Hey just wanted to get some input on possible nutes.

For Veg i would use calcium nitrate in addition to Jacks classic bloom
During bloom ill probably run just the bloom unless they need more N.

Another member mentioned using something similar but i don't think he posts anymore/had a journal. Just curious if anyone had used this or something similar or if you see an obvious pit fall.

I plan to run this is COCO which is perfect since ill have plenty of cal/mag.

That Jacks Classic Bloom has almost all the trace elements and what's not there isn't going to cause any problems. I do something similar except I use Vitagrow. They have a three part nutrient where you use "part A" which has the micronutrients with NPK 4-14-24 and you add "part B" calcium nitrate NPK 17-0-0 during both grow and bloom and their "part C" NPK 0-51-34 is just monopotassium phosphate which you can buy separately as well and save money.

That's basically all you need though. Whether it's Jacks Classic or Vitagrow your still getting the plants everything they need. I'm sure your plants will grow very well.

Oh and you definitely need that calmag if your using coco. You can make a hundred gallons of that as well for less than $15. Google is your friend.

If your water is fairly hard magnesium/potassium nitrates would be a better call. Otherwise imo you risk lockout from too much Ca in solution.
