Man I was on the fence this morning about switching the flower room back to jack's 5-12-26 and I pulled the trigger. I can't help but keep thinking how much better the quality of the pot was in both flavor and burn qualities with jack's versus maxi. The only reason I ever switched to maxi is because I was under the impression I might have been missing something by not using a cannabis specific fertilizer. Not only was my GPW ratio better with jack's, but the pot burned and tasted better. I feel like a real heal for taking this long to get back to jack's.jacks=lots of Sulfur
maxi=none
i'm using Jack's RO formula now (the new 1 part they have). i like DG foliage pro but it does need way more Mg.Rkymtnman do you use both jacks and dyno? Or do you use dyno strictly a "foliar spray"
Did you feel like there was any observable variance in flavor or burn qualities after you switched to the jack's RO?@jonnynobody
i was a longtime Lucas user . once i got my setup dialed in years ago, i started with different nutes and ratios. i am now firmly a believer in the ratio that uncle ben and fatman recommended for hydro. 3-1-2 or 3-1-4. which led me to Jacks RO and Dyna Gro Foliage Pro. my results have never been better.
i think better overall health until chop with jacks. and dyna gro. i think that npk ratio is better . i add epsom to any nute that doesn't have sulfur. and the ro formula does not have sulfur. the 5-12-26 has tons of it.Did you feel like there was any observable variance in flavor or burn qualities after you switched to the jack's RO?
I don't weigh each plant due to the number and amount I process at harvest time. It would just be too complicated to produce a number that doesn't really mean anything to me. I only care about total yield. Some strains I run are capable of much higher yields based on genetics. Some strains I run are not capable of high yields based on genetics. So how much per plant? That's kind of a loaded question, isn't it? I will tell you this, the most I have harvested out of a 5 gallon bucket was over 2# from a single Jager plant. I can not emphasize this enough - GENETICS DETERMINE YIELD! Assuming you know what you're doing of course. Certain strains simply do not produce heavy branching and heavy flower production. Other strains do.4-6 zips per?
Was hoping I could use a 2.5 gal bucket and yield about 4-6 per plant to save on space.
In your opinion...yay or nay?
Btw nice pics!
should work fine.3 inches high
To water less frequently is the idea.
i should have put this in that reply: i'm gonna try a higher hole this summer in my tomato hempys. they get huge and i almsot need to water them 2x a day. i might even go up to 4"3 inches high

Yeah tomatoes get hungry! Might upgrade to an aeration stone in my gravity feed. Was also hoping to try hempy with peppers if I get time for it!i should have put this in that reply: i'm gonna try a higher hole this summer in my tomato hempys. they get huge and i almsot need to water them 2x a day. i might even go up to 4"
that's a good idea about the peppers. my tomatoes do great here but my peppers only get like 1 or 2 fruits on them. maybe they'll do better in a hempy? have to try one.Yeah tomatoes get hungry!

You can't over water Hempy.How much water is too much water for a hempy? Bought a couple of these totes: http://www.quantumstorage.com/snt230
Every inch is close to 5550 ml (1.5 gal), so at 2 inches I will have almost 3 gal of water at one time in the bottom of the tote. Could easily do 1/2 inch hole on one side and 2 inch hole on the opposite side of the tote.
My idea is to transfer once. From the clone tray to the tote.
The clones are quite developed and have extremely long roots that would reach the bottom easily.
Nonetheless, even at 1/2 inch that is a little more than 2000 ml of water that a clone could drink from.
Thoughts?
