I've used most of the bottled nutrients and found they all function very well when directions are followed.
Problems arise when your environmental controls are whacked or garden habits are ill.
All of the nutrient systems will fail for you without proper controls like humidity, temps, air flow/exchange, hid lighting, c02 etc.

The best system is the one you can use with ease, afford, and fits with your habits.
AN, Botanicare and DM were my best fits.

Best is a subjective term-there are many 'bests' out there.
Nutes are just a single part of a successful grow so I'd use what was available. GH Flora trio has always been a good fit for me.
 
ive been using greenleaf nutrients megacrop. Its working 100% perfectly. I use microbes in my rez instead of going sterile with much more success than when i was sterile. I've been trying out all sorts of microbe companies, so far the best seem to be OG biowar. I can see bigger healthier roots with their microbes.
 
Hydroponics research veg + bloom. Pick the formula that works for your system and use nothing else.
 
I like AN pH Perfect nutes with RO water so no dickin' around with pH or running into problems caused by town water that comes in at 350ppm of all sorts of crap that will cause lockouts and toxic salts buildup.

What with GH, Botanicare and Gavita being owned by Scott's Miracle-Gro/Monasanto/Bayer I wouldn't use them to feed my stinging nettles much less my prized pot plants. Damned if I'm giving money to support companies that have denied pot users and actively put up roadblocks to us all these years.

Hearing lots of good things about MegaCrop so if saving a few extra dollars per grow is important then you might want to look into those. I won a bag in the contest they had but shipping to northern Alberta would have paid for a few extra gallons of AN 3-part so I passed on that. At $40/gal that will last 5 years or so I'm not worried about saving a few bux on nutes when my power cost 23.5¢/kwh so almost $90.mth to run a 1000W light for 12 hours/day. I only change nutes once or maybe twice each grow so save all my money by not tossing out perfectly good nutes every week or so. Rhino Skin and Big Bud are the only other two AN products I use regularly and bought GrowTek CalMag and keep some Epsom Salts handy. 17 years and haven't ever had a problem I could blame on the nutes.

I never have used beneficial bacteria and get massive root growth with my nutes staying clear and clean at the end tho I do use a chiller if needed to keep temps down or peroxide if not using the chiller and temps get over 69-70F.

Setting up a couple tubs today to get my DWC going again. Tired of playing in the dirt for half the yields. :)

:peace:

I know right, like collecting/earning retirement or annuity or 401k investment money.....the money earned buying stocks in private prisons and
big pharma, oh the irony of it all, its amazing we can even sleep at night anymore:roll:
 
Im running MegaCrop in my F&D table. I love the stuff.....besides the smell when mixing haha
I've finished another grow with it and after that I ordered another batch. I got results at a fraction of the cost of watered down synthetics I usually purchase. It checks all the boxes and then some.
