Wow that's close to 4x what I paid. Might be supply issues or something.Yeah 50 bucks for 25lbs on Amazon for the mega crop Calnit but I’m sure there is other options out there
Thank you very much, that place is way cheaper even on the small 4lb bags and more so on the bulk bags.Good online salt store.

After seeing your post about the bump to 2.0 ec solving your deficiency problems I thought maybe I need to adjust mine. A day or two ago I saw the tell tale sign of a calcium deficiency beginning. Tiny little dot rust spots on a few leaves. The plants also did not look as vibrant as they should. I bumped up my ppm to 865 and watered all the plants with the increased strength. That was yesterday afternoon. I checked them in the evening before lights out and they were still sickly looking, but I contributed to that by reducing the power on the lights for about 12 hours. I for a second thought it could be light burn. After the plants drooped and wilted from the reduced light power it was clear the dots had nothing to do with the lights. I increased power to 60% on all lights. This morning I went down to check 'em all out expecting the worst after the sorry sight in there from last night. To my surprise every single plant in there is back to vibrant growth with all leaves pointing to the lights. I dam near couldn't believe it.Day 1 flower

After 5 weeks veg from seed 2.0ec, I started to see a bit of tip burn

Other than that everything seems good.

I like the idea of putting the rubber collars directly in the bucket lid. What happens to those rubber collars when the stalk gets big? My stalks usually end up as big as those collars.Day 1 flower

If not for your post about getting positive results from your increase to 2.0ec I'd probably still have sickly looking plants this morning. Thanks to you I'm back on track. Your plants look fantastic! Still jealous of that auto watering system
is this the 321 or the RO or Tap formula?I am really frustrated though that Jack's isn't working out.

looks like Mg on some leaves. if you run 321 vs 3part in a nute calculator, i wonder what the ppm of Mg is in each one?
Yeah, I'm kind of thinking I maybe jumped the gun and could have tried raising my ph from 5.8 to around 6.2 to see if that helped.looks like Mg on some leaves. if you run 321 vs 3part in a nute calculator, i wonder what the ppm of Mg is in each one?
@TintEastwood usually has all these common formulas on hand.
do you use fulvics or humics? i've used both and i've been much more "forgiving" with my pH. i'm like low 5's to mid 6's now.Yeah, I'm kind of thinking I maybe jumped the gun and could have tried raising my ph from 5.8 to around 6.2 to see if that helped.
That's one of the few things I haven't tried after trying to get Jack's to work over 3 grows now.
I may just give that a shot instead...just sucks to keep changing out a 30gal rez of RO...
I don't use either.do you use fulvics or humics? i've used both and i've been much more "forgiving" with my pH. i'm like low 5's to mid 6's now.
never used the 321 so can't help much. i'm still curious about the Mg levels in each though just for shits and gigglesI don't use either.
Just the 321 with Ro ph'd to 5.8. Runoff consistently comes out @ 6.2.
Cool, I'll have to give that a try. thanksThey seem to just make their own space. They're inside 2" net pots. Never really noticed an issue.
