Is your 2-1-3 NPK ratio coming from university papers or just something you've noticed as you walk around the hydro store? I feel like a lot of snake oil brands do the 1-1-2 ratio and personally I think that's to encourage the purchase of their boosters. I know people who use Jacks 20-10-20 with great results and others who swear by the 3-1-2 ratio for dirt.
Is the 18% calcium in veg/bloom causing any issues that you can tell?

i know i'm in his ignore list. but he still reads my posts (hi HB)...
he ran in dirt a few times with dyna. i'm gonna run it in dirt and then in hydro. a complete nutrient should work in both.

Homebrewer I think you're right on target. They are taking the needs of the plant and making it so you have to buy a range of products to meet them. The sad thing is that the novice believes the hype and spreads the misinformation.
to the people using jacks or peters professional in soil. do you see a spike in your ppm after you add ph up to the nutrient solution? I ph my water after adding nutrient and see a spike of 250 after i use ph up. I dont know if using the brand of ph is causing this, im using GH ph up. I been using peters/jacks for a year now with good results but i was just wondering if anybody is having this happen to them too

I've been using some old Peters 50-50-50 for years.
yup always ph after adding all nutes.
so some of you are using this stuff in hydo? hows that working out? or do you use the hydro formula?

been using Jack's Classic 20-20-20 ever since Scott's bought out Peter's. i understand that Scott's changed the original formula
which enabled the old Peter's to be made again. Jack, the previous owner of Peters now makes it.
i get excellent results and have been using it on landscape plants also.
the best is Uncle Ben likes it and that's all i need to know.

All Scotts owns is the Peters name and you're right, it is crap.LMAO Peters is owned by Scotts and probably will poison you. J.R. Peters is the bestest bad ass cheap fert. You guys are all quite confused of what you're talking about.
I've been using JR Peters products since 1972, with no complaints. Usually in 50lb bags.
@ Tom bodett
