I see. If using jacks 321 you shouldnt need calmag. Mag is found in the epsom salt and cal is in part A or B

With Jack’s there is no need for water only days. I use Jack’s and the only time I use cal mag is when I am preparing a block of coco.

Each has differing amounts of cal and mag. Highest is tps middle is botanicare and FF is lowest. Any will work

I get it by the gallon. 36 bucks a gal vs 16 bucks a quart.

I can’t say. I’ve only used it in coco or peat. But I do not think so. If any thing, rates may need a bump up because it is applied less often in soil than in soilless mediums.

Im gonna try Jacks at some point here, in coco not soil. I just love using FF. When I was younger using FF was the dream, ya know. You couldnt open a hightimes without seeing an add for them or reading an article about using it. Fast forward to the end of prohibition, Im knocking it off my bucket list and loving it

I have used both and they are good equal products.

Like many around here I started with FF Trio in FF Ocean Forest. No complaints. It got me started and with a lot of users on this forum, at lot of good user info. Flushing soil is a PAI so I moved to coco. Still may need to give coco a minor flush but easier and more responsive than dirt.

I love the Mr. Robot series, and I think that Rami Malek was just perfect in the role of the main character.

I use TPS Organic OAC calmag that is nitrogen-free, should that be desired.
