I mix all my stock solutions at 1lb per gallon. Most instructions say to mix it more concentrated, but 1lb per gallon makes sure it all dissolves. I usually grow flood tables, but I’m always trying new techniques including aero, so I need a totally dissolved stock solution.thats still more then double, haifa or yara stuff. but i get it jacks is pretty good! i typed the jacks stuff into my npk calculator for my buddy recently and i think the vlaues are almost optimal. I worked out that. 1.08grams jacks 5-12-26 and 0.95gram of yara calcinit per liter of water would make close to my optimal recipe.
as for bottled nutrients just mix your own, its easy just involves som basic highschool math!
For example with this 2 part jacks recipie
For Part A: add 981ml of water and 189gram of calcinit together.
For Part B: add 978ml of water with 215grams of jacks 5-12-26 together.
thats your part a and part b. now these stock solutions you apply at 5ml per liter of water.
if you want the stock solution to last longer add sodium benzoate
for this recipie you need nothing else dont think about adding calmag. or pk boosters, they fuck up the ratio and result in less yield in my expreience. from clone to end of flower same feed.
I only use jacks, calcium nitrate, and epsom salts in my grows. You’re right, all the booster crap usually just messes up the npk and micro ratios.
