Makes sense, either way I guess.

What's the mix for stock solution
And how many mil per gal to get the desired 321 target

There was a lot of information in this thread. Recipies and formulas to play with!
But did jonny beat the mites and make nice with Jack's? It was a year long show worthy of an award. From the great success to the horrible tragedy, all growers felt his joy and pain.
Well jonny? It's been a couple of months. How goes the grow?

My favorite discussion in it was the part where they were talking about why some people burn their tips with a high EC while others do well with it. Some people were doing great with 2.2 EC, like Renfro and Smoke, but it was burning the hell out of other people who tried it. What it came down to was, the guys doing fine with the high EC were tuning in VPD, temps, and co2. Just really goes to show how important every single environmental factor is to a grow, and one thing...like RH...can bottleneck you. There were some really interesting conversations going on here.

I’m using a brand called ENVY. Identical to Jack’s except it has magnesium and sulfur in Part 1. I’ve been using 3 grams of Part I and 2 grams of the Part 2 (calcium nitrate) and getting great results. Not real crazy about the magnesium being included but it has not presented any kind of problem.
In business since 1962 and they’re used extensively in hydroponics. Just cheaper because you can buy small bags of the stuff.

No doubt. I accidentally unplugged my environmental controller for 10 minutes. The humidity went from 50% to 70%. The girls are transpiring like crazy so I know the flow is cranking.
But my feeding and nute schedule are waaaay different than anything I've seen here. Lol. I run a low profile RDWC. Instead of buckets I use a large tray with holes cut in the lid. The roots hang down and spread across the 42" x 42" tray. Some in this thread ran nutes once or twice a day. I fill it once an hour then it pumps the mix back to the reservoir. NS. They don't dry out. It is a large space. Because I run it so often I rarely went above 650-700 ppm with Floranova from GH. My best harvest I ran it at 550 ppm for the last 5 weeks. It was great. I guess the multiple fillings at low nutrients gave them what they needed for bulk.
However, I am getting off the bottle nutrients. Tired of it. I heard good things about Jack's. I never got the flavors or terps I wanted with Floranova either. The strain I'm growing is not a heavy feeder. Flo OG.
So I read Jonny and saw his photos. They looked great. I watched greengenes on youtube. His style looks great.

The choice of Floranova had nothing to do with any perceived lack of terps or flavor.
That's bro-science 101

Not at all, just pointing out nonsense.
If you want better terps and flavor, try different genetics.

He pointed out a fact that you apparently disagree with so that means he's not being nice? What is happening to this world...

Try not to call people trolls when all they do is disagree with what your opinion may be.

I believe you used jacks tap in the past yeah? I’m going to try half my table next run with a separate reservoir to see how I like it. Not very stoked on ph fluctuations like I’ve heard from numerous other users though, as I like to mix and ph once and be done with it until next fill.

GreenGenes is great. I built one his lights. He experiments a bit. Mr. GrowIt on YouTube is even better IMO. He is constantly seeking more knowledge & he is already a fountain of it.

You are right! Both of them have a lot of knowledge.
I have no experience with building lights. That's cool! Is it hard?
By the way, funny thing about Mr. Grow it's show. His cat constantly photo bombs him in the background! It's hilarious!

No, it wasn't difficult at all & probably much cheaper now than when I did it.

i had bad pH drops with the Tap so they gave me a bag of RO to try and it's stable for about a week

I bet it is. They have some serious competition now.
The new LEDs are nice. I think the one with the removable magnetic bars is sweet.
