Your plants look great and look just like my strains used to look with CES Nutrients.

I notice you aren't using just Jacks 321 though. You are using supplements too.

Which gets me back to my point, Jacks 321 is not complete as all the youtube videos say.

I bought Jacks 321 to learn how each micro/macro works and be able to adjust them, so if it's just the MPK I need to buy and play around so be it.

I did go out and purchase CaliMagic and tried adding this at 1.2ml per gallon and then 2.5ml per gallon. No change.

I tried switching from my R/O water (20ppm) to store bought distilled water and no change.

And this last couple weeks I have been using 3/4 distilled water and 1/4 (24 hour sitting out) of my home tap water, which comes out to 115ppm as my base water before nutrients.

My environment is spot on, I have good gear. Cloudine t8 with temp/humidity controller, fans for air flow, I'm in a tent with my own leds (samsung 301b) - my numbers are 500-600 depending on how tall each plant is.. I use apogee sq520 for readings.

Would you mind recommending which MPK I should buy?

And also, what is your ppm towards end of veg?

Thank you!
I stopped using mpk several runs ago. Finding it better to adjust the jacks AB ratios.

You mentioned veg problems. In veg I keep it simple.

Most recent runs in flower I've been jacking around with different NPK ratios, with very few supplements other than calimagic and Si.

I've had my share of horrible calmag and K tox in the past. But that was all me.

I typically dont exceed 1.8ec.
Week 9 I'm at 800. 1.6ec

Wow, thanks SO much Tint!

I have been following KoolMed and GreenGenes and using way too much Jacks apparently.

Will be following your regiment and threads from now on.

Thank you thank you, Have a great weekend!

Very pretty, thanks so much for the response, with the pictures.

Do you use these two nutrients the entire life, all the way through flower?

Thank you!
Yes I do. I add a small amount of MKP during flower and some magnesium sulfate for the sulphur. I start tapering everything down towards the end of flower. I don't use a set schedule but go by the look of the plants so I don't follow any week by week schedule. I did notice that the Jacks feeding schedule has people feeding 2.4 ec during veg and flower. I never run that high. I think many issues people have is from running the EC too high.
