I have had both colors of Jack's. Green and blue.
I use Yara brand cal/nit and it has no dye.

I think I had a orange as well for the jack's one time. Don't remember for sure because I have use a bunch of it.
thanks IC! Just wasnt sure because id heard so much about it being blue.
Seems I read somewhere that it has to be dyed for poison reasons. I think it was if it was sold retail or some crap. Been a while and I am almost half as old as Mr.D so give me some slack.
haha thanks for all the info guys! Mr. D is an ole fart eh

you can just mix the jacks like that and keep it as a stock solution for weeks??
thats what im told! I believe IC does it as well
Yes I do mix mine. My concentrates are the following.
880 grams 5-12-26 per gallon
644 grams Calcium Nitrate per gallon
792 grams MKP per gallon
You can find it on post number 19 here:

Man!!! your gonna have some big ass buds!! I really like the looks of room B, prolly could have done with a couple less plants huh? I do the same thing, always plant too many and then can't bring myself to kill them if nobody wants em' . I can't wait to see what the yield is for room b....looks awesome!!
holy shit! those things have gotten HUGE! nicely done man!
If you use Jacks in Coco:
Perlite is a crutch. Dont use it, except for the bottom inch or so of your pots for better drainage
Use bagged, pre washed coco. Dont wash further
300PPM Jacks, 300PPM Calcnit for veg ----> week 2 of flower
360PPM Jacks, 240PPM Calcnit for flower week 2 ---> flush
180PPM Jacks, 120PPM Calcnit for week 1 of flush
90 PPM Jacks, 60PPM Calcnit for week 2 of flush
Straight FIYA

Amazing thread! Just finished reading it front to back! Great info from some veterans, as well as great talk about nutrients! The N-Tox/Claw is something I've been having trouble with on certain strains fairly consistently. Running 6/9 HEAD, Maxibloom, or with Jacks Hydro + CalcNit.
One thing I noticed that you seemed to miss the point of, Dabs, was in the following quote:
Look at the GA of CALiMAGiC. It contains no CalcNit. The only nitrate available is from MagNitrate. The Calcium is found as Calcium Carbonate. I picked up a bottle to use as a replacement for CalcNit in order to try and reduce N-Tox, but still haven't got around to using it. Also, after reading the thread, I'm thinking that just lowering my EC may reduce the N-Tox altogether and that a profile change may, or may not be necessary.
Thanks again for the great thread, Dabs, and everyone else involved.

This topic of leaving the micro in until later or even till the flush is interesting. Although I'm very satisfied with my current feed schedule, I must say that it does make sense.
GH designed the system to work hand and hand thru to the end of flowering, but I assume h3ad and rez's ideals are to use the least amount of nutrients possible while still achieving quality. 6/9 is definitely a cost effective way to grow some dank.
You know their results are also based in coco, might have something to do with cutting it earlier than GH suggests
At some point in time the plant requires little to no N. This point might arrive at different times for different strains.
Are you using bloom booster?
I use the KB powder and it does contain ammoniacal nitrate which accounts for 2% N. Maybe the 3 doses I blast them with is enough to get her thru with what they need?
If added calcium your wanting I would not rely on tap water content as a source.
I would just pick up some GH CALiMAGic. It's clean and uses minerals for optimal plant uptake. I only use 1/4-1/2 tsp per gal increments. The ppms at that ratio, only add 130-170 ppms.
Most people claim that 6/9 doesn't need cal mag, but I believe otherwise. My garden has seen nothing but benefits from adding it. Even with me using dechlorinated/tap.

The CALiMAGiC has a low PH. It uses Phosphoric acid to get the Calcium Carbonate to go into suspention. Keep that in mind if you use it.
