I've never understood why folks use dozens of additives in their grow.
I like simple.
I've used Megacrop in both my RDWC and soil grows with good results.
Good product but I did have an issue with it absorbing moisture from the air.
I now run Jacks 3-2-1.
5-12-26 base dry nute mix 3.6g/gal
15-0-0 Calcium Nitrate 2.4 g/gal
MgSO4(Epsom salt) 1.2 g/gal
The only specialized equipment you would need is a digital scale that can weigh down to 10mg resolution($25).
I've run this for a couple of years now, it's stone-ax simple and grows GREAT weed.

Depends if you are willing to pay delivery.

Can't be much more for delivery to the cost of the product because its only cheap here in the UK at around £12 a ltr.

The extra delivery may be worth it considering you might be buying several bottles to do the same job.

It fucking good stuff and I've tried most through the decades.

I’m going to start a hempy bucket grow with all perlite medium, do you think jack321 will do me better than the megacrop?

From what I understand, MC has had a change in their recipe since I used it years ago.
Can't offer any info on the new mix, but I do know that 3-2-1 works in anything.

No... I was actually planning to have my brother purchase them and ship them over to me... I will go to a local flower shop on Saturday and see what kind of brands they have but I doubt they have any good stuff for cheap

I suppose it'll depend on how much solution you're using.
I picked up the 25# bag of the 5-12-26 and I've barely made a dent in it.
I'm on my second kg. of cal nitrate, the amount of base I've used so far is about 1.5kg.
So, unless you're a commercial scale grower I'd say the 1kg size of the 5-12-26 should be fine.
That's enough to mix 277 gallons of nutes.

If you can find a base nutrient mix similar to what the 5-12-26 mix uses, then the rest of the ingredients should be available locally.

Another option.
The new Megacrop MC2Part. They may ship to your location.
It's a clone of Jacks 5-12-26 for elemental ppm. They do add a micro pinch of extras.

I used to run MC 1part v1 and v2. Now use Jacks 321, purchased local.

NO never give up till she's gone, that's the way I look at it...
When you flushed did you test your run off for PH and nuit levels??

IMO I would wait 24 to 48 hrs. after I flushed her pick her up check her
to she if she's light feed her nothing but RO water... I may be wrong but
I think she doesn't like your soil but she's there those leaves are what they
are no changing them focus on her flowers that is her sweet spot now,
treat her like your better half nurture her back to health try and get the
other leaves back up and praying again start with 16 ounces of water when
she's light feed her once or twice a day RO water only, again top leaves and
sugar leaves and bud is all that maters now...

One other thing if you want to simplify things for you and your grow I
highly recommend...
Pro mix Soil and Petters nuits
If you want to use up what you have 1/4 strength on the
nuits and only about week 4 or six after sprouting and first
transplant.

So all the Bush dr stuff i bought i suppose is just garbage how about the beastie blooms and open sesame are they useful as a booster or will ut harm them too I haven't gotten to thise

I always dilute aggressively because I’m already growing in compost and dry amendments so it gets nutes from the soil. don’t make a Ukrainian mixed drink for your plants , unless their Ukrainian... they can only take so much in.
