I’m looking into the jacks. How big af a bag of each do you get, and how long does it last ?
I’m going fox farms trio for my first attempt, but jacks seems easier to use from what I hear

I purchased the smaller bag because I was moving and didn’t want to move a huge one.
I’m still working out the same bags since I ordered it, (2.2 lbs) over a year ago.
Visually it doesn’t look like much is missing. I could weigh it later… lol.

This is my 2nd grow with Jack’s now and same as @Covertgrower said it barley looks like I’ve used any at all I also have the 2lb bags id say over all should last 4 to 5 grows easily but you can also buy the big bags that will last a long time

Just ordered both. Now I have to go get epsom salts.
Should I worry about flushing the fox farms trio out before I use jacks ? Or should I finish the flowering plants with FF ?
I’ll post a picture of my flowering baby tonight when I can open the tent !

The first two pictures are an ilgm northern lights auto, the last picture is an ilgm blueberry auto, that had some crazy mutation the first several weeks, then went into flower.

I’d check my ppms at runoff and use jacks accordingly

I personally would just continue using the fox farms for the rest of youre current grow im not a fan of mixing different nutes from other companies and especially with autos i feel that even more i wouldn’t wana risk stress or lock out but if you do choose to do so do what @Chasfitter said above

I think I’m gonna stay with the FF trio for the remainder of this one.
One another note, has anyone had any issues placing orders on ilgm ? I can’t get past the address screen…

I’m not as aggressive on defol as I should be. But yes definitely 3-4 weeks clean up the junk underneath the canopy.
I usually continue taking leaves that are dying until harvest. Last 2 weeks before I know it’s time, I take everything I can off to save trimming later.
