Can someone please give me the cut and dry low down of what is needed. Understand this is great stuff and affordable.

Thanks!

Yes it is. I use general purpose and switch to bloom booster in bloom. I run an EC from .8 to 1.8 depending. I also add calmag plus. I use nothing else. I can pretty much measure quantities and be pretty close from just scoop measurements. I do check the ec though. I do pH the final product.

Also very interested as well. I use Coco and RDWC. @RM3 is correct with sulfur.
@RM3 would you say what your using would do well in my grow?
Also do you use the jacks calcium ?
I use Maxi dry and love it, but jacks is cheaper in bulk and isnt coloured.

Have no idea ? never used coco and if I need Cal I use gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
IOW every thing i add besides an npk nute is some form of sulfur 8)

If sulfur feeds the trichs, which cannabinoid is sulfur found in? If it enchances the smell which terp is it found in?

I do agree that Jack's classic lacks enough sulfur and thus needs to be supplemented, but beyond that, how can you backup the claim that sulfur feeds the trichs?

That wouldn't prove anything. The sulfur deficient plant would turn yellow and eventually die. Of course a sufficient level of sulfur will produce a healthier plant and thus a better product.

Me and you grow in very different ways. When I don't add sulfur, the plant gets ~0 sulfur. I make my own hydro nutes from base salts. If i don't add any sulfur, there's none there.

"1 gets sulfur one don't"

That means one plant would die. No sulfur, no ferredoxin, non-working photosystem 1.

well I don't know what to tell ya then ?

Sulfur makes peppers hotter
Sulfur makes oranges sweeter

These things are well know

Sulfur makes MJ more potent

This is not so well known but never the less true as well

Perhaps give one what you normally do and double the dose on the other one ?

It seems like Howard Resh agrees with you on high sulfur levels (at least for tomatoes and peppers). I'm checking through the recipe list in HydroBuddy, and Howard Resh's tomato formula at maturity calls for 144ppm of S. By contrast, the University of Florida's Tomato "to termination" formula calls for 60ppm of S. Howard Resh's Pepper formula calls for a whopping 360ppm of S...

But I don't grow peppers, I grow weed! In order for me to increase S to 360ppm, I'd have to decrease P and N, AND shoot K though the roof. My current mix has an S of around 55ppm.

Well I also shoot K thru the roof because I mostly use Potassium Sulfate to increase sulfur levels.

You may not always agree with me but I promise sulfur increases potency
