Yeah they will grow weed. Is there better options out there if you wanna go there bottled route. Of course.
What soil do you recommend for seedlings?
Can you list some nutes brands that are better than FF nutes? I would like to research them.
Equal parts compost, peat moss, perlite or other form if aeration.
The best way to research them is not through testimony but look at the actual ingredients and percentages on the bottle. Pay close attention to the micronutes because most of your commercial brands use the minimum amount to get by to safe money. This is one of the reasons you have to add Cal-mag and etc. A very good nute brand should already have everything your plant needs. Another way to tell a cheap nute from a good one is condensate, if your bottles have a lot of condensate when they get low that is a sign of cheap crap and fillers. If your ph is way out of spec and you have to keep adding ph up or down after mixing that is another sign they are using cheap compounds. If its not listed on the bottle you can research the recipe or "formula" online, in most cases its all listed because its illegal in some states if they don't.
They and companies they own have organic products that don't. I'm not saying they are a company you should support. I'm saying you should support no bottle companies. You should be using a well built soil with compost that you amend with top dressings. Or maybe use a liquid fish Hydrolysate. But if you're gonna insist on using bottled nutes, use whatever is cheap at your local big box gardening store vs the marked up stuff you find in a hydro or cannabis grow store.
Once you become familiar with horticulture outside of grow store lore and mythos, you realize how much you're being taken advantage of by cannabis nutrient companies and bottled nutes. You can message me for water soil recipes and grow tips.
if cash is not issue bottles make your breathing easier, smell better too.
