1 part, 2 part, 3 part nutrients

[TerpyTyrone]

How does the lucas formula work as far as potency and terpene production?
How can a 2 part or even one part npk ratio formula, mixed at different solution percentages give you the right kind of specific nturients at a plants life stage.
I dont want some generic mediocre shit.
Is this a stupid question?
Maxibloom by gh for example. 1 part. Veg and bloom. HOW!?!?

The 2 part makes more sense to me. A micro and the other nutes. Where I often wonder is how come you have to mix them separate in bottles (like lucas formula) but maxi bloom is 1 powder that doesnt lock itself out.

I found lucas way too hot for my grow methods. MC is working ok and some strains need the bud explosion to boost them in flower. I add calmag too when i remember (silica/calmag in veg then MC)

Kind of a collaboration of methods

Oh its a heinz 57 grow room....the mutt of bloom rooms. I think autopots might have been the problem and not the lucas formula.

 

[TerpyTyrone]

I'm just worried they are too rounded. Not specific enough. That's the advantages of the three part

So for what its worth. 30$ I'm gonna try this ph perfect nute system. Its 16 ml per gallon! So I'm gonna cut It! Haha.
Ive gotta get this ph under control before grow bros.
I am really interested in the jacks. Maybe someone who has tried it could chime in.
Whats ur ph like? Hiw often do u adjust?

Jacks is the shiznit, ill set a feesh res at 750ppm and 6.3 ph will drift down slowly to 5.8 over the course of about a week, ill raise it back to 6.2 and swap out at about day 14

 

[Gweedo]

And then there is the price difference lol

 

[TerpyTyrone]

2.2 lbs is gonna last FOREVERRRR

I might have to give jacks a go if i can find a store that keeps it on the shelf

What is it called jacks 3 2 1 ? that kit or is it jacks general, phosphate and booster? I can get a ton of that with free shipping (25 pound bags)

 

[Gweedo]

Thats where i got mine

Dude you might havr just sold me! Thats half of Amazon price! And a kit too! Thanks brother!

 

[Gweedo]

No problem youll love it, so simple to mix stock solutions in advance

 

[Gweedo]

And its way cheaper if you get bigger packages of the jacks hydro and the cal nit, epsom can be had anywhere pretty much

Here in the great white north I can only get 25 pound bags of general (20 20 20) for 80 or blossom (10-30-20)
or high phosphate (15 30 15) for 93. I will think about it I have a lot of MC and it works.
