The first video I linked goes over the micro nutrients in Jacks and also compares it to other brands. There are a few sections in the video where he has spreadsheets open.

Quick 2c on the epsom.
After looking at the ppm breakdown, I stopped adding the epsom.
With epsom the Mg to Ca ratio is higher than needed.
Prefer closer to 2:1. Ca:Mg
Some say they modified the mix several years ago to include more Mg. (Bad rumor probably or they would have changed the feed charts.)
Just my 2c.
Hope your grow is awesome!

Perpetual harvesting in the same room sounds great n all but one never gets to fully douche the whole room at once which is a key factor for me.
Jacks worked the all around best for me under leds after tryi g several expensive & less expensive nutes.
Tribus n that stuff is not necessary if in soiless media. Not that you can't use it, use it, it dies off, so forth. It will help i guess. Saw no differences to me.
ReCharge & Tribus together is a double negetive imo. They are not complimenting each other & re-charge is a compilation of a bunch of different good things, not necessarily working together though to stay alive.
I found an airated soiless media that dries almost daily (daily during peak flower) with plenty of DTW worked really well for me.
Crushed it with Jacks last run.

I will have a look at that company, not come across it.
Reason i'm asking is because there's a UK company who will mix up any nutrient profile from dry soluble and apparently for cheap, but I cant get a quote unless I know what i'm asking them to mix. Interested to see what the price would be and how it would compare to what folks over the pond pay for Jacks.
I will have a gander at the Chempak.
Cheers mate.

That is interesting. Let us know of the results! Are you going to try to get it in a 1 part solution or stick with the 3 parts like the 3-2-1 jacks formula?

Just browsed your journal. Pretty cool setup.
I do cringe a little bit at the reflective material though. I tried it and I really didn't like the reflection in my eyes or the difficulties of cleaning it.
I'll definitely be following along. Good luck!

It will just be the part A I need to get mixed , the cal nitrate and mag sulphate are easy to get hold of.
So you saying feed them lower ppm ?
They did slightly change a thing or two around the time they came out with the new bag design and that "cannabis" marketing campaign. Some micro nutrient I think, minor change.
They increase Sulfur (from 8.21% to 8.5%), and added a bit more Molybdenum.
