To be fair that's not entirely accurate. There is different forms of N and it actually makes a big difference whether your fert is mainly comprised of ammonium or nitrate nitrogen.
I've seen it a few times on here people using cheap Walmart fertilizer that was mostly ammonium based nitrogen, and that would likely burn your plants and mess with ph.
Also lower quality ingredients and more heavy metals.
100%.
Fertilizer used on something you're gonna smoke should be made from technical grade quality nutrients whether its dry or liquid.
It's mainly because most of the MG nutes don't have Ca/Mg in them. So unless your medium has it you will get bad results. I think that's where all the stigma surrounding it comes from. That and people think when you buy 200 bucks worth of nutes and run 15 bottles you have skillzzzzz.
Never heard that term. There is no “food grade”?
I have heard nute conpanies call them “pharmaceutical grade”.
How come folks dont have problems with jacks classic? Also no calcium.
Because they run Cal Nitrate with it also

Not usually with jacks classic 20-20-20. Thats the hydro 123 kit.
I guess its intended for tap water.
Intended for soil with Ca already in it
"Therefore, it is recommended when using this formula over long periods (greater than 3-4 months) of plant growth, alternate with a lower Phosphorous source such as rainwater, calcium nitrate or other lower phosphorus fertilizers. "
Well ok then. :-)
