Found cheap Jack's equivalent

Found cheap nutrients for hydro, but...
They have 8% N. Of which is 3% NO3 (nitrate) and 5% NH2.

Is this any trouble for DTW in coco or perlite? I know fully nitrate nitrogen would be better. Anyone grows with NH2 too?

I am not an expert on nutes.
So no clue.

There are many cheap nutes. By Peters or Yara for example.
Especially dry nutes are cheap.

That's what I am looking for. But Peters is unvailable in EU, and Yara not available in my country. Found 25 kg for 60€ but I am not sure about amino nitrogen.

The cannabis growers that I know that use Yara are using Yara Brown and Yara Calcinit.
They start with A (Calcinit) and B (Yara Kristal Brown - some use the Orange) in the proportion 1:1 in the first week.
And they build this up to A:B in the proportion 1:1.5.
(be careful how to mix!)

I also know growers who use Peters Combi Sol.
Most add a bit of Epsom salt then (same with Yara Orange)

Peters is available in Europe as @Florere already stated. It is JR Peters I think that is not available.

You can order Yara and Peters in Germany for example. They ship all over Europe.

Which country are you from, @KonopCh ?
Switzerland?

That brown/orange Yara is little high with K, especially for coco.
I don't think so, but again: I am no expert.
Perhaps it is a little low on P (when you use Brown with Calcinit)
But most people add extra P anyway when they use pH-
So the P numbers could also be ok probably.

The Yara Brown is used by growers with a good reputation and they have solid and great yields.
