Hello folks, been awhile since I needed advice. This forum has helped me tremendously in the past and I’m looking for your help again. I’ve recently put aside the Fox Farm Trio, which I have had good results with. Now I am jumping on the Jacks 321 band wagon, but I have no idea what I am doing. It’s a whole new ball game to me. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Real simple stuff. Frequency will depend on if you’re growing in soil or coco. The jacks web site has feeding schedules

Jacks is simple 3 parts A, 2 parts B And 1 part Epsom salt. 3.6 grams to 2.4 to 1.2 grams. Just asked about measuring myself since my digital doesnt do decimal in grams.
Per gal of water. Simple just to use 3 g, 2g, 1g. Mine has abt 1250 ppm when i do it that way.

This is my fourth delivery from my new hobby. Seeds, lights, pot 4 pot, and jacks nutes just arrived.
Jacks is the only one to display their name on package. We arent legal state.
Hopefully, they dont know Jacks.
Jacks rounds up to 4 grams as per directions.

And these tiny hand prints, child labor laws to protect from this.
Lol
We got our stickers paid for them. But we got them.
Total 2.2 lbs each. Approx 55.00 on both and 30.00 in shipping straight from Jacks
Still, no complaints on cost.

You can get some pretty good deals on 8 lb kits on ebay or 4 lb kits just some food for thought probably cheaper it’s just repackaged by somebody out of a big package

What kind of water are you using? My tap is at 170ppm. When i add, silica, then jacks at 3.7/2.2/1.1, with a ¾ dose of Fox Farm dry nutes, my PPMs only hit 1130ish.

How many different formulas did we get. 5 or 6. Damn confusing.
The 3.6 / 2.4 / 1.2 is what I call the conventional formula.
The 3 / 2 / 1 formula is referred to as the “literal” formula
My recommendation is to start with the published feed schedule recommended by JR Peters (Jacks)

Those 19, 6, and 11g measurements are for 5 gal of mix which is the 3.6, 1.2, and 2.4 formula… just to clarify. Sorry if that was confusing.
Must be 3.8, 2.2, 1.2. ? @Sydious
You are correct… thank you sir. 3.8 not 3.6… math, mornings and work don’t mix well in my addled brain!
