just the obligatory note that Jacks would never tell you which of their nearly infinite products or product lines to do without a personal water test conducted at your property...lol
jacks and yara are going to be AG salts (import solid salts by the metric ton from china and use it to grow your feed corn/ethanol corn/other run of the mill industrial ag scale stuff). AG salts are a common source of heavy metal poisoning in the soil, considering that 9/10 imported tons are coming from places you'd never think of buying consumables from... anyway, that is why they are cheap. You would never, ever, use these products in like a vineyard.
jacks stuff with quality for cannabis would be something likely advertised for tomatoes
there is a cycle on here where folks go from buying the most expensive juice they can find to the cheapest (from boutique cannabis stuff to AG salts) and think they broke the matrix. in reality, folks use cannabis plants to remediate soil by pulling heavy metals out and into the plant mass. This is why we literally test for metals in any program worldwide where it is regulated. Anyway, listen to some of the industry talks with the founder CEO of advanced nutrients (not an ad or a recc) to hear about how crazy sourcing salts can get at that scale and the shenanigans that happens. like the chinese gov asking the company to get rid of x lbs of mercury waste every ton of Y salt....
jacks 3-2-1. Can buy generic versions of the 2nd/3rd parts, but use JR Peters "Jack's Part A 5-12-26" .
I'd also suggest getting the no-nitrogen Part A 0-12-26. It allows dropping nitrogen in flower while maintaining calcium levels better. Caclium nitrate and epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) are the 2 other parts of this setup. These can be generic products and will be molecularly the same. I buy the 8lbs non scented equate brand epsom salt at walmart, for example. Relative to proportion of dosage, 8lbs pairs will with the 25lb bag of Part A. There's a brand called yaraliva that sells 50lb bags of calcium nitrate for 30-40 dollars.
Probably averages out to 30-40 dollars per year for year round growing in a 4x4 or 5x5 sized tent. Can't beat it. I have a PPM breakdown for formulas in germination week, week 7 and at some point deeper into flower - animal mints, kush mints or mountop mint diaries. their instructions are a good starting point too. I think it's a bit high in N, but whatever works.
If you buy in bulk, it's less than 4 cents per gallon mixed. Buy some 25lbs bags ever 3-4 years or more. Dry nutes store indefinitely assuming common sense storage. It might cost more up front, but it is cheaper in the long run.
Fertilizer is cheap. Paying a premium for it is totally unnecessary.
