Whoa now ! Don't go dismissing AN outright....

Not sure why all the haters (aside from the marketing hype) but it works.

I got into trouble by pushing the max nutrients amounts but backed off in time. Half the recommended amounts and staying close to a 1/1/1 ratio seems to be the ticket for me.

The M/G/B (3x1L) and three supplements (3x250ml) cost me ~$140. So not THAT expensive.

From three plants (two grows) I got +30 oz and still have enough nutrient left to grow ~ two more plants.

Using ProMix HP, two gallon plastic pot for one plant (13.2 oz), three gallon fabric bags for the other two (17 oz), 600w MH/HPS, roughly a 3' x 3' enclosure and well water with a ppm of 500.

Having said that, mixing up solutions every day can become a PITA :mrgreen:

Just out of curiosity I want to try MegaCrop one part on my next grow. That cost me about the same but will last for years !

Cheers.

Thanks for your helpful info, I actually use AN ‘cause I hear a lot of people saying it's easy to use (where I live, information sources and community are very limited)

But over the past few days reading many comments in this forum and listening to everyone's advice (including you), I will definitely have to change and try another nutrient lines, and I will definitely try the Jack’s as you said.

I heard about Jack’s a lot these days, everyone commented that their products are cheap and effective, however, so far I haven’t known anything about this nutrient line.

Do you mind sharing with me a little more experience and information on how to use Jack 321? Could I inbox u, I am very grateful to u.

Jacks is very simple to use. 3 dry ingredients. Mix the base nute first. Then the Epsom salt. Then the cal nit. A lot of people make concentrates in gallon jugs. I am thinking about going this approach in my next adventure when I get back from vacation.

The feed chart online is for 100gallon res. I use a 10 gallon res in flood drain hydro.

So I just use some math..then I use about 50% what they recommend and it gets me to a little over 1ec. They recommend over 2ec but I feel that is crazy.

The mega 1 part is hi in N for flower. So for some strains you will have N tox. Some strains it is fine.

Crap king seeds...
Is that when you picked it? Because then it truly would be an early miss ... If you'll forgive the pun

I'm such a jerk sometimes :twisted::fire::eyesmoke:

On second thought, N toxicity should present as dark green leaves ? If so, Mega Crop feeding schedule recommends cutting back on the amount of nutrients. Should that not take care of the issue ?

Planning to grow True North seeds > Durban Poision, Sour Diesel, Cafe Racer and a Blue Dream !

Cheers.

I was growing multiple strains all running from the same feed source. So for me it was not good for my situation.

But yes...you can dial in ratios for your own situation and it should work fine.

Coco perlite and some other non rip off nutrient line such as jacks will do wonders for your plants and your pockets.

Oh, I saw so many people mention Jack's products out there. I'll definitely have to try 'em. Can I find all what I need from Jack? Or do I need to add any other supplements to make my girls have amazing and beautiful buds and have more resins?
Thank u so much, bro.

All you need is jacks part a, part b, Epsom salt, and the rest is up to you.
