is anyone making a pat A & B concentrate with Jacks321. It would already be dissolved and ready to mix. Just not sure what ratio to go with,10X 20X 50X etc. what would be the best? thanks

Standard stock solutions are typically 1:100 which is 100g of dry chem in 1L of distilled/ro water so for every 10ml you have 1g of dry chem. You can also make the stocks custom which will allow you to use equal amounts. You will have to do a test to see if the mag sulphate (epsom) reacts with the jack`s in a concentrated solution, if it does you`ll need to make it a 3-part.

Can the concentrates be made any stronger than that?

Can Jack's be concentrated further to where 1ml of the mixture equals 1 gram?

Is it ok to mix a concentrate containing both jacks professional 20-20-20 and 10-30-20 in the same bottle? If not, why not? I'll be using them 50/50 and one bottle would be easier.

chemicals dissolved in water will reach a "saturation" point where no more will dissolve.

Just try mixing it stronger...if no sediment on bottom, you should be good.

This is what I was, ultimately, planning to do but thought I'd shout out there and see if anyone else had already tried it. Thanks.

Hi Bat,
I did it with Epsom salts...but didn't weight the ES. I add my nutes by how much they bump up ppm. But came pretty close to the level pf concentration you want.

1 gram to 1 ml would not work because they relatively equal in volume. Like if you added 100 ml to 100 grams you’d have about 200 ml of solution.
