My babies have hit 1 month old and need watering today. One is in Happy Frog and one is in Oceans Farm. 3 days ago when I watered the Ppm on runoff was between 800-1200 and they are in flower now. I am using Jack’s 321 and was debating starting the routine now. What would you do?
With grow info and pics you’ll get some answers.

What was the reading between 8,1200exactly??? Its important. I start at readings at between 8 and 1000 depending on the plant. Would like to see your girls in beter kight but they look good to me.

My vivosun tds meter is hard to get a real reading. Depending on how deep I put it in the water depends on the reading I get. I usually try to go in middle for instance if I touch the sensor into the water to where it’s reading solid number it would be 800 for instance but if I stick it way down where the other side ( not the probe but the other whatever it’s called) is in the water like an inch or so it will be higher. I would say they both read about 1000
Going in the middle of the lowest and highest reading

OK, I started Jacks 321 at 1/2 strength, after only 2weeks in Coco Loco which is Coco+ soil by Fox Farms. Here they are at 4 weeks:
The stuff works great!

Perfect I’ll start with half strength and see how and if they react. Do you use Jack’s every watering?

What is the medium?
I use coco and feed every day. If the pH or PPM are off, I will go with pH water first and follow that with Jacks.

Thanks for bringing that up as i do use soil.
Watered and did full strength Jack’s mix towards end of runoff they were all right around 1000.

That is the conventional formula and what I started with. The GDPs in my thread GDP to start the new yearget what I call the Hybrid Formula. More Part A and less Part B. I use it because of my well water being Calcium rich.
The one headed Jack’s Nutrient Schedule is the rates currently recommended by Jacks.
I use the MKP formula the first 2 - 3 weeks of flower.

@GrowingIs4Everyone , sounds reasonable to me. 1000 ppm runoff sounds right. I’m at week 8 total and week 2.5 in flower. For the past 3 weeks or so I’ve used @ 3+grams/ gal. Part A, 2+Grams / gal. Cal.Nit. And 1+gram/gal. Epsom…3,2,1.easy to remember. Then I’ve added 3TBSP/gal. Espoma organic Cactus Bloom. And I will add Jacks finish feed for the last few weeks. My plants are outgrowing my tent and very vigerous. Yes every watering. I did one flush after week 4 but my run off is still running low so onward and upward.
