I'm got some maxigro today. Going to try it with calimagic. I'm guessing I'll have the same problem, but fingers crossed. If I do, I guess I go back to jacks. This one's really got me scratching my head

Right. I've read that. This is why I'm confused. I'll post some pictures

I've been experimenting with temp. At this point I'm around 63 degrees. I do use airstones. I don't like to run them constantly so have them on timer to run 15min every hr. I really don't think this is the issue. The nutrients turn a shade of yellow/brown after adding calmag, then 1-2 days...

Watering practices? Ok. I have waited, but maybe not a full 15 minutes. I'll give that a try

I do, but not constantly. I guess get this figured out. It's driving me insane

I'm having this strange issue that is clearly related to the use of calimagic. I've been experimenting with adding calmag during veg to create a better multi strain formula. What happens is after a couple days the nutrients start turning brown, and the bubbles around the edge of the res get...

Sounds like your not adding calimagic to your jacks formula? I do fine with that too. I like adding calimagic in veg, but I think I gotta figure something else out

I am glad I found this post. I have been going thru the exact same thing. I was convinced it was bacterial growth as well, and spend so much time sterilizing my ro holding tank and everything else. I am using ro water, and the new formula of calimagic with jacks. I know jacks isn't designed...

Nice. is that exclusive to custom hydro nutrients.com? I am trying your veg mix, but have a few questions. You use i ml per gallon of calimagic correct? Also, you are watering down that mixture to get 1.34 ec right? I end up a bit higher.

Yeah, I'm using canna bagged Coco. Used to use botanicare bricks. I am still hand watering, but plan to automate soon. Growing under sunsystem dual 315w in veg (but only using one bulb at the moment) ro water, no c02 supplementing in veg. The last few months I've had a break from running the...

Great pics and info. I grow in canna coco, and have been adjusting jacks mixes for years. I use pure ro, and pure coco. I just can't get my veg formula quite right. I have found almost all my strains need more calcium than standard jacks 321 provides, and I often struggle with mild mg def in...

Hello. I often see your posts and appreciate any info you share. I also use straight coco and ro water. I have been struggling with a veg recipe that works across the board. I'm just a little confused about what your doing in veg. Looks like you are using jacks at standard 321 ratios, but...

What is y'alls experience with needing extra calcium when using Jack's in Coco? Especially in veg? I feel like I overthink this, and often feed more CA than necessary, but I have had lots of problems in veg while trying to dial in Jack's 321. Does anyone actually thrive using the 321 ratio in...

Ive learned humidity a huge factor relating to ppm/ec. If My humidity was at 45 I would feed lighter. If I fed at 1ec with 70 perfect rh, my plants would starve and die
