Since my former go-to, MaxiBloom, has been mostly unavailable and Megacrop is still figuring out their formula, I've been looking for another water soluble powder.
I've been interested in Jack's for a while but couldn't find a source in Canada. I admit I wasn't beating the bushes, but a basic search was unsuccessful. Anyway, through RUI, I learned of a BC store that had it and I made an order for 5kg each of 5-12-26 and Cal-Nit a few days ago. It was under $100 CAD delivered and will provide me with well over a year worth of nutes, likely closer to 2 years.
While I was waiting, I contacted JR Peters in the States and their guy gave me the name of their wholesaler, whose website gave me the name of an authorized dealer. Turns out it's a gardening store not far from me that I visit regularly. Sent them an email and learned I can make an order for the next shipment or get 15 Kg of Jack's 7-11-27 for $80 and 25 Kg Cal NIt for $42 right now.
I was annoyed for about 5 seconds that I didn't wait and save a few bucks, but after looking at it realistically, it isn't a big deal. I can probably do without 100 pounds/5years+ worth of nutes taking up space as well.
Looking forward to dialing in the 321 system once the current MaxiBloom/Megacrop mix I've been using runs out.
Between low cost-high, performance nutrients and off the shelf, screw-in LEDs, top shelf cannabis can be grown these days for next to nothing.
Fuck all the bullshit outside, I'll be in my tent tending to the girls. Let me know when it's safe to come out.
