    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    I would say that I owe everything I know about salt mixing to im4satori and it saddens my heart to hear that he passed. I've since greatly expanded the topic of making one's own nutes from scratch and made a few vids for how to use Hydro Buddy, but I would've had none of that understanding but...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    I switched to Jacks from GH a few years back. I didn't like Jacks (321) much either. I now make all of my own nutes and using Hydro Buddy, I can change the elemental content to my heart's desire while still spending less than buying into Jack's In fact, I discourage all branded blends. I...

    My Grow (1st Journal on this site)

    Soils generally are PH buffered, so whatever the PH of the solution you pour in is won't matter, it will conform to the soil PH. Here is my HB video on YouTube, though I must disclaim that HB cannot reverse engineer nute lines with info given on a label's guaranteed analysis because that info...

    The CORRECT homemade TERPINATOR/RESINATOR formula!

    Bro Science can't find links. Mods kindly hide that fact by deleting the last 3 pages of Bro Scientist not proving his claim.

    The CORRECT homemade TERPINATOR/RESINATOR formula!

    ooooohhhh, now you wanted the good reason, my bad, because you said that you meant there is NO REASON, but now you want the good reason. I suppose you're also going to remind me about that one time I left the toilet seat up too. You asked for "A" reason, I gave you 2, and asked you for "A"...

    The CORRECT homemade TERPINATOR/RESINATOR formula!

    Now hows about you go get me some links that will tell me why I should NOT use silica during bloom?

    The CORRECT homemade TERPINATOR/RESINATOR formula!

    Silica also aids a plant’s ability to withstand stress from temperature and drought.The strong cell walls are better able to expand and contract during extreme temperature changes so that the stress has less of an impact. This is especially helpful outdoors in the cooler seasons, when...

    You sure schooled me!

    The CORRECT homemade TERPINATOR/RESINATOR formula!

    So you have no links, that's cool. I've been using silica since 2013 and never once had black ash and my buds burn just right. I have grown w/o silica and see nothing but benefits from growing with it. Also, I've never heard of discontinuing after veg until just now. And since I make 100% of...

    The CORRECT homemade TERPINATOR/RESINATOR formula!

    Can you link us to literature that proves that silica during bloom takes away from buds and/or smokability, or is this just your opinion?

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    I do not use VPD and my room uses roughly 1500 watts of LED. I am speaking strictly from a nutrient perspective. Also, I am not a fan of ratios, I just utilize experience via trial and error. Here is a pic of my bloom feed. My feed is on par with most/all other known recipes that growers...

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    By my estimation, your P is severely toxic, N is too low and it should list how much nitrate and ammonium is used, Fe is too low and the rest of the micros are okay. Mixing micros is easy as long as you target each element in good ranges. Learning Hydro Buddy is the hardest part, but once you...

    20 in veg and 40 in bloom. Farside does 50 the whole time.

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    On 420, there's a grower that I respect named Farside05 that grows with MC, Silica and Calmag that always had flawless looking plants. He also reverse engineered Pro Mix, and since I use his Faux Mix, it just seemed like a good recipe to model after. Like I said, I changed P and K as well as...

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    My feeds are based on Megacrop, though I use a lot more P, and less K, also I use a lot more Si.

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    I also get Granular Amino Acid and a blend of Humic/Fulvic/Kelp from Kelp4Less. https://www.kelp4less.com/shop/ Edit - DO NOT get powder amino acid. That shit is like brown sugar and sucks the moisure out of the air to form a block. The granular is the way to go there.

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    Here's a link to my Bill Of Materials. MAP isn't included, but that's the only one I bought after writing that up. The micros will only need to be purchased once. Here's where I get most of my stuff, but Greenway also sells some, Build-a-Soil, Amazon and likely other place. Aint gonna lie...

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    Yeah, that's your call. I was just suggesting that if you're going to try other brands, to consider just buying salts and make your own brand. 321 requires you to use the scales every time you gotta weigh things out, but salts you only need to use a scale every few months.

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    You can't mix Jack's or STEM into concentrates because the micros, Iron in particular are not chelated and they WILL oxidize within hours and turn into rust water. To make micros into concentrates, they MUST be chelated with organic acids like DTPA, EDDTA, EDTA, Amino etc. Also, I keep...

    Jack's 3-2-1 question

    Perhaps you can find someone's spreadsheet to use on your phone? IDK enough about MS Excel to know if they run on phones, but it's a possibility. But for the freedom a grower gains from mixing his own blend, to me it's well worth it to buy an old PC to use. My laptop is from 2012 and...
