That’s quite a promotion from MOTY but well deserved.
Thanks.

So are you using the Part A&B with Epsom salts or are you using the 15-5-20 Tap with Epsom salts? Did you also get the Bloom and Finish nutes? How did you decide which one to get? Sorry for all the questions but the more I look the more confused I get. Heck they even have nutes specifically for RO water and for growing outdoors.

I'm using the 15-5-20 Tap (5/8 tsp worth or 4g, which is less than Jack's feed chart) plus 1/8 tsp or .4g of Epsom Salts. I'm also adding 5ml of Faux-Tekt Silica additive and now 5ml of Cal-Mag. I did not get the Bloom or Finish, both of which Jack's really only suggests for like a week which I find a total waste of money. After all, the title of my thread is called "Growing Without Bloom Nutes", lol. A bag of Jack's Bloom would need to be willed to a survivor with how little of it you'd use in a grow. I made my decisions based on several factors: 1 my water source, and 2 my N-P-K and ppm per element targets that I arrived at based mainly on the Advanced Nutrients tissue sample reports way back on page 1 of this thread.

Watered everyone with 2 gal each this AM and jarred the bud that was on the drying rack to start curing.

Your girls are looking good........and so is your tent chicken
You're going to have two empty tents at the same time, so what's next?

The family is planning a vacation late June, so the goal is to finish these off before then and have no plants for anyone to have to tend to while we are gone. Upon return, the current thinking is one tent filled with 4 Original Glue Autoflowers, and the second tent with 2 Chemdogs and 2 Ice, both strains photos and from the breeder Nirvana. Seeds haven't been ordered yet but probably will be soon.

The son was working on making hash when I left tonight and I have to make some oil tomorrow AM. The plants are doing just fine.
Nice spears!

This grow has kinda been all over the place with nutes depending what I think they want at the moment and my feelings that day. Started on Mega Crop, transitioned to Jack's, then Jack's plus Cal-Mag. Only consistent thing has been 5ml Silica. Every once in a while I throw a little Superthrive at them. Today was 6g MC, 5ml Faux-Tekt, 5ml Silica (aka Faux-Tekt), 1/4 tsp Superthrive. Wanted to completely soak them since I have company coming in town for the daughter's graduation and hope to stretch it before I have to water again. They all got 3 gals.

Stubby (again Big Cheese)
Purple Lemonade
The 32"x32"
Why do I mess with photos again when I crush autos like this and such quick turnaround? Not sure, but the Zkittlez photos from Nirvana (last grow) is getting rave reviews from the crew as far as flavor and effect. The most desired strain I've grown in 5 years. Probably gonna change the upcoming seed order from more Gelato to Zkittlez instead. May even throw in some Zkittlez autos too to see how they turn out.

So did you give up on the Jack’s?
Wow! That’s a lot. What size pots are they in?

Not really giving up on Jack's. The change this time was a bit about laziness. Since I was watering real heavy I did the Mega because there were less things to add. Mega plus Silica vs Jack's, Cal-Mag, Silica, and Epsom Salts. I had been up all day cleaning the house and just didn't feel like mucking with 2 extra products. Plus I would have had to make more Cal-Mag if I did the Jack's routine. I use a powdered Cal-Mag that you reconstitute into a gallon of water. I have the powder to do it but it would have been one more thing to do.
They are in 5 gal fabric pots. 3 gals of feed was a good soaking and a bit of a "rinse and reset" in case there's been any nute build up.

That makes sense. I’m in 7 gallon pots and with 2 gallons of feed I usually get somewhere around 15%-25% runoff.

Pretty good haul from the 4 autos. Dried bud in 2 gal buckets. Probably got a solid 4 gals worth not including some trim for hash and a bit of bud for coconut oil usage.
Buckets o'Buds! Nicely done farside.
Nice feeling to stop weighing your harvests and just posting the results in container size.
