Ok I’ll start by saying I’m on my first coco grow and everything has been going good.
I use megacrop with some extra calmag and fulvic acid every so often.
I just flipped my plants to flower and they immediately started to look like they may need a little bit more N for the stretch. So I have this container of jacks classic bloom booster 10-30-20. I figure it should give the slightly more N the plants seem to need without having to add all the unnecessary calmag.
My issue is that it says to use only 1/4 tsp/ gal which is 1 gram/gal. This just seems weak to me and even looks very dilute and I certainly don’t want to starve my plants at this critical time. Also I don’t have an EC/PPM/TDS meter, getting the wife to let me buy a ph pen as battle enough lol.
So has anyone ever used this jacks classic bloom booster 10-30-20 in coco(I can only find a few references on this site and they are all soil) and should I be ok if I doubled the dose (jacks recommended 1/2tsp for feedings every 10 days but only 1/4 for every feeding) so instead of 1gram or 1/4 tsp, bumping it to 2grams a gal? Or is there another amount that has proven effective.
I honestly onlynplan to use it til thebplant stops stretching and starts stacking3-4 weeks tops.
Almost forgot to mention that while using the jacks I obviously plan on stopping the megacrop and will only use calmag if it looks like it needs it. I honesty only use it once a week just to make sure there is plenty for the coco to hold onto. Fulvic will also be used every third day.
