I have some ideas about mixing the high P Jack’s formulas, and why they don’t use calcium in them. I think the issue is that high levels of orthophosphates binds to calcium (to create calcium phosphate), which becomes an insoluble precipitate. It might be better to rotate formulas or use the high P formulas in short intervals than to mix them in reservoirs or single feeds.

Maybe it’s only when it is being made in the factory in highly concentrated form they can’t be mixed togeather to make the single finished product but when diluted separitely in a single Rez it is fine , Idk just shootin the breeze : )
Like why canna coco has to be in two bottles and not just one , yet thro out the entire grow you use equal amount of both , just raiseing ec/ppm , so would be easier as one bottle but they can’t and have to Separite it into two bottles

From canna site

CANNA COCO nutrient consists of two parts, an A part and a B part. We separate these parts for a reason. The amounts of Calcium and Phosphate that have to be present for the nutrient to do its job properly are quite high. When you put such highly concentrated elements in one bottle they will conflict with each other sometimes resulting in a slimy residue. When you separate these two elements from each other, then mix both of them with the water in your nutrient reservoir later on,there is no problem. That’s why you should first add the A component and then the B component!

If it weren’t a problem, I think their 10-30-20 schedule would have been adjusted to include at least some Ca, with lower N and adding calcium nitrate. Not 100% sure, but I think the white stuff that you see precipitating like on hydroton or the drainage areas of coco is calcium phosphate leaching out your nutrients. It might not be a huge deal for DTW, as long as it’s not drying and crusting up your roots and feed tubes. For hydro/recirculating systems, I think it might cause real problems.

Ok i’v been busy
I made the sauce and meatballs today so your all invited to dinner

So before dinner a quick smoke report
I grabbed a lower bud because of this photo of the trichomes

This is Barney’s farms Mamosa evo I was picked months ago in a contest from @George_The_Vault and I really like what I see it may not have the yield but it has the quality

Now it’s only 51 days from flip
And it smokes nice and smooth as well

I’ll give her at least 10 days longer maybe :thinking:
But I definitely will keep a closer eye :eye: on it till harvest

@Grizz718

That one was a round stem but it also turned out to be a mail so I culled it would’ve been pretty interesting if it was a female would’ve had a hell of a lot of tops

Not good with taste description but I like it lol :joy:
Took a few hits, walked the dog ,came back , drank a cup of coffee and realized i didn’t finish the bowl also figured out how hi I was took the last 2 hits! I realized it took me an hour to finish this bowl and smiled

I do like this weed but it’s not much on yield small nugs like acorns
If I grow it again maybe not

Not that it’s not good it’s not the yield I need to supply my meds till next grow

Thanks for stopping by
