So glad I made the switch Jacks, and thank CAP for creating this thread and helping to open the eyes of growers that hydro nutes are the equivalent to work out supplements.
Thank you @Fresh Starts.i appreciate you taking the time to answer.someone else mentioned bleach but for some reason they took exception to the way i asked and they didnt know the exact dosage.thanks again @Fresh StartsI am still currently using the 3-2-1 recipe for now.. and I understand what you are talking about when you say your plants are not satisfied. I have nothing but good things to say about Sea Green, although it can get pricey. I have observed that certain species will function better on jacks than others, for this reason I'm developing different raw salts recipes that are more flexible. One of the things I've encountered are Mg deficient plants with intervienal chlorosis. Foliar spraying epsom salts helped but I had to bump up the Mg levels quite a bit to get everything back into swing. I've now started using 1.2 grams per gallon of Mg during early irrigations in new coco. Also, Botanicare coco has been giving me such a headache because of their buffering agents. The PH wants to stay high- so an initial acidic irrigation of 5.0-5.5 is what I'm looking at doing now before transplanting. Just my latest findings fwiw.

You can use bleach like this to kill that root rot:
Using 8% Sodium Hypochlorite (regular non scented bleach)
Dilute 100ml Bleach into 1 Gallon water.
Use the above solution @10 ml per gallon of rez solution to initially kill everything off for a few days. Then bump the doses down to 5ml per gallon once everything is looking better. A preventative 2ml per gallon will keep the root rot away. You should be mindful of dissolving oxygen into the system and keeping water temps below 75 degrees as well. Good luck
Last week of flower water at 15% normal nute strength to run off. End debate.
The only thing I have to say is that @dizzlekush definitely knows his shit!
Right now I am running:
1.5 grams JPH
2.8 grams CaNO3
.7 grams Agsil
.2 grams MKP
.3 grams MAP
.5 grams K2SO4

first post. hi farmers!
Capulator, i am big fan of biowar gear.. i plugged your numbers to hydrobuddy and your Mg looks low at 25ppm. I remember reading in the past that you used to add 1g/gal MgSO4, did you stop using it? I understand that you are using tap water - what ppm of Mg is in your water?
Is this formula for sativa? or you use it for everything?
thank you!
I said I would post this up so here it is:
For all of my strains I run this now, and as long as I water to runoff everything blows up.
Veg:
149:45:118:47:75:136 (N: P :K:Mg:S:Ca) <--- 128ppm NO3, 21ppm NH4
Bloom (starting week 4):
Same as above but I take out the MAP, Switch for MKP and reduce CaNO3 by 20%
114:45:148:47:75:109 <----- 7ppm NH4
This is a great raw salts formula. I am also adding organics (kelp, fishmeal, wormcastings) dry between runs.
weeks 6 and 7 I add molasses 5ml/gal.
Last week only water.
To achieve the formulas I use jacks hydro 5-12-26 @ 1.5 grams, MAP @ 0.4 grams or MKP @0.4 grams (veg or bloom), K2SO4 @ 0.3 grams , CaNO3 @ 2.85 or 2.3 grams, and epsom salt @ 1 gram.
per gallon of course.
I do use AN ph down at 1mL per gal as well. LA city tap water.
This has been in use for roughly 8 months now and I am doing very well with it. So well that I stopped tinkering.

At the end of stretch I drop the CaNO3 30% to around 2 grams/gal, eliminate the MAP and bump up the MKP to .5 g/gal and bump the K2SO4 to .6
