I used Jack's 20-20-20 all through veg and into first few weeks of flower. Now am using a different bloom fertilizer with molasses in flower. I have 2 ten footers and the others are well over six feet in soil outdoor. I can say the Jacks worked well except for my temperamental 9lb Hammer needed a diluted formula.

Just get a bottle of DynaGro Foliage Pro. Its really all you need. If you want a bloom nutrient as well get their Bloom, but its not really needed. Cheap and effective.

This was done with only foliage pro and protekt (silica) and it turned out great.

This stuff? How much in a one gallon watering jug? Thanks.

Yup thats the stuff. I always gave at 1/2 strength, a little more if needed, but I found for my girls 1/2 strength was just fine. Start at half, if you think they need more then up it a little. Use the same amount as "Grow" which is what foliage pro is replacing. Grow is a 7-9-5, FoliagePro is a 9-3-6. If you can afford it, grab some Protekt as well. Its a silica supplement is the shit is awesome. My plants were strong as hell and didnt seem to care at all about 100+ temps for a week, and 90's for weeks on end. Im trying out H&G soil for this run, but I still use Protekt. Gonna do a side by side next time.

Theres no one super awesome nutrient that will make all your plants gorgeous 100% of the time. Ive heard awesome things about jacks as well though Ive never looked into it myself. I chose DynaGro because it was so simple. And very very concentrated. For a $15 bottle... I didn't even use half of it that entire grow. I boight a bottle of Bloom, and I used 50/50 FoliagePro/Bloom on a few of my plants but I never saw a difference so I stopped adding it all together. It really depends on your plants though. If you fell you need more p-k during bloom, add the bloom. GH trio seems to be a great one as well, Fox Farms trio, whatever you use, you'll be fine really. Environmentals, good watering habits, good lighting... Those are all just as crucial if not more so than which brand of bottles you purchase.

I get bumper crop 1-2-3 ratio tomato powder feed

1-2-3 + TN + Cal/mag

All I "need" to add to that is some kinda seaweed if I wanna be fancy

then I like a 3-1-2 or something like that for veg but hell the bumper tomato powder will do it if need be, just regs might end up with a few more males

Damn. Very impressive. 100+ and 90s is hard on a plant. Thanks for the great tips.
 
I just switched over from Advanced Nutrients to the Earth Juice (powder) line up, waaaay less expensive and so far looks as good or better for a fraction of the cost. 25 days into flower and a bonanza of buds!!! Indoor with 1000 HPS lights, 7 gallon pots, Using some additives, Aminos, Seaweed + Humic Acid, Silica, Yucca as a wetting agent, Molasses. Growing Blue Dream, Canadian TrainWreck x Green Crack and some Sour Deisel. My well water is ok but I add just a pinch of Cal mag once a week and they seem to love it. First grow with the powders so far so good.

I'm still using All Purpose Miracle Grow for veg and Tomato Miracle Grow for Flower.

Never had a problem. I spent 10 bucks on one small box of each 2 years ago. Still got just over half a box each left.
