Any updates out there on Jack's? I am frustrated with the cost of hydro nutrients and the fact that my GH line went to Scott's and ultimately it looks like Bayer and Monsanto. I want to switch due to the cost but mostly because of the Monsanto/Bayer thing. I don't trust those folks to put in the nutes what they say they are, not to mention all their other despicable behavior in agriculture and pharma.
Some growers out there say the idea of changing nute balance from veg to bloom is bunk and they use the mix below all the way from veg to flower (maybe in lower concentrations when the plants are younger). This sounds kinda radical to me but they claim it is the way to go. Just wondering what the real deal is especially with not change the N P K balance for bloom.
Is the 3-2-1 mixing formula what most people use? (3 grams Jack's Hydro - 2 grams Calcium Nitrate - 1 gram Epsom per gallon)?
The analysis of that mix is supposed to be:
N - P - K = 1.0/0.93/2.01
Elemental breakdown ppm (total= ~576ppm):
N=102
P=41
K=171
Mg+76
Ca+89
S=97
Thanks,
Dee
