Sooooo I'm having a little trouble deciding what nutrient line I want! :\ I've kinda heard from a couple of places that advanced nutrients is good but it's way over priced, and that jacks classic is the way to go. But now I can get grow, micro, and bloom for the same price as all purpose and bloom boost by jacks. Now AN also has perfect PH! I'm really not sure what to go with! Any suggestions?
 
I've not used Jacks but have had good results from the AN. Just know that unless your water has a pH below about 8 and ppm below 125 it won't work correctly.
 
I like Jack's Classic (the dynamic duo). Easy to use and get great results every time. I'm an avid gardener and use it for pretty much everything. Good stuff.

Yeah, our local water supply is between 6-7pH but the ppm is 250!! I've never had any problems with Jack's. I've tried AN and other nutes, but have found Jack's to be a "no brainer"
 
been using Jack's 20-20-20 for many years (even before it was called Jack's). i use it on everything; ornamentals, veges, herbs, flowers and of course our favorite. just to start a controversy, i also foliar feed with it. GL

Hmmm, OK, no controversy, but how often, why, and what strength?

I grow from seed in Fox Farm Happy Frog potting soil in Root Pouch fabric pots set in square plastic pots and I water from the bottom.

I use Jack's Classic @ 1/4 tsp per gal and Epsom @ 1/8 tsp per gal every time I water. When the seedling gets it's first true leaves I begin with Jack's All Purpose and Epsom. When I transplant I water it in with Jack's Blossom Booster and Epsom. Then for the next 3 weeks Jack's All Purpose and Epsom. Then for the next 3 weeks 1/8 tsp Jack's All Purpose + 1/8 tsp Jack's Blossom Booster (the two combined =1/4 tsp per gal) and 1/8 tsp Epsom.
Then just Jack's Blossom Booster and Epsom till harvest.

Start to finish my Girls are very happy. They get want they want and need and give me the same in return.:bighug:

I plan on the same
 
I use something similar to Jack's, it's a water soluble 3 part fert. 3,2,1 is the formula tha has worked for me for a solid year, 100$ investment and still havent run out of micro nutrient, cal-nit, or epsom

I started using advanced, but as you already know it's way over priced and goes super quick.
