Just wondering how many of you are using a soluble fertilizer and how do you use it. I have been using jacks soluble for a year now and love it. Any old school pot mixtures out there yet?

I use jacks classic 20-20-20 at 1/2 strength for veg with molasses added, seedling/clones get fertilome root enhancer, and for bloom I use a 50/50 mix of jacks classic bloom booster and scotts super bloom at 1/2 strength combined with gh Kool bloom at 1/2 strength. I use molasses start to finish, and there is mycoryzae and microbes added to soil

were you a GH user prior to Jack’s?
I last used Advanced Nutrients before switching to Jack’s as primary nutrient. I still use a few of AN’s supplements at 50% - bud candy, sensisym, voodoo juice, piranha, big bud and nirvana. Silica during flower and Tribus original or FishSh’t weekly throughout.

Just soil for now. I use there 20 20 20, and just switched to there blossom booster. @Medicineman33 thats a neat cocktail you got going on there.
No I caught onto the Kool bloom at a local hydro store. Everything else I’ve found at Lowes, home Depot, and pro garden centers, etc. But I’m finding you can get about anything you want from Amazon nowadays.

You and i are almost running the same stuff. I use jacks petunia feed through veg. with some compost tea mostly worm castings and molasses. Jacks bloom booster alternating with kool bloom for flower. Myrcos added in as well. This year im using kool bloom dry to finish. Second year with the jacks and kool bloom combo though. Stuff works great for me.

Same here and it looks like you’re on to your own special blend. I really like using these nutes blended with some mild soil amendments.i use a good potting soil mixed 50/50 with a bale of peat moss and amended with 40-50# pest humus. This system has worked so well for me for so many years I don’t see any reason to switch things up without proof of a products performance balanced by a reasonable price range. There are just tons of newer stuff out there that I’d probably need a younger guy to school me about.

I’ve been using master blend for the last three or four grows. It pretty much mirrors Jack’s 321 with a little bit different formulation and it is used 221 instead of 321. I add recharge and silica about once every 10 days and flower fuel in flower every watering. I have no plans on Switching anytime soon.
