Good Morning :)
So I came across a very interesting thread by Sky High this morning talking about why pay more for a cutesy label and after reading some of DesertS posts on nutrient profiles, I got to thinkin.
What are large scale nurseries using in their hydroponic applications?
I really doubt any commercial scale vegetable growers are using the products we cannabis growers use,(Canna, AN, DM, Ionic, House & garden, etc...)
So In my searching I came across this product,
its a 25lb bag of Jacks Hydroponic nutrient for $36.00.
from my understanding needs to be stacked with the calcium nitrate product from jacks, which is $24.00 for a 25lb bag.
here is a little info on the products,

They also have other water soluble nutrients with different nutrient profiles as well.
This jacks brand may not be quite what we are looking for as hydroponic growers but I am sure there are other similar alternatives with different nutrient profiles.
*Has anyone used this product, or a similar product with good results?*
:wondering:wondering
Thanks :passingjoint:
Good morning from Nova Scotia, Canada.
I am also of the opinion that liquid fertilizers are over priced.
I am new to growing and have just started a new hydroponic grow using Masterblend hydroponic nutrients. I went by the manufacturers specification on the mix ratio. Soon into the grow, I discovered there was not enough Magnesium and just maybe, a little heavy on the nitrogen. I am changing the recommended ratio from 2-1-2 to 1-2.5-1.
This product is very reasonably priced. There is the Masterblend, Magnesium Sulphate and Calcium Nitrate, separately packaged of course.
I am also using a Potassium Silicate additive as well as H2O2.
I’ve had a lot of help from another member in this community of growers.
Keeping my fingers crossed now that I have the magnesium deficiency dealt with that I can get this grow through to completion.
Check out the Masterblend web site.
Cheers
