I’ve got some cheap 24-8-16 N-P-K all purpose water-soluble plant food from Walmart.
This is close to what the expensive lines had for veg N-P-K.
Since small plants don’t need lots of nutes my 1.5 Lb box is still over 1/2 full.
I do mix both during flowering transition like the expensive lines do.
I will find a better similar veg food when this runs out.
This seems to be chunky and gets clumps. Schultz is finer and doesn’t clump.
But this will likely last quite a while.

I start with weak all veg food 1/4 strength, slowly going to 1/2 strength if she takes it.
Flower transition I go 1/2 strength on both veg and bloom food.
Going 1/4 veg 3/4 bloom later and only full strength bloom near the end.
Cal/Mag basically throughout, full Si and Epsom Salts in Flower.
Just started with Fishshit. I am still learning how to best use this.
That being said, I just mixed up a Gallon w/30ml Fishshit.
Top-fed all 3 of my plants, giving my non autopot plant a 2 or 3 x feeding.
Then I put the remaining approximately 1/2 Gallon in the reservoir.
The Fishshit is really smelly and can spur more bacterial growth.
But apparently, the plants really like this smelly shit.
I feed the non autopot plant the same thing taken from the reservoir.

Nice… you just gave me a lesson didn’t know half of the stuff you just named. Can you add mpk to your line up? It cheap and high on pk

I’m not sure what this is, but you reminded me.
I also used Mykos soil bacteria, being top fed.

MKP Monopotassium Phosphate 0-52-34

I’m using it now for the next 2 weeks In flower with my Jack’s 321.

OK, I suppose we can use something like this if we want to.
My bloom fert is already 54 P
It seems this is used to boost P in flower.
I’m not sure my nutes need any more P. :+1: :sunglasses:

Yea pretty much give her a booster for 2 weeks. Jack’s 321 you feed full strength from begging to end but adding mkp the formula change… Jack’s compared to what u are currently using would save u alot

Are you sure? I just paid $5.40 per Lb for the Schultz Bloom.
Got a link to some cheap Jack’s?
I see many use Jack’s, but it seemed expensive to me when I checked it out.

Yea $5.40 a lb is cheap. I paid close to $40 for a 7lb kit. I use it every feeding and hardly used any so far because the measurements are so low 3.2 g per 1 gallon of water. I was using Dr earth before and that was killing my pockets

Yeah, you got to be careful and spend your $ wisely.
So the Bloom stuff gets used much more than the veg stuff.
I used this for my tent and 10 outdoor plants and just used 1.5 Lbs so far.
Nutes cost me less than $10 for a grow of 10+ plants, pretty cheap.

The more colorful and detailed the small product packaging is, the more it costs it seems.

Looks like the MKP would be better if using Jacks321 feed schedule as it doesn’t have any nitrogen.
Thank you guys for the discussion!

$40/7 = 5.71 so just 30 cents more per lb.

Fox Farm?

Looks like Jack’s is priced better in 25Lb bags.
Thats a lot to buy at 1 time

@Flying-High
Hey bud, Ebay has 4 lb kits for around $30. I bought some from Amazon and really overpaid :frowning:

@SilvaBack203

How much of the MKP do you use per gallon of water? Looking at one product on Amazon it says use a pound per gallon??? Not sure that is correct. The label says it covers 1000 sq ft

Damn that’s alot.

Jacks 321 full strength is
Part A 5-12-26 = 3.6g
Epson salt = 1.2g
Part B 15-0-0 = 2.4g

Now for 2 weeks of flower with mkp
Part A, Part B & Epson are 2g
And Mkp 1.2g

Made a little seedling box and dropped a Jack Herer Auto.
I know they say not to but I am going to mainline/manifold this one.
I hope to speed up the rotation by starting this auto early for training.
A Grand Daddy Purple and a Durban Poison Fem’ed Photo will drop together next.
If mainlining/manifolding goes well with the JHA, the photos will get it too.
I’m wondering if I can get 3 plants, each with 8 main colas, that are 3 feet long buds to fit in my tent???

I got the traditional method going on my WWA now.
I can see this method may be able to help me improve my yields in a small tent.
Always striving to do a little better next time. :+1: :sunglasses:

Right?! LOL. I like your numbers better.

I’m feeding my flowering tangies Jacks but I am doing 421 instead. I’m only in week 3 of flowering so I will order some MKP and be ready for the last 2 weeks.

What brand MKP do you use?

Thank you bud!
