Maxigrow - Jacks - other powdered nutes. Which one should I buy?

Hey guys, I've been using the Dynagro line but am looking for something a bit more affordable. The thing is I have about 80 or so other plants, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers etc along with a few mj plants and it's getting very expensive running the Dynagro.

I might keep a bottle for my mj plants but still wanted some input on more affordable hydro compatible nutes. I've been eying the maxigrow and maxibloom the most but before I pull the trigger I thought I'd try to get some input or suggestions. I'm not into brewing teas etc so that's out. I'm going to have to buy it online as I have no decent hydro shops in the area. Again, this is hydro so I can't use anything with the urea nitrogen.

Thanks

i just started using maxibloom. about a 1 1/4tsp per gallon as per lucas formula. i started it with a sick plant and a seedling, it did real well. i drained the res and changed my flowering plants to the same mix. 5 different strains and i have yet to see any issues. plus i like the simplicity of the one nutrient. if my math is right i should get about 150 gallons with a 2.2lb bag.

Thanks, I think I'm going to go that route.

i was just looking for simple and this one was my first stop. i don`t know if its the kill all to be all, i do know that its working very well for me. the only draw back is that you have to warm some water to dissolve the powder before mixing. ph is very stable, with very little drift.
there are threads out there on more powders than what has been referenced here. i know that my experience with powders is almost non existent, from the results i`m having i don`t see a reason to turn back.
