no, .05 to .1 grams. Not .01.
I do it because the rep told me it was a good idea after I asked about it. Jacks is meant for tap water, which has some trace elements and minerals already. If you get the MOST with sulfur you can boost sulfur levels as well.
thats weird bro I ran no more than 1.0 EC on my last run and my plants looked perfect all the way through. Not a good yield but I flipped this one way too early.
My formula veg last run:
Hydro: 1 gram
CaNO3: 1.5 grams
MKP: .08 grams
K2SO4: .25 grams
MOST: .05 grams
EPSOM: .35 grams
I ran this until end of stretch.
I don't see anything wrong with your formula because I cant see how yoru plants respond to it. If they like it, then its good..
hey everyone, I've just recently tried to switch over to using these nutes, I'd like to say thanks again for all the help from cap, ttystik and anyone else that has given me help w/ these nutes. How would you guys incorporate some pro-tekt silicate into the 3/2/.5 or 4/2/.5 mix?
I started using silica on my first grow and just haven't stopped also I'm using the same 1 gallon of pro-tekt from over 2 years ago and I still have 1/3 of it left. I figured most nutes didn't have silicate and since I was a hydro head there was no natural silica occurring in the soil. It also works as a great PH up. Thanks for the advice ttystik, if you ever do start using it, plz post how your using it in conjunction w/ the jacks.
Contains Magnesium 0.50%; Boron 0.02%; Cobalt 0.0005%; Iron 0.10%; Manganese 0.05%; Molybdenum 0.0005%; and Zinc 0.05% in an organic base. Naturally buffered for assured plant absorption. May be added to nutrient solution reservoirs, watered in or used as a foliage spray.
Directions for Use:
Use 1-2 tsp. Microblast per gallon of water, every 2 to 4 weeks.
Ingredients: Kelp meal, magnesium sulfate, borax, cobalt sulfate, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, sodium molybdate and zinc sulfate.
wow, this is like a blast from the past.. things come full circle. This is like how they did it in the 80's/90's
There are only 16 elements needed, and a few other just help I guess.. But, beware hydro nutes and soil nutes are not the same. Soil nutes (to save money) are not complete foods, they assume the rest will be in your soil. I know you know this cause that's why you're adding CA and stuff. That helps but there might be a few others missing. I don't know what's in Jacks but I'm sure it's good just might not be as complete.
Check out Earth Juice Micro Blast.. Like the name says, micro blast.. it's got a lot of good micros. Check it out if you can. It might make it work just a little better.
I don't have pics, but they looked pretty seriously nutrient deficient. I'm thinking this because I pushed them pretty hard with loads of light (55-60W/sq ft), RDWC's constant water availability and a sealed room environment with optimized humidity and supplemented CO2. The weak link in this intensified regimen then became the low nutrient strength and the plants starved for enough food. The results included yellow leaves, spots, poor yield, a few plants that just got weird looking, and the fact that most plants didn't get frosty or smelly- which is the biggest problem, cuz it's worthless that way!
When I cranked up my solution stength in veg to 1.7 EC, the plants turned bright green and exploded in a matter of days. I'm gonna run some higher strengths in this run and see what comes of it. I will go as high as 2.4 in peak flower, or until the girls tell me they're getting too much! Of course I'll let you know what the results are.

Are you sure you weren't seeing issues due to lock up? Your 4/2 flower recipe seems high in K which I think will affect Ca and Mg. Your 3/3 veg seems high in calcium which can cause issues, hence the reason they are kept separate when mixing. It is my understanding that you never want to go above 2.0EC in any medium and that 1.1-1.5EC is ideal. However I do not claim to be an expert on the subject as I am still learning. I've been running the 3/2+RO with Epsom and bennies with three strains at 1.3EC and seeing the healthiest I've ever had. Two indica dominant and one sativa dominant.
PH can also trick you a bunch, do you calibrate your meter? I used to go months without doing it until one time I calibrated and then a week later did it again and it was off enough to cause issues. PH probes do degrade over time so for the few dollars it costs for cal solution I do it at least once a week.
