depends on the medium/soil you put em in, and I would start with 1/4 strength of what the directions say

im starting them in rockwool and then im putting them in soil. I already have 2 brands of Miracle grow. Organic choice and Moisture control. both already have some nutrients inside. i want to try the organic choice.how soon can i add jacks at 1/4 strength?

Moisture control has 0.21-0.07-0.14
Organic choice has 0.10-0.05-0.05

moisture control is bad, don't use it unless you have been growing with it for years!!!!!!!!!

with the organic choice add at 20% perlite

and 1/4 strength is 1/4 teaspoon to a gallon of water with Jack's

you should not need to feed till after 3 weeks

I would wait 2 to 3 weeks after transplant to feed nutes

yes all purpose is for veg

and yes I have mixed em, works great

I assume Jack's Bloom is all i really need for the bloom phase right? Was gonna mix in some FF Trio into but, but just seems like it would be a waste (maybe i will experimentl;)).

I would mix it with Jack's all purpose if anything, never with FF

So I'm making the switch to Jacks..... Anybody know if it's avail at any hardware stores or wallyworld? Home Depot? Lowes? Just curious if I'm gonna have to go searching for it or not. lol

I typed in my zipcode on the link you gave in the OP. And none of the places had a working phone number anymore..... I don't know how dated that site is, lol, but all the numbers to all the dealers that sell Jacks Classic were disconnected....

EDIT: nevermind found it

I would do all purpose then start bloom 2 to 3 weeks after you flip em
