Awesome info, thanks cap!
This is not my formula, it is analogs from another site, but it is a very good formula at the moment. Attached is the PDF. Keep in mind that the formula takes in to consideration my tap water analysis, but if you look at the elemental ppms, that is what I am running. Full strength for flower, cut 75% for veg, cut 50% for cuts.
what you putting the pro clay into ?So....I take it you have switched from Jack's to just salt's now? Are you adding molasses to this as well?
I'm going to top dress with the Pyro clay, also adding EWC to my coco/perlite for my next round. The round after that I think I am going to go with Vermi-blend. In another thread Capulator said something about creating a better environment for the beneficial bacteria and it just made a TON of sense to me. Coco isn't really a living environment like soil is and the nutrient solutions we feed them tend to be not so kind to them....so by creating a happier home for them, they have more of a chance to thrive.what you putting the pro clay into ?
I got ya bro, I have been using the Pro-mix for sometime but would like to try a few plants in coco, thinking about buying some bags of Canna Coco, not sure whats a good brand.I'm going to top dress with the Pyro clay, also adding EWC to my coco/perlite for my next round.

@Capulator ....now ya got me wanting to do a water analysis. I've been using RO for years. Thanks Cap.....you are changing my game. :)
I have that one Bro, the other one you can enter more items into the program..You can get the exact same calculator from cannstats.com, under the nutrient section. You'll find it.

what up peeps. jacks back.
Ran out of jacks a while back and decided I would make the move to all raw salts. My plants did not like this, and so I am going back to a modified jacks formula, which was working great for me before.
I ordered the following from JR peters:
jacks classic blossom booster 10-30-20
jacks cal nitrate 15-0-0
jacks professional hydro formula 5-12-26
MOST
pH adjuster
I also have, which I ordered from cutomhydronutrients (those guys are the best):
Magnesium nitrate
0-0-50 sulfate of potash
MKP
MAP
and from the local pharmacy a 6lb bag of epsom salts.
So I got the MOST. It does not look the same as the STEM, even though the GA's are the same I think. This time, it came with a descriptive sheet for each product, and I read the MOST page.
Since I started on jacks, I have gone from adding .1 MOST to .2 MOST more recently. And here lies my problem I believe (for starters). The sheet recommends that if using a 15% nitrogen fertilizer, you should only add 2oz MOST per 25 lb bag. That's roughly .005 grams per gallon. A far cry from my values.
Now I have done quite a bit of reading up on other successful growers and their formulas, and it seems to me I have found a ratio that will work very well, or so I think.
I will be running this (all in per gallon values):
2.5 grams hydro
2.13 cal nitrate
.2 Cacl2
.095 MKP
.55 k2so4
.71 epsom salts
.005 MOST
which will give me 120-40-210-120-60 and the sulfur will be at 103.
first I will add the hydro, MKP, MOST, and K2so4 in a 5 gallon bucket of warm water and mix until dissolved. I will add this to a full res of RO water, and MIX well.
then I will add the epsom salts the same way
finally the CaNO3 and CaCl2 in the same way.
this is per manufacturers directions. So much fucking around... trying to be a mad scientist. its not working so I am gonna follow some directions (not all) from the people who are celebrating their 65th anniversary in fert blending.
I have seedlings that just popped. they are FPOG crosses. FPOG x kosher kush, FPOG x WiFi, and FPOG x my Colombian landrace. I will start a journal on them which I will link here. I will use this formula (25% strength for seedlings, 50% when they are 4-6" tall, and full strength at 12" until week 4 of flower, when I will change the formula to drop the N slightly and boost P and K.
My goal is to have all the plants thriving. No yellowing, no toxicities, no deficiencies, all the way through.
the medium will be 50/50 big and chunky perlite and botanicare washed sterile coco in a bag.
Thanks Bro..:), But I found a copy yesterday after I posted that..Thanks Again.:cigar:thats true.. What about hydrobuddy?
Bro PM me your email and I will just send you the excel spreadsheet.
