RIU members who swear by Jacks Classic

Do u ph your nutes or allow jacks to buffer it naturally. I wonder why I got caw in week 4 of flower. I just upped the nutes to .25ts AP +.5ts BB. I noticed they started to claw after that. I feed plain water afterwards. Haven't fed since. I'm starting week 5 of flower. Should I give 1.5ts BB next feeding. I start flushing 2 ws before harevest. There's no flush in your feeding schedule. How do ur nugs tastes. How do u handle the chemicals left over in your product.
boy,do you have a lot to learn.

I use 3 gallon pots, promix hp and water every 3 or 4 days or when the soil is almost dry (I use my moisture meter ) and I keep it simple..I use beastie blooms half way thru for weight other than that, that's it

Been using Jacks Professional 20-20-20 All Purpose for years.. all the way through the cycles.
Very good yields while using low doses--around 1/2 tsp gal. Recently started adding a little Citrus Feed..

Hey @RM3 thanks for the tip--is there anywhere in Denver to pick up some Jacks Aquagold? Id really like to try running that during flower. BTW your strains look great.

Jacks Citrus FeED for 2 years now. Waiting on JR Peters to start selling the Aquegold in smaller portions this summer. I use from 1/8 tsp/G up to 1/2 tsp/G for heavy feeders.

The citrus feed is 20 10 20 I think. Why do u like it better than jacks bloom.

things you need to know

lower dose feedings more often is better than forcing them high ppms
more N and less P in flower keeps plants healthy and happy
less p is better for organic soils
flushing is for turds/toilets
jacks citrus has low P and high in sulphur
What would be better for me? I grow in 100% perlite. Hempy. I currently use the dynamic duo at .5ts each up to week 4 of flower, then I go straight bloom at 1 to 1.5 ts per gal.

how do your plants look when finished? green and healthy or burnt to shit? if they look healthy, dont change anything. if they look yelllow and fried, cut back the bloom and use more 202020

It won't burn as easily. The only time I get nute burn is from adding too much calmag, or I pound them with Jacks during the stretch. Plus, it's only one nute to buy. My classic and bloom are 90% full, and I have not touched them since switching to the Citrus FeED. Right now I'm only using 1/4-3/8 tsp/G water throughout the entire cycle so the feedings are light, and I got more money in my pocket.

Just starting wk 6 of flower. I fed jacks BB .5ts/gal and beastie bloomz .25ts/gal. Now I'm just waiting to see how my girls react.
