Is it because you are using fox farm that you need the cal mag? Or is it because of the water that you use??

I used the ff trio and ran into calmag issues, so I'd say it is. Didn't supplement back then cause I thought the line had enough in it, obviously not. Lol

Always used a combination of general purpose and tomato Miracle Grow. Never had a problem. My current little White Widow is moving along just fine.

Nice. I can't say I haven't ran the good old mg in the past. Lol ran into issues with nute burn, mainly because I was mixing in larger containers 55gln drums to be exact to feed my garden. I guess it ended up being to hot for the mj. That's when I decided to go with something more cannabis friendly. (:

Most folks make the mistake of following the outdoor mixture levels and use the large tablespoon per gallon. That will burn them up every single time. You use the indoor guide and smaller spoon per gallon and you'll never have an issue.

And that's exactly what I believe I did. Mainly because I was outdoors feeding the garden.. may give it a try again. (:

Never had that problem. I use another cheap alternative from the beginning: A 5 dollar bag of Lime from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Espoma-6-75-lb-Garden-Lime-100508617/203192761

You can either mix it with the soil when you plant or mix it with water and water it in later. Either way.

CalMag was made more for hydroponics growers. Lime is what you use in soil. You use the lime, you'll never again have a need for the CalMag. You can't really have any decent soil crop of any kind without a bit of lime added.

Will do.. I'm going to purchase a bag of soil today. How much lime would you recommend to add?

If you're in pots, 2-4 table spoons per plant unless it's a really big pot. I grow in 3 gallon containers on current grow and I put in 4. I just add it with the soil and perlite in my wheelbarrow, mix it up really good and then into the pot it goes. Water it down with RO water to settle it, top it off, then it's ready to go.

Cool, I'm going to just mix it directly into the bag. I'm thinking along side of bone meal, cotton seed, kelp, and a excelerite for added micros.

I don't use any of that junk. Just regular old, cheap ass Miracle Grow potting soil, Perlite, and that bag of lime. That's it.

I spent a grand total of 40 bucks for the last two grows I've done and still have enough materials left to do 3 or 4 more at least.

Finally. I found someone that is using Jacks. Ok, can it be used with hydro? I had planned on running a few soil, and a few dro. I'm currently running soil and about finshed up, just wanted to know if Jacks was good for hydro. Also, would you recommend adding in calmag along side of Jacks? Do you run it all the way through flowering, or so you switch from the all purpose line to the bloom? Sorry to bombard you with all the questions, just hadn't seen many using Jacks. Thanks for any insight in advance

They have 2 hydro formulas, I always tell hydro growers to check out DynaGro
