Is my buddy an idiot?

He claims all i need (as far as nute) is this trio to start a dwc set up

Real question is are you?
Before you start to grow, you need to do a good deal of research. If you're asking questions like this I'll assume you have barely done any.

 

[MR419914]

I've actually read a lot about it and reviews but everyone always uses their other products with these and im curious if this trio alone is suffice. I have the mag/cal and ph up&down. Ive always done soil grows so wasnt positive about dwc.

AN is one of the most expensive nutes. There are many alternatives that perform equal.

Rec: Check with other DWC growers here to get an idea of whats popular and why.

I grow in coco, no DWC experience.

You have my attention kind soul

 

[MICHI-CAN]

Try soil and Seagrow until you get the feel. Boutique is just a more expensive usually full synthetics.

 

[MR419914]

I've got the feel of soil grows looking to start a deep water culture set up and i already have this trio but would this trio alone be surfice for the entire grow

 

[MICHI-CAN]

I'm not familiar with that product. Sorry. Ditched the wet systems years ago due to cost and maintenance.

I recommend good old General Hydro 3-part. My friend grows *amazing* plants using that and cal-mag in coco. It doesn’t have a sexy label, but it works.

Most nutes are basically the same things. I haven't done DWC for quite a few years but when I did I used the same stuff I use today for coco or soil. Calcium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate, and a micronutrient mix. I've been using that combination for years. You can use the nutes you show, General Hydroponics, Botanicare, Megacrop, Maxi-Grow/Bloom, Jacks, Masterblend, etc... Any nutrient that has what the plant needs will get you to a good harvest. More important factors are lighting and environment. You can spend all the money you want on fancy nutes and additives but if you're lacking in light or give the plants a poor environment your grow will be poor. Nutes are way down the list of things to be concerned about. As long as they have NPK and micronutrients they'll they'll feed your plants.

I used that 3 part for a while when I was doing flood and drain. I didn't like the sludge buildup from the micro part so I switched to VitaGrow. GH is a legitimate nutrient.

That's literally all you plants need. Macros-NPK-Calcium-magnesium. I like to add a couple things for root rot preventative and to feed the roots

 

[Hydrotech364]

I use Envy, 2 part nutrients and some hand picked supplements I've found optimum over the years.

thank you for keeping us abreast of the latest techniques

Just get Jack's 3-2-1 and be done with it. So much cheaper in the long run and way better than the bottled stuff.
