@Xray1 you’re going to get a lot of different opinions. In general, I am more comfortable recommending jacks over masterblend, because it is more widely used and proven.
I would not recommend megacrop for a reservoir system. If you mix and feed each time, it is fine and potentially good for all the reason @Northern_Loki. But for the same reasons, it is not good if it is mixed and left to feed over the course of a week or two. So that one depends on your usage IMO.
I’m intrigued by the Jacks + gypsum results @avr1 and @corgitron were talking about. To me that sounds like a very promising amendment to the jacks formula for use with coco. However, I have no experience in feeding from a reservoir with that, so solubility of the gypsum has to be considered for that application.
hi Corgitron…
could you pls be more specific regarding ur feeding regimen using maxibloom for veg and bloom…
you’ve mentioned maxibloom, gypsum, flora micro and in another post you mentioned you also use magnesium nitrate, epsom and calcium nitrate…
i hope you could explain in detail how much of what you use in how many gallons of water…
im having maxibloom and can source the rest. currently using only maxibloom is giving me problems in coco…
Cheers
My feeding is based more on what the plants tell me. If I feel they look a little yellow I’ll add some epsom salts, or mag nitrate. It’s more based on feel.
My standard daily feed is a little hot or warm water. 3 teaspoons of maxibloom and 2 teaspoons of gypsum. Per 5 gallon of reverse osmosis. On Saturdays I flush plants with a 500tds of diamond k.
I wish I could be better at explaining it but I seriously wing it. I see more sulphur toxicity in late flower and mg deficiencies when they are babies… holy cow could you do that with the flora micro added in just want to see the difference. 3.5ml per 5 gal
