gypsum should help pick the terps up as well as improve the flower yield and quality. if done right.

I seriously use it start through flush. Only other things I ever use are epsom salts, cal nitrate, mag nitrate. Just because maxi has no N

Hey Man, I remember those charts from another forum. You’ve gotta be the same guy hehe. So whats your current schedule with Jacks. I know you’ve played around with it quite a bit. Are you still running jacks and if so what’s your recipe look like. Thanks

Hope the charts are of some help.
Keeping it basic. Grow guys and gals here have been helping me up my game.

Hey guys I am interested in this Gypsum in Coco coir that I am reading about.
Is it possible to use the standard gypsum from a feed / garden store here, or do I need to source something different?
I have plants that are going to be done in a week, guessing this is too late to start applying for some benefit?
How much are you guys applying? Maybe missed this above
Cheers

I handfeed. I use 2 teaspoons to 5 gallons of Ro. Comes to about 350tds. Then I also flush once a week with RO and about 500tds. Flush is 500tds.

Here is what I use and according to my research is the best option Diamond K Gypsum - Premium 97 Solution Grade for Soil Enhancement – BuildASoil
I use 1/2 tsp a gallon and use 3/8 drill with stir add on. Mix let it set a few minutes and stir again and my solution is not cloudy

How late into flowering are you using it?
I have taken to adding a gram per gallon of water. Seems to raise the EC by a ~100 Dissolves fine but I am hand watering coco in 2 gallon bags not streaming thru a tiny nozzle.

I read the thread but can’t make a conclusion yet. If starting from scratch should I go for the jacks or MB? I currently use GH 3-part in Coco but I’d like to move away from liquid nutrients and simplify as much as I can.
Well it is a Jacks thread so most will say Jacks, including me. Jacks has been around forever
In my opinion MB is good and it includes a bunch of adjuncts that you may end up adding for other solutions. It’s a one size fits all type of product that is a bit less work.
Jack’s has a better overall solution if you plan on tweaking, changing nutrient ratios, want more control.
I’ve done both and am now primarily using Jack’s for indoor/greenhouse stuff +adjuncts (beneficials, humic acid, sugars, aminos) but continue to use MB for the outdoor stuff … mostly because it easier to mix up bulk amounts for the larger outdoor effort (soil with greater leaway) vs having better control for the smaller indoor crops running in a peat mix.
FWIW, there are MANY different options from Jack’s with the 3-2-1 program being a popular plan but also many other ways via Jack’s to get similar results but with differing ‘pivot’ nutrients depending on the objectives.
edit: I think I’m confusing MB with MC. Acronyms. Anyways…
I think maxibloom is about as simple as it gets. If I were you @Xray1 I’d go research Lucas or kiss methods.
