Yes im using it now in my flower room. With my water i have to add some cal mag but it works just as good. I switched from using mega and plants love it.
My ph goes up using mega and its stable with masterblend. Im thinking about dropping the mega in veg. Ph was already at 5.9 after 2 days of a res swap. It is 5.7 then slowly creeps up. I want it at 5.7. I have an auto dossier so when it hits 6.0 it delivers a bit of acid to lower it back to 5.9. I usually go through a gal of that per month using mega. No problem with jacks or masterblend. Even ultrasol is much better. To be fair when i was using GH it did the same thing.
So maybe just use the mega in my greenhouse and stick with the more refined products in my hydro.

Think that one is the 20-10-20 mix. It works great in veg and through stretch as well. If you want to have brown leaves at harvest id switch to bloom. Ive used 20-20-20 all the way through and it works well. But dont use it in hydro only in soil. Pay attention to tbe nitrogen used. Urea base use in soil

Yea,nah If I got back to Jack's it'll be the 3-2-1 mix or a similar ratio. I'm past the tinkering with new nutes stage until another dry nute comes out like MC or Jack's in that price range. One of these days I'm going to give indoor soil a try.

Funny this was just posted I just read a ton on their website, may try out some of the UV, and bloom seeing as how the regular stuff works so well, it can't hurt and it's so cheap for the amounts you can mix 
and no tinkering involved they got feed charts on the site as well, pretty close to what I'm running real world, so no money grab there unlike some other companies cough,cough,AN lol and if you really want to dial it in you can send em a water sample for testing to know which feed will work best for your situation, probably sound like a fanboy but I love their non bullshit attitude, and the pricing is dam competitive for what you get

They have some kits also that take it from seedling to veg to clone to bud. Comes with 4 or so different mixes they think go together. All comes in a plastic bucket.Funny this was just posted I just read a ton on their website, may try out some of the UV, and bloom seeing as how the regular stuff works so well, it can't hurt and it's so cheap for the amounts you can mix

I just scored a 25 lb bag of the jacks hydro for 25 bucks on sale today. I’m stoked to get going on this. Gonna run 3-2-1 with it and see how things go. I have enough now for my size grows to last quite some time. No more buying water! Y’all have a good night

I found it at Wilco that just opened a new store here in Portland. I found another place here that sells cal nitrate 50 lbs for 21 bucks. It’s wayyyyy Moore than I’ll ever need but at that price...
What kinda farm and garden places y’all have near by. I’ve got Wilco, coastal, I may know where there’s a tractor supply. They can be gems! My bad, @socaljoe Shoulda mentioned you in the beginning of this rant of mine.

That's a great find. Congrats. I've got a tractor supply co near me, that's about it that I'm aware of...I never even thought to look for hydro fertilizers there.I found it at Wilco that just opened a new store here in Portland.

I've still got a good 5-6 pounds each of Masterblend Tomato and Cal-nit and 2-3 lbs of epsom, so I'm set for a while at my usage rates. I love me some powdered hydro nutes.

I hope they work well for me or someone is gonna get a hell of a deal
Naw, I think it’ll be great and save on my back pocket some too.

Yeah, as long as you don't try and get too creative with your amounts and ratios, you should be golden.
For a new Jack's user, I'd recommend watching this video:
Lots of great info there.

I been watching green gene for a long time. I just worked the courage to do some hydro grows and also getting low on all the bottled crap I’ve been using. Just gonna keep it simple with 3-2-1 and I feel pretty positive all should be ok. Any other input about jacks and experiences please let me know.

No additives needed, and I'd mix some stock solution that way your only working with 2 parts instead of 3 I do 80 gals worth of hydro mix and Epsom in one container and the Cal nit in another container, with 1400 ml of distilled water it's real close to 18ml per gallon of each, and I tweak as needed, if they show Cal defiency I'll up that to 2.1 or 2.2 grams per gallon when I do the stock solution, same for mag with the epsom, and so on lol been doing it like this since I started with the stuff and it's worked flawlessly

Nice, I’ll check Vader too than. GG is a knowledgeable dude and his garden is legit. Question, he runs coco dtw. I want to try the jacks in a flood and drain. I know it says hydroponics on the bag. It can be used in several mediums and hydro as well right? Sorry for the dumb question, just clarifying
