@Badmofo529 did you get the Jacks off of ebay and did they send mixing instructions? Don't forget if using silica that goes in first. I have been using volume instead of weight just easier for the way i mix ( gallon jugs).
Yeeeea buddy ???
Yup off of eBay for now, I'll try to track the big bags down at some point, this should last a while though. Yup they sent the instructions, but it's for 80% (3-2-1), I will start with that and see how they do but I plan on going full strength in flower, and probably end up bumping up the epsom a touch depending on how they respond. No silica for now, but thanks for the heads up, I might grab a bottle of armor-si at the hydro shop when I restock on promix.
I started in late veg and i started with full strength Jacks 321 and never had a issue. Actually i have just been cutting the full strength in half for early veg and i have yet to burn any tips. I have around 10 days or so left in flower and i am just now going to tap from full strength. Never added anything other than Recharge. The full strength brings my tap to 6.3 so i have not had to use any down unless using silica.
you got any silica laying around?
I like that idea @spyralout . Kinda like killing two birds with one stone. Add first the amount of silica it would take to get the numbers to work plus get the benefit of the silica in the deal.
I haven't used pH up since silica. And I'm not getting celery snaps as much any more. I've heard of it being a good foliar spray. I wonder what would happen if I dump some in the fogger? It's super low PPM as it is, just don't want it to mess up the ceramic discs on the unit.
I do not, I might try that out since the Jack's doesn't have silica. There is a lot of conflicting info on using it all the way through flower, so I'll try to find some info on that that isn't bro-science. Either way, I would only have to use pH up the last half of flower so it would reduce my usage regardless.
Not sure on the foiliar spray. I have started using it on a regular basis for the aid in nutrient uptake mostly the ever present cal mag issues. I have needed neither since starting with the regular use of silica and Jacks line up. I have some of those ceramic discs i am going to mail you. They are the same as you currently have. I set up a humidifier last year a bit more ghetto than your set up and decided to stop using it. If i could have figured an easy way to run a filter on it i might have kept using it. I have a couple of store bought units that i can buy filters for ( Just more convenient).
