Cmon people. Some one out there is using this brand. I want to know if it’s worth changing from General Hydroponics Maxigrow and Maxibloom powder nutes. Anyone?
why not?No, its not.

kiss I like itThe ratios in maxi are better and youre not paying for water. Simple.
Every tom, dick n harry has their own nute line these days. Along with a truckload of additives.
Stick to simple. Stick to what you know. My 2 cents.
It’s why I stick to no till its cheap and effective. Feed some worm tea and amend the soil as necessary And restart. those bottles are nothing but fancy filtered water and shiny labels.Why do you want to spend more money? It's not like any of these fancy nutes have some magical form of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and micronutrients. The plants don't care about a name, fancy label, or marketing nonsense.
I just buy the dry salts and add water for a fraction of the cost. Cannabis specific nutrients are a marketing scam to begin with. Cannabis is just another plant.It’s why I stick to no till its cheap and effective.

Calcium nitrate, a micronutrient blend, and MKP. That's all you need. If you have that you can feed any plant you want to grow. Cannabis specific nutrients are a waste of money. Cannabis needs the same things as other plants. Nothing more.Learn how to mix your own, you dont have to worry which nute line. I've used miraclegrow in my mix before or whatever is available.
Once you have the NPK where you want it to be (according to your formula), add...
epsom and calmag (for sulfur, calcium, and magnesium)
kelp (for vitamins)
silica
other additives (alfaalfa, aloe) for growth hormones
You got your top of the line nute or even better than those labels

I e never tried anything other then the powdered maxi series. So I don’t know if it is better or not. Lots of guys swear by Remo and have used other lines. I don’t know I get keeping costs down. I already purchased a bottle of it so for my next flower I think I will take a couple plants and feed them Remo and the rest feed with GHThe ratios in maxi are better and youre not paying for water.

One way or another you do. Either externally or internally.I don’t use growth hormones
Not any other then what comes in nutrients which is not a specific growth hormone they are absolutely helpful in the growth and yes we all "force feed" our plants for growth. But as far as a product made to boost hormones in the horticultural world I do not touchOne way or another you do. Either externally or internally.
Auxin, Gibberellin, just to name a few....you can get these hormones in organic form
Ya, i pH a mix once...if it drifts out of range .2-.4 points alki or acidic thats unstable to me, not worth the effort for possible insulability issues...phos acid is pretty good at keeping the ph down
