, them my feeding should be 805 PPM.
#3 - What about the nutrients that are in my soil. From doing slurry test, the PPM of my soil seems to be 375 PPM.
Should I subtract my soil PPM from my feeding PPM only then? So it would be 805 PPM minus 375 PPM. That would be a feeding of 430 PPM for veg 2?
