I've got a quick question for people using the jacks hydro and calcnit. I'm running at 600 ppm in straight coco. I use ro'd water and once mixed at a 1:.667 ratio I come out with a ph of 5.3. Do people add ph up or just leave it as is?

Fwiw mine comes out to 6.0 and I ph down to 5.8 at the same ratio but with tap water coming out at 30ppm. Also running more around 700ppm total.

Does it matter what I'm using to ph with? I've noticed that my general hydroponics ph up adds about 30-40 ppm per gallon. The ph up isn't going to lock anything out by adding nutrients is it?

My rodi is around 5.9 or 6.0. I mix jacks 5 12 26 + calcnit to 600ppm and get 5.4 to 5.6. Ive been adding 2mil/gal of SM90 which brings me back to 5.9 to 6.0. May stop the SM90 tho to check and see how it works for me again. Not sure

Good stuff here. Thanks everyone.
I just switched to dyna foliar pro. But only available in gallons come to find out. And not the cheapest. Still cheaper than the canna I've been using. Gonna give the jacks a whirl. |

Best Source for Small Batch salts IMHO

https://customhydronutrients.com/ Great Service and Shipping is fast...... However, HOWEVER..they do not carry Jacks per se... Long Story short, JR Peters sold versions of their formula as OEM for PETERS professional Line. Everris ICL currently distribute it through AG companies in 25lb bags. I have used the Peter's Professional 5-11-26 with the same 3-2-1 mixology with damn good results. The version CHN carries may be the old SKU with 4% Sulphur. The new version is with 8% Sulphur. Closer to the actual Jack's Version. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole....enjoy the trip. Guido420 @yetigrow on Instagram |

I don't know if this is *new* per se, but I haven't noticed it before. On the JRPeters website
16-4-17 Hydro FeED Description & Key Benefits An innovative formula that provides all the macro, secondary and micronutrients in a one-part system. Designed specially for hydroponically grown herbs (basil, cilantro, chives, parsley etc.), as well as, lettuce and most vegetables. Includes our proprietary blend of iron chelates that keeps iron available even as the pH varies up to a high of 8.0. Also contains a significant level of soluble calcium and magnesium, for an all-around plant nutrition. For the same formula available in our professional size, check out Oasis Hydroponic For use on All plants being grown hydroponically.

I just started reading this thread but holy cow, those Peter's Professional nutrients are very cheap compared to the Canna stuff I was using.
