Jack's Classic Tomato Feed - 12-15-30, and other stuff

[Old Uncle Ben]

After a bunch of mishaps (pythium, whiteflies, Cottonseed meal herbicide residuals?) I've got a few babes flowering. One of those is a small (small for a hybrid sativa), now a 23" Ace Golden Tiger X Panama that's been flowering since around Oct. 1. Was topped to get 2 main colas Sept. 25. Based on my understanding of plant nutrition I added this one to my toolbox. Being that they're done with what little stretch there was am going with a lower N food. Micros and secondaries (Ca, Mg, S) package is excellent. Going light with 1/4 or 1/2 tsp. per gallon of rainwater sometimes mixed with well water, the latter being high in bicarbs of Mg and Ca, neutral pH.

Been under sunlight via a large south facing greenhouse vent. Moved under LED's Nov. 14.

Topped, got my 2 main colas.

Thank you

I use that on a lot of my vegetables outside. I think there Part A + B is far superior for cannabis. It gives you way more control

I live on the east coast and my name is Joe too.
Where do you get your pizza?

Just remember, certain ratios like high P or K are not plant stimulaters, hormones are. BUT, recently I read in a credible science based white paper where cannabis N needs are reduced somewhat in mid to late flowering, so I'm trying something different. Played with Jack's Blossom Booster, 10-30-20 years ago on stuff like orchids. Also have Dyna-Gro's Bloom, a 3-9-6. I usually go with the same NPK all the way thru for cannabis like my 8 month Osmocote 15-9-12 which I use exclusively for growing large, bearing tropical fruit trees (mangos, avocados, citrus) and tomatoes in the greenhouse.

Having said that, the advantage (or disadvantage) is probably not relevant in the real world of toking. We'll see.

You should try it for yourself one time and see how you like it. I’ve used most of jacks products. The A+B was superior in my
opinion

I go strictly by the labels and their salts. Will check them out, thanks.

Kicker is I have a shitload of plant foods to use up. Like most of a 25# bag of this Osmocote. You should try this one. Growing Big Beef and BHN 589 tomatos in the greenhouse now.

Change gears, I made my own Griffin's Spin-Out. The new maters are in those treated pots.



Did this experiment around 2014. You should try it. MicroKote is OK too albeit a rip off. https://overgrow.com/t/how-can-i-use-spin-out-for-chemical-root-pruning/258

My mango growing friends swear by this PGR. Lots of stuff to play with at this site. https://www.powergrown.com/products/all-products/brassinolide/brassinolide-0-1/

Cannabis kit. I've been using triacontanol for decades by making up a slop of alfalfa nuggets as a soil drench for my soil mixes. https://www.powergrown.com/products...m-triacontanol-and-brassinolide-cannabis-kit/
