3 days on jack's 5-12-26 and the plants are loving it! Bye bye General Hydroponics forever

if i did the math correctly, total ppm of Su in 321 is 169ppm. 67 from the 5/12/26 (3 g) and 103 from the epsom (1g)

so for the RO formula, i need to add about 1.7g per gallon epsom to be close.

I didn't check any math but those ppms seem high to me.

you are correct sir. 103ppm is sulfate in epsom. it's 33ppm sulfur . looked up the wrong conversion.

recalculating...............................

 

[rkymtnman]

100ppm total Sulfur. 67 from the 8.5% in part A and 33 from the epsom. thanks PJ

so i'm curious to your thought process @PJ Diaz , you look at that list and you pick what? and why? i think the only strain i heard of is the Runtz.

PCG started primarily as a clone company, and have moved more towards seeds in the past couple of years. They work with elite cuts, and produce fire. They even have an autoflower, Saltwater OG, which tests at 28% thc. I've have some of their cuts now too which are fire.

I think from that list, I would go for the Grashopper or the Turnover. Apple Fritter is one of the newest elite clones on the market. Everyone likes something different tho.

approx. don't quote me. lol

per gram breakdown (or ml)

 

[rkymtnman]

damn, so i need 3 g of epsom per gallon to be the same with the RO .

i've only been using 1 g per gal

yep, that's what i figured too: 100ppm Su

But then won't you "jack" your mag levels up too high?

thanks for the info. i look at that list and it's like looking at a foreign language to me. i'd probably just close my eyes and point to one.

This is their current clone selection. $20 a cut at most dispos.

probably so. i've got one with 2 weeks left to go so i might experiment on her.

damn, so how do get that much Su? potassium sulfate would just blast K thru the roof too.

This is my goto veg recipe. Coco, so I run Ca/Mg higher in veg/early bloom.....or else I can get defs.
I start with RO.

i'm really liking this 3-1-4 from the RO from start to finish. i was a Lucas guy 1-2-2 but this NPK seems much better suited to weed. and with my well water, i dont' need any ca or mg

yours is pretty close to that 3-1-4 too.

 

[TintEastwood]

As I understand it...

Based on the PPM values, this is the actual NPK % Ratio

gotcha. i was doing the label NPK just for an ez comparison. 12-4-16 RO vs 4-8-7 floranova bloom

oh yeah, but you are right if i did a label comparison the 321 would be 5-12-26 + 15-0-0 for 20-12-26. (1.5-1-2) ish.

sorry @jonnynobody for doing my complex mathematics here!!! lol

but i'm on board with you after many years on the GH train. Jacks is the shiz-nit for cannabis.

Anyone know where I could get some Jacks or equivalent in Australia?
