Good afternoon folks,
After spending almost 45 minutes on the phone with the lab at Jacks professional, and chatting away with a bright Lab tech.
I finally got everything figured out.
We talked about "EVERYTHING" relating to plant growth, and flowering.
An old pioneer in the industry, and he know his shit.
And Im quite sure he knew what I was up to..heehee!
As you most likely know, I think very highly of Peters/Jacks products.
It has helped me grow the biggest plants EVER!!!
Unfortunately, Nothing like Ive grown in years..
The company is no longer called Peters, its now called Jacks Professional or Classic.
Anyways, I had to buy the Jacks Hydro Solution, along with another chemical called calcium nitrate, and combine em' 1/2 teaspoon per gallon.
He claims the growth rate, and flowering, will blow away anything away on the market today.
He sounded very confident, and for some reason I believe him.
He was nothing Like Fat Mike from AN, and wasnt pushy at all.
Ive been using "Jacks Dynamic Duo" on my air pot plants(soil), and they are almost even with the hydros at the moment, ..Not surprised at all.
They call this product "THE" Hydro nutrient.

THE [FONT=Myriad Pro,Myriad Pro]
[FONT=Myriad Pro,Myriad Pro]fertilizer to use for hydroponic plant production. It is easily modified to fit specific crop needs and individual water qualities. Supplies magnesium and sulfur with 100% nitrate nitrogen.

I guess we shall soon find out,..
The minute the packages get here, I'll be mixing away with a big ol' Grin on my face.
I think I'm finally getting somewhere in finding the best Hydro Nutrient out there.
And also, The best soil fertilizer
.. Already got that.
Ill post Updates of the progress, as usual.
Im never happy until I know I got the "BEST"
Here's the pdf. document they sent me a lil while back.
Thank you very much for your interest in our Jack’s Classic products. Sorry for the delay in
getting back to you. As you can imagine, we receive a large number of emails and we do our best
to answer each one of them personally.
Although our Jack’s Classic 20-20-20 is completely water soluble - which allows all of the
nutrients to be available to your plants in a hydroponic solution - it is not ideal for a true
hydroponic growing system. This is due to the specific blend of nitrogen forms that make up our
20-20-20 formulation (as well as most retail fertilizers).
[FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold]GROWING IN A SOIL (or SOILLESS) ENVIRONMENT vs. HYDROPONIC:[/FONT][/FONT]
Jack’s 20-20-20 is best suited for roots grown in soil or soilless mix. In a soil environment, the
nitrogen forms in 20-20-20 can be easily taken up and converted to the nitrogen forms that the
plants use best. In a true hydroponic system ( water flowing environment), these nitrogen
conversions will not occur easily, and some forms of nitrogen, (like urea and ammonium) can sit
in the root zone a bit too long when certain low light or low temperature conditions arise. When
this happens, these stagnant forms of nitrogen act as a great source of food for other things like
algae, bacteria and microorganisms, causing a build-up of these materials in your hydroponic
environment. This creates a real mess and greatly reduces the effectiveness of the nutrients in
solution.
[FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold]GROWING IN A TRUE HYDROPONIC SET UP:[/FONT][/FONT]
Our researchers at J.R. Peters have a formulated a 2-step fertilization system specifically for
hydroponic applications, that will supply the ideal nutrient levels to your plants. These fertilizer
products are available in our commercial line called
[FONT=Arial,Italic][FONT=Arial,Italic]Jack’s Professional[/FONT][/FONT]. Using a combination of
Jack’s Professional Hydroponic 5-12-26 and Jack’s Professional Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0, this
system can be easily customized to fit your operation, whether you grow 2 or 20,000 hydroponic
plants.
[FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold]SPECIAL MIXING DIRECTIONS:[/FONT][/FONT]
Jack’s Hydroponic formulation and Jack’s Calcium Nitrate are packaged separately, and require a
little special attention when mixing - in order to avoid forming a precipitant in the tank. These
products must be dissolved either in a two tank system or in dilute (or Ready-to-Use) quantities.
Following these specific stepwise directions is vital, along with the knowledge that these items
should
[FONT=Arial,Italic][FONT=Arial,Italic]NEVER [/FONT][/FONT]be mixed in a concentrate tank together.
On a small scale, the easiest way to use our Jack’s Hydroponic System is to create a
ready-to-use solution by combining ½ teaspoon of each formulation per gallon of water - just
make sure you do not combine them in any stronger concentrations or the materials will solidify
and drop to the bottom of the solution. Also, be sure to aerate the solution with a bubbler or
change the solution every other day to maintain proper oxygen levels.
[FONT=Arial,Italic][FONT=Arial,Italic]Note[/FONT][/FONT]
: An alternative to mixing the products together is to apply them separately, using one at a
time and alternating them every other feeding. This will assure that your plants are receiving the
ideal levels of nutrients.
These specialized products are available directly through the J.R. Peters Laboratory. Check out
free to place your order directly online or call the lab directly to order.
We are happy to help you with any additional questions you may have regarding your hydroponic
set up or use of Jack’s Professional products.
Happy Growing!
