I am always down for reading what the "cult" following grows are doing, and one of them has been using Jack's Pro Hydroponic and Cal-Nit combo. So I thought I would do ONE more grow log with my findings.
After about a month researching this, and it's not very straight forward as many threads are derailed, never updated etc. So things like how people mix these two, how much to run etc.. are a bit confusing. So... I bit the bullet and ordered two FIVE POUND bags of each for under 50 bucks shipped. Cheap?! Wow that's welfare cheap! Especially most are running jacks in Ebb and Flow or Hempy buckets, not too many DWC buckets.
I ordered my combo bucket here:
Order these Nutrients Here
This was the first step that was confusing, only real green houses carry this stuff. I couldn't find any decent online retailers that were open or had any stock, or just too confusing to order it. JR Peters site is where you need to go, I ordered on a Monday and received mine on a Thursday the same week. I was wondering how to store these powders as the site shows them in a bag, but they ended up in plastic pails! Nice.
Also they come with a scoop, damn it's Christmas!! They also threw a nice double logo scoop in that was broken by the weight of the massive 5lb tubs (at least compared to the little ones I have bought in the past).
Now to get my usual 400-500 ppm of solution I did the following :
At that rate if these work as expected these tubs will last me MANY MANY YEARS!!! I will probably have to buy more because they are solid blocks from humidity from sitting so long! That would be AWESOME!
Here is my Sour Sky-Walker OG at about 1 week of veg, this is the first day in Jack's solution, as she was in Dyna for a week prior.
I am running this on a Berry Bomb plant as well that is in veg day one in this same solution. We will see how the two strains like or dis-like the solution with Jack's.
Both plants will be scrogged and vegged/flowered like normal to limit the tangibles in this experiment.
The solution has a slight blue hue to it, with the Cal-Nit dye. Seems clean and pure mixes really fast, and well. No sitting with the solutions I made them then in they go to the plants. I NEVER do any of that horse shit that others seem to be sacramental if you do not do it. Pfft.
Hopefully we can get an answer on if these fertilizers work as people state, and at the cost it was worth the effort to find out.

Now to get my usual 400-500 ppm of solution I did the following :
- Filled the 2 gallon veg bucket up with 1 gallon of RO (Reverse Osmosis) water.
- Added Hydroponic 5-12-26 at 3/8 teaspoon.
- Mix well.
- Added 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom Salts mixed in warm water, then added to 1 gallon Hydro solution already with Jack's.
- Mix well.
- This is the most important step from what I have gathered, is adding the Calcium Nitrate (Cal-Nit). I used a separate gallon jug of RO water and added 1/4 teaspoon of Cal-Nit and mixed well, THEN added it to my bucket of solution. Mixing in the Cal-Nit directly in your solution bucket can cause chemical participates (junk and particles of fertilizer reacting together in too strong concentrate).
- Added DutchMasters Gold Zone at 1ml per gallon. (Trying sterile in buckets as well).
At that rate if these work as expected these tubs will last me MANY MANY YEARS!!! I will probably have to buy more because they are solid blocks from humidity from sitting so long! That would be AWESOME!
