There isn't a single "best" nutrient.
The choice of nute brand is not consequential despite what the Athena acolytes will tell you.
Any balanced nutrient line from a reputable vendor will yield similar results with a competent grower.
Dry nutes are a much better value than paying $$$ for water.
GH Maxi, Jacks 321, Megacrop, amongst others, are all viable options.

honestly this is a easy answer the best nutrients for growing marijuana in hydroponics are advanced nutrients. I dont care what anyone says hands down they are the best! my brother tried different types of nutrients for years and nothing compares to advanced.

Apparently, it's easy to give a wrong answer; it's a good thing you don't care because it's a preposterous statement.
If you truly believe that nonsense, please specifically identify what makes AN superior to the alternatives
I've run GH Flora Trio since 1996. I've tried others but keep coming back as they are reliable and produce for me.
I wouldn't run AN because you can't trust what is on their labels:

This 100%
Not this. I'm not saying that AN doesn't work or doesn't work great, but to say anything is hands down the best is wrong on a couple levels. 1. Nutrients are just that. Nutrients. Regardless of the pretty bottles and packaging, it all boils down to what is inside. 2. Some nutrients may work better for different people. Some are easier to mix, some are easier to store, some people enjoy tinkering so they like the 47 part full line of nutrients, and some people don't have time to spend every day in their room, so they like 1 part.
All that to say, you really need to ask what you want out of nutes and what is important to you. Try a couple options and see what fits your system and schedule and go from there.

As long as you can vomit up the price. Nutrients, are nutrients. It's up to the grower, the plant doesn't give a damn. You provide them with what they need and they grow.

No hate. That's your preferred brand. That's ok. But to say that any one nutrient is definitively the best, is ignorant. It may work best for you and your system, but maybe it doesn't fit the next guy or gals system or schedule.
Nutrients are nutrients as long as the labels are honest so you know what you're adding. AN got in trouble in OR for lying. I posted the link above.
There is no one right/wrong answer in cannabis growing. Disagreement isn't hateful when stated respectfully. If you feel you are being harassed please click report and not reply.
Thanks

Jacks. We’ve all tried like 20 nute brands lol
They all use the same salts, pretty much with the same NPK ratio which is what you should be focused on more than the brand. Mono potassium phosphate is Mono potassium phosphate etc no matter what the brand is. 100-150ppm N, 30-60ppmP, 125-200ppmK, 50-100ppmCa, 20-50ppmMg with micros. Get your solution somewhere in there the easiest and cheapest way you can. If you use well or tap water you may want a small % of the N in the NH4 form.

Same here. Tried other nutes over the years and always come back to the GH trio.I've run GH Flora Trio since 1996. I've tried others but keep coming back as they are reliable and produce for me.

Jacks is my prefered. Only because I bought 15 pound bags of A and B just after I started a couple years ago and I've used maybe a quarter.
It's easy to mix, dissolves well, and holds PH where I set it. I add mono sililic (silillic? Silic? Fuck, im not even high right now) acid, and HTC pool shock for sterility.
The silica isn't nessessary, but it makes a big difference for me, and pool shock is both cheap and effective for keeping things clean.

Same boat, but 25lb bags of a/b....so will be using it for a good 25 years or so I guess. Agree on adding silica.
