We're different and we like that! Looking out over the Cannabis nutrient market, it's easy to notice that a lot of companies insist that you need one formula/bottle/jug for the Vegetative stage, and a different formula/bottle/jug for Flower. And that creates a few questions for folks taking a look at the Jack's Nutrients line.
In a lot of cases, we recommend the same feeding rates and formulas in both Veg and Flower. Use our Jack's 321 program for example. Veg = A+B+Epsom. Flower = A+B+Epsom. How can that be?! Well we've done our research, and we've studied the research of others (as seen in the video!), and we've come to the conclusion that plants still need Nitrogen in the flowering stage. University research even points out that you could likely increase Nitrogen ppms even more if you wanted to.
In this installment of Getting Technical, we hear from Wild Bill on why we typically recommend the same formula(s) for both veg and flower, AND why our 10-30-20 Bloom is important, but also why it's not designed to be used for more than 2 weeks.
I'm a little diappointed I the bro-science. "Pumping P" at transition does not speed up flower transition, lol. Overdosing K for a week at the end has nothing to do with the bud development, as those calyxes have already been built and only fattening up. Seems like a lot of claims made without any evidence to support them. I've seen empirical studies that show elevated P and K in flower much lower than what is mentioned h ere do not result in additional yield and no effect on potency. Basically above 190ug and 60ug is useless.
Does the bloom make a difference with autoflower? I ask because there really isn't a light change. Would you recommend soon at the plant shows she wants to flower start using the Bloom?
