Hey guys easy question looking for a simple answer. Going into hydro and going with the auto pot. Just wondering what is the easiest and fewest nutes i can get to have a successful start to grow finish.

I do not need expensive or fancy. Just something that works... maybe an amazon link to exactly what i need =D. I was looking at aqua flakes but I am not sure what I need to get through an entire grow.

The fewer amounts of nutrients i have to measure and blend the better. thanks guys... Nothing organic i dont want to clog it.

i bought an autopot pack (2 pots + valve + reservoir) and it came with the manufacturer's 2 part nute solution. 4.5:1:5.6 n/p/k ratio.

Seems to be ok in veg so far...

I thought about going Hyrdroponic research HD.... but reading a lot of mixed reviews... Remember the least ammount of bottles the best... Price isnt an option

DynaGro is pretty simple and effective. Add a teaspoon per gallon (2-3 for recirculating systems) and you're done. It doesn't leave muck or stick to the sides either, just a clear green liquid. For veg you'd need DynaGro Grow and DynaGro Bloom for flower. During flower you'd want to add a teaspoon of calmag per gallon along with the dynagro bloom.

Unfort I have already bought it... But it is a power... and i really dont want to be mixing it with warm water and stirring so I am already upset with myself that I bought it. I have been reading alot about Dyna Grow and lots of people say there is heavy sediment and I do not want to clog up my system....

Frosty can I pick your brain on the Flora Trio or the Flora duo? Both of those are liquid, and have decent reviews.? Anythoughts on those brands or Aqua flakes by HG? Apprecaite all your help friend! and especially the links.. I invested a lot into this system i just dont want to blow it on some bum nutes.

Never tried the Flora or HG the sediment on the dnyagro is a bit in the bottle on the bottom, it runs real clean in hydro system itself. I never get sediment in the actual hydro res at all using dynagro but GH Maxibloom (powdered) will leave a crystalline film around the edges and fox farm hydro nutes can be straight up nasty in there.

Those are the only three I've tried and the dynagro is the cleanest.

You can try it out. Should work out OK. The sediment deal with dynagro shouldn't be like that but really it's a non issue as far as effecting your system because it doesn't go in it. I know people bring it up but it's just a little bit of pieces down in the bottom of the bottle, the liquid runs clear. If anything people should be bashing the fox farm hydro stuff, that shit turns your roots brown and makes your res look like you filled it with pond water.

I agree with the statement . While they make good soil nutes... The bottle I have is dirty as hell. Is the more sediment in the flora series or dyna grow.... Maybe this grow I will do the flora serie... Then the dyna grow... Then the Lucas style flora and see what o like... Who knows... I have a couple more weeks left to decide at least... Thanks for all the help man.!

Canna is always a solid choice. What you'll be using for substrate? Coco, perlite, other?
I'm doing Autopots with coco+little perlite, and I'm Using either Bionova or Canna nutes, depending whatever the store has in stock. Advanced Nutrients seems to be working great also, according to friends..

I'm gonna try the flora series out first. I am not 100% on my growing medium. Probably using grow stones. I have a bag of plant it hydroton that I am scared to use bc of ph swings... But I got a doser so I should be good!

I think that straight hydroton won't work in Autopots because its not that good at wicking the nutes upward.. I think that the autopots were desingned to be used with coco/perlite mix.. See around if you can find Ugro pure max air brand of coco, thats what im gonna get next.. Tired of mixing cocoblocks and perlite, its just so messy..
