I have been using Jack's Professional Hydroponic + Calcium Nitrate for a while now and absolutely love the results! Couldn't be happier after trying many different much more expensive base nutes.
Throughout my experience with Jack's I've kept in contact with Jr Peters Lab picking the brains of the technicians and have been told just the other day about how sweet this new "Hydro Herb" product really is.
Basically it is a one stop shop for your base nutes (at least throughout your vegetative stage, after that you will need to adjust your NPK ratio by adding "blossom booster" or equivalent).
For those who are new to Jack's, if you are like me and have been using it before this new hydro herb has been released for sale then you have 2 different bases, Hydroponic + Calcium nitrate.
These must be mixed individually and in a specific order to ensure precipitation does not occur. Really isn't difficult, pretty simple actually but it does become more time consuming when "topping off" your resevoir, or mixing smaller, more specific PPM mixes.
Also you must be sure that you do not mix these together when the solutions in the tank are concentrated. For example: Say you have a 50 gallon resevoir and you first dissolve your "hydroponic" mix but only dissolve it in 10-15 gallons of fresh water, well you should NOT dissolve your "calcium nitrate" in that concentrated mix without first diluting it down by adding the appropriate amount of h2o for your 50 gallon tank.
I am very interested in trying this one bag mix. The JR peters technician seemed to be in favor of using this new product and the convenience side of it has me sold to try.
Wondering if any others out there who are using the most amazing ferts out there (jacks of course) are using this new hydro herb?
I will be posting more on it after ive tested it within next few weeks!
