Ballin' On a Budget- THE RECIPE

[LJBB]

I dont pay any attention to it.ive pretty much had hollow stems since i started growing and dont think anything of it..i thought its just there natural process to have it..if they are not spose to my yields arnt affected by it.

Every branch that I cut down at chop time that is hollow always has far denser/larger buds than ones that are not. However I’m just an ole rookie with less than 3 years experience for full disclosure!

I finally got around to making some Homemade Hammerhead using Bill's recipe. If anybody out there is using it as well, I'm curious how much, if any you pull back on the 3/2/1?

I don’t pull back at all! Feed the needy mid flower ladies!

If you need or use Ph down get some Growmore Flowering CalMag as bill suggested and it will lower your Ph as well as boost your Calcium due to the calcium citrate.

Thanks for the suggestion. Ended up with Cal-Sulfate and moving towards different ratio's for jack's.

You do not pull back on the 321 mix. You can just add 1 gram per gallon of the homemade hammerhead start of week 4 thru end of week 6

This thread sure petered out after being red hot for so long! Is anybody adding an entire extra 1g per gal epsom salt as Bill Farting suggests may be necessary if using this formula under CMH/LED?

Absolutely not because it doesn't need that much Mg. Jacks 321 has too much Mg already and you want to add more? I don't use epsom at all. Part A contains Mg.

5/12/26 - 5g/gal
Calcium nitrate - 4g/gal
zero epsom

That formula works reliably when feeding 15x a month

You could be right and I have no doubt those ratios work for you but I'm reading more and more mentions of the need for extra Mg under LED. I'm running Gavita LED's but I dont know if they are over the top intense or the same as a $99 amazon special from the plant's perspective.

My light is a 600W LED with high PPFD. Similar to Gravita. Maybe not quite as strong but close. I don't find a need to use extra Mg.
