So I am passing on knowledge here that I learned elsewhere. If you are interested in producing amazing cannabis without spending a ton on bottled nutrients, here is my Jack's 321 schedule that produced some amazing cannabis. I use this in a hybrid soil/soilless medium that is 40% generic potting soil, 20% each perlite, coco and vermiculate, and a cup of diatomaceous earth per 5 gallons of media.

VEG
Every Watering
PowerSi -1/2 tsp. per 5 gal
Part A - 3g/gal
Part B - 2g/gal
Epsom Salt - 1g/gal
Mr. Fulvic - 1 tsp. per 5 gal

Weekly
Recharge - 3 tsp. per 5 gal
Tribus - 1 tsp. per 5 gal

FLOWER
Every Watering
PowerSi - 1/2 tsp. per 5 gal
Part A - 3.6g/gal
Part B - 2.4g/gal
Epsom Salt - 1.2g/gal
Mr. Fulvic - 1 tsp. per 5 gal

Weekly
Tribus - 1/2 tsp. per 5 gal

Make sure you mix each part separately and make sure it is completely dissolved before adding the next part. In week 4 and 5 I have been using Beastie Bloomz as a PK boost. You can use whatever. I just have this left over from my Foxfarm days so have been using it up. Last two weeks before I cut them down, I flush with Mr. Fulvic and water. I am going to be transitioning to the full Impello line including replacing PowerSi with Dune and using Tundra for the PK boost for future grows. Here is my most recent chop that came down today that I used this lineup.

For sure! Although I would think you would want to go ahead and use the Calcium Nitrate as well. I have heard of doing without the Epsom, but not without the Cal. Nit.

I think they meant just the 321 without the PowerSi, Mr. Fulvic, Recharge or Tribus.

Nice write up.
Have you read on the benefits of calcium in mid flower? Build A Soil has a PK boost that is amazing with 10% available calcium. I like to use it once a week between week 5-8.

1g/epsom per/gal even with their "one part" RO blend or your plants will not make it PARTICULARLY IN SOILLESS COCO ETC.

Tribus is gunna hate me but if you wanna brew your super overpriced little bottle of Tribus into gallons of Tribus just dose 2x strength into a gallon and add some Microbe Catalyst like this: https://www.kisorganics.com/products/kis-organics-microbe-catalyst

You can make gallons of the shit instead of paying $60 every time your 250 ml bottle runs out.

Jack's Part A has cal/mag in it already. Flowering recommendations for Epsom Salt is 1.2g/gal. while Jack's Part A gets a bump to 3.6g/gal in flower so that little bit isn't doing all the heavy lifting. Thanks for the recommendaiton on Tribus...neat!

I use flora nova bloom and Epsom only in coco with great results and FNB is on sale right now for 60 a gallon that will last a long time since I don’t go over 1/2 strength ever.
I have mega crop 2 part just like jacks but haven’t given it much of a try yet because the FNB is just so easy to use.
