Transplant shock and nute burn

I just recalled your using distilled? RO (which someone said is basically the same) is void of many minerals some of which are cal-mag. FF support themselves told me that if using RO you can do their calmag 2 outta 3 feedings.

Def something to look at. Later

Yeah im using distilled witch is almost the same as RO i do have some botanicare calmag that I can use but at the same time I do plan on using Jacks 321 formula in the next few weeks so idk if I should start using calmag or what I should use that will go along with the jacks nutrients

I use jacks 321 and add 5ml calmag per gal. Every feeding, I know I can tweak jacks recipe for calmag but I don’t, I also use 50/50 ro& city water

I’ve been using distilled just switched to distilled mixed with my well water i wish I could use just my well water but it has a high EC of 940 and a TDS of 677 and a PH of 7.5 I just started mixing the 2 today to get me to a 500 tds

Also are you just using calmag during veg until you start nutes i believe i saw in another post you also use Happy frog and ocean forest or do you use anything else

I use the Cal Meg until mid flower around week for five. I am by no means an expert, and I’m not the best at measuring runoff so I usually wait around week three after using fresh soil to introduce nutrients. I also feed at 50% of their feeding schedule, most folks recommend using half or even a third.

I stop calmag and silica at 5 weeks and use happy frog only, when ppms drop under 1000 I use some advanced nutrients at 1/2 dose with jacks
