I would just like to point out this comment did not stick to the topic, and probably does not belong here as it contained no valuable information.

Right now im trying a combo of fox farm, and GH nutrients. Working great for me.

Went from bottled to all dry nutrients, life got pretty easy after that and now i don't burn plants or the microherd lmao..

Fwiw, botanicare & earth juice was the easiest for me to use from a bottle, I've also tried FF & AN but the learning curve can get silly from pheno to pheno.

Calcium Nitrate, Mono Potassium Phosphate, Magnesium Sulfate, Pekacid, Potassium Sulfate, Potassium Nitrate, Potassium Silicate, Iron DTPA, Copper Sulfate, Boric Acid, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Molybdate, Zinc Sulfate.

Thanks for pointing that out, is this better? Anyone still using bottled nutes should get their feet wet with Jack's 5-12-26, calcium nitrate, epsom salt, and MKP.., there's threads on this site on how to mix it for veg or flower, if anyone has questions they can feel free to PM me. After you've used jack's and are comfortable weighing out salts move on to making your own mix, how's that for valuable information?

Bottled nutes work great! For me at least, and I can just buy a bottle and I’m done so it’s easy as well. That was a great reply man, you should be very proud of yourself! I know we all are!! Cheers

For 160 Liters of Soil = 35.5 Gallons = 4.75 Cubic
Fish Emulsion 2.5 Tablespoons
Bone Meal 2.5 Cups
Blood Meal 4.75 Cups
Aflalfa Meal 4.75 Cups
Crab Meal 4.75 Cups
Langbeinite 4.75 Tablespoons
Kelp Extract 4.75 Teaspoons
Mineral Sand 4.75 Cups
Dolomite 4 Cups
Epson Salt 1/4 cup.
Humic/Fulvic 1 Cup
Bokashi Bran 2 Cups

The wet ingredients were added to a sprayer and sprayed on as it was mixed.

This is given a simple EWC/Compost Tea with molasses at week 2. Give it a little extra boost.

I put this stuff in my soil then feed water. Maybe a tea in flower. It's burning them in veg.

I still use GH Maxi-Grow/Bloom in my hempy buckets because it's easy and cheap

I picked up two different free samples from our cannabis show but they just look way too complicated

A decent list but I would probably only use 5 of those ingredients. At least your kind of contributing now instead of being condescending. Well you're still being condescending but 1 out of 2 ain't bad. There's information on the net of how to fix cars, but that does not make you better than a mechanic. Sometimes its a personal preference to buy nutes and additives. You may see it as a waste while they see it as a convenience. The negative comments toward how some people approach feeding their plants just really isn't necessary imo, but thanks for the info about Jacks. I will have to see what they put inside the bottle before I decide to give it a shot.

have you calculated what your individual ppms are for this mix for bloom especially?
NPKCaMgS if you have them??

i've lurking around thc farmer and one profile that a lot of the "better" growers seem to like is:
120-60-300-120-60-177

Bloom:
N91
P69
K154
Mg51
Ca95
S again not sure but it's around 70-80

there were a few guidelines as to why they like their numbers:
P 60 or less to not kill bennies
K 2.5 times the N value for drain to waste setups
Ca: Mg 2:1 ratio
S they all loved lots of sulfur

I agree the EC does seem like it would be high but I was gonna add water to get it to an EC where I felt comfortable trying it out.

it's based on Jalisco Kid and Dankworth on that forum if you want to check it out. just search for that string of ppm's i wrote down.

and the best part is I can do it with maxigro, maxibloom, calimagic and potassium sulfate.
