So, the grow shop doesn’t have jacks, and I’m not ready to drop 700 on the emerald harvest line (gallons). They carry Advance Nutrients…any thoughts? Was going to look into the sensi grow/sensi bloom a and b. Or even the connoisseur line, not sure if there is a huge difference.
Can always get Jacks online if you can wait a bit.

Well, seeds have already popped, and i have run out of fox farms for the most part. I have many more seeds, including some autos…which will be a first.
Hmm… Yeah I am not too sure then… IDK anything about the ProMix, but if it has nutes in it you should have enough time to get something online. But you might have to just get something local again. You could go with FF Tri for now if you wanted to save some money.
Its promix hp, which is a peat based medium also called soilless i guess. No nutrients, but does have mycorrhizae. So from what i have read, they will need some nutes at about 2 weeks.
I picked up 25# bags of Jack’s A & B and some bloom booster from Esbenshades Garden Centers online for $10 bucks less than Amazon including shipping. Got it within 4 or 5 days.
I use advanced nutrients Iguana Grow and Bloom and 8 - 10 other of its supplements. It is the organics line so it is not part of Ph Perfect. But phing is simple enough. I am on my third complete grow using it. Expensive but highly recommended.
This is most of them
I think i might start with the 1L bottles to begin with. All my plants are going to end up in 7 gal fabric pots. I feed them roughly 3 gallons each time. Do you have a rough estimate of how many gallons you can get out of it? Or even how many plants from start to finish? I know its a broad question with variables. I was considering the sensi grow a and b, sensi bloom a and b for base nutes, maybe big bud, bud candy, maybe even overdrive too? Idk. They have so many.
I think the best thing is to run it through AN calculator. Nutrient Calculator | Feeding Schedule | Advanced Nutrients
This is my excel calculator for what I use. It has what I have used during flower for what I have in the tent now. All measures are in ml & liters
these are the veg & flower recipes I use
The quantities feed into the the first schedule which calculates totals based on amount of water
The base nutrient Iguana Juice is basically 4ml / liter
Everything else is 2ml / liter

So I’m slightly confused what the calculator is telling me. I’m not in hydro, so I assume i put in the 1 gallon for my mixing “resevoir” to find out amount per gallon? Or is that the total water to be fed to the plant? For example, if i feed with runoff, it takes about 3 gallons. Starts dripping around 2.5 gallons, should i put 3 gallons as the reservoir size to get the total per feed? And if im in promix hp, should i be feeding every water (every 4 to 5 days) or should i alternate to avoid salt build up in the “soilless” medium?
The reservoir amount is the amount of nutrient mix for that feed. In you example 3 gallons. I should point out a couple things about my first schedule. In the column to the right of Voodoo Juice are two more columns. PH and PPM for that mix A common set of readings is Ph 6.7 and PPM of 1400. This comes to your question about frequency. I am in soil and feed every time. So, ppm of 1400 is pushing it. Once I get this original mix I dilute it with plain water to arrive at the desired PPM. In mid - late flower this is 850 - 1000 ppm. I then Ph the diluted solution to the desired Ph 6.3 - 6.5. This time of year I use our well water which has a Ph of 7.5+_
I keep record of ppm and ph adjustments on this schedule
I would think you could handle promix hp the same way. I know, if I was using coco (which I will be soon), I would do it the same way.
AN also has another kind of feed schedules. They are titled Master or Growers schedules. These are feed schedules recommended by growers. I will dig around a bit and see If I can find one for sensi or connoisseur line

Not much to update on the seedlings:
Gave them both 50ml of Sensi Grow A and B, mixed at 4ml/gallon.
Are these growing slow? I never know what a normal speed for seeds is…always seems to take forever for them to take off.

Gave them a splash of sensi grow a and b at 4ml/gal each. Pots were dry. See the tip of a root at the bottom of the pot
Be cautious at seedling feedings… ecspeicslly comming off your first real successful groe …you get into the habit of pushing nutes asap to max… which you can still do…just raise levels steadily and gradually… you’ll be fine looks great glad to of been here through the journey broski

Fed and transplanted the two seedlings Amnesia Lemon#1
#2:
I fed them with 2ml/l Sensi Grow A, 2ml Sensi Grow B, 1ml Voodoo Juice. Per recommended amounts on bottle. I did Voodoo Juice at half strength because they haven’t had that yet.

Slight change of plans, Amnesia Lemon 1 is going to be Quadlined, and Amnesia Lemon 2 is going to get mainlined.
Topped and fed #1 keeping nodes 2 and 3 for the quadline.
Up potted #2 and topped to 3rd node, removed all lower growth shoots, but kept the leaves.
