You use cannabis specific nutes for your medical cannabis? What are you thinkingIf you're not Buying AN then you're a Fool!!!
What do you use?Ya, i pH a mix once...if it drifts out of range .2-.4 points alki or acidic thats unstable to me, not worth the effort for possible insulability issues...
The mix i use last 4 days before it moves a .1
I use a combination of green planet 3 part and some organics, their 3 part base is tunable in early veg late flower or finicky plants to lower N or minors will still retianing a base min of macro/micro nutrients...at leats for me...i may over be overcomplicating it but i like to be thoroughWhat do you use?
I just buy the dry salts and add water for a fraction of the cost. Cannabis specific nutrients are a marketing scam to begin with. Cannabis is just another plant.
Although I think I agree with both of you, I would have no idea where to start, what to buy and what ratio.Learn how to mix your own, you dont have to worry which nute line. I've used miraclegrow in my mix before or whatever is available.
Once you have the NPK where you want it to be (according to your formula), add...
epsom and calmag (for sulfur, calcium, and magnesium)
kelp (for vitamins)
silica
other additives (alfaalfa, aloe) for growth hormones
Ive been using TechNaFlora for 6 yrs. Great results. Outstanding yields, color + terps.I have used only GH MaxiGrow/MaxiBloom with Calmag & pH+ for years, but last year I received 2 "Technaflora" sample starter kits for free at out Cannabis trade show, which I'm currently using with my hempy grow....they appear to be doing well but time will tell how well.
I like that they are pH balance, so I never have to adjust the pH, but a pain in the butt to measure the different nutes...below are the bottles from just one kit.

I'm a bit ticked off with GH as they changed the formula for MaxiBloom 3 times now but never stated this on the packaging or website.
The original formula is on the left, version 2 on the right

Then last year they changed again....version 3 looks like kool-aid but does seem to mix up better.
PS: I would use an old blender to mix the nutes, work so much more efficient than the shake method

Anyhow...I also received a free kit of "Diablo" nutes which I may try on my next grow but once again a shit load of nutes to measure

Agreed & why i was willing to spend more.Although I think I agree with both of you, I would have no idea where to start, what to buy and what ratio.
So until I will get smarter, I will just buy nutrients from the shelf.
Just started on Jacks.My two cents worth is to stay with powders. I use Jacks 321 formula but whichever powders you use will be effective and a heck of a lot more economical than the premixed liquids. I also experiment a little with no till growing but for now it's more of a science project/labor of love.
Where can I get all these testers lol damnI have used only GH MaxiGrow/MaxiBloom with Calmag & pH+ for years, but last year I received 2 "Technaflora" sample starter kits for free at out Cannabis trade show, which I'm currently using with my hempy grow....they appear to be doing well but time will tell how well.

Attached is the link to the Vancouver Expo 2020 / Lift & Co, but not sure which cities are scheduled.....I missed the 2020 but attended the 2019 showWhere can I get all these testers lol damn
I mix Jacks in separate solo cups, lukewarm water, and then add it to my water bucket. The calcium and epsom salts dissolve fairly quickly but the 5-12-26 takes more time. I start about 10 minutes before watering and walk by every couple of minutes with a chopstick and stir it up. I also add the same amount of powdered fulvic acid as the epsom salts and a mycorrhizal innoculant. It has worked really well for me and I haven't checked my ph since starting the 321. Everybody seems healthy and happy so far. If it was me I might follow the 321 program and maybe add your other nutrients to one plant and see if it's beneficial or detrimental.Just started on Jacks.
So do you mix the Jacks in a small amount of hot water so to dissolve?
I find it necessary to do with the Epsom & separately, the Cal-Nit (little balls).
Have a large amount of Veg/Bloom left over from a trail run. Wasn't to happy with it. But, i have a decent amount of V/B, LIFE left. Wonder how that would do as an additive to the Jacks 321. Any thoughts? I add Floralicious Plus once a week as is.
