I'm currently running Advanced Nutrients 3 part line. I've been growing less than a year in DWC, currently with a SpiderFarmer sf2000.
Seeing good things about Mega Crop and Jacks. Is one better than the other for DWC?

looks and sounds good, theres alot in that bag of megacrop. jacks is 20-20-20 if i remember corectly which can hinder flowering by having so much nitrogen in it. too much nitrogen will effect flower growth.
mega crop looks very interesting, iy even contains a resin boosting claim

I just switched to mega from AN. I'm loving the results so far. I also add a bit of bud explosion.

Bag seed tangerine haze. It's apparently a clone only strain. I been growing it for about 2 years perpetually. She is more indica than sativa. Super big fan leaves.

Jacks has a bunch of different formulations. The one most use is the 5-12-26 along with calcium nitrate. There's a ton of people using it without any issues.

thanks for the info, I was also wondering what Jacks formula to shop for as well.

Add mag sulfate. But buy any brand because mag sulfate is mag sulfate. That’s Jack’s 3-2-1.

The thing is, Jacks 5-12-26 already has 6% magnesium. Many have found they don't need the mag sulfate. So I guess they're running Jack 3-2. :mrgreen:

But some additional mag sulfate midway through flower can be beneficial. But I don't think you need it throughout the entire grow.

Personally I’ve only noticed real magnesium demand not met by most nutes is around week 4 of flower. I just give it in the feeding around then. Otherwise I don’t use cal mag unless I see an emerging deficiency.
