I also second Jack's as the go 2. Run the 3-2-1 regiment at ¾ ⅘ strength and you'll love it. Pm me if you have any questions

Jack’s , very simple. Get a cheap ec meter, start the seeding in clonex solution once they are big enough about 1-2 week use jack’s. 200 ppm to start slowly increase. The trick with hydro is measuring the ec on a daily schedule and see how much is absorbed when it’s significant or you see your plants stop growing, increase the dosage. Make sure the solution temp stays around 70-75 degrees.What are the best nutrients for hydroponics please
Why?If you use well or tap water you may want a small % of the N in the NH4 form.
I would say you guys’ sample pool of brands is definitely heavy on the shallow end. Fox farms, general hydro and advanced nutrients are the big box big brand staples of any garden center/hardware homeowner type store, on every hydro stores shelves at all times. You gotta mine for the gold, and what I’m finding out is in keeping with what some of our peers above have said, the value is in the price really, the result is in the competence and attention to detail of the grower. Feeding times, environmental controls, light cycles. It’s not as simple as 12/12 and water when dry, to get to next level bud there are thousands of little variables that will change everything.everyone can hate but me and my brother tried fox farms and we tried general hydro without a doubt in my mind i can honestly say that advanced nutrients is better for growing weed in hydroponics.
everyone saying that im wrong why dont you tell us your favorite nutrients for growing in hydro? because thats what the guy is asking. his question is "What are the best nutrients for hydroponics please" so boys whats your favorite fertilizer brand for hydro? mine is advanced nutrients with ph perfect tech.
I was unaware it does that..nxsov180db to counteract pH rising.
Google 'Nitrate, Ammonium and pH in hydroponics', scroll down to Science in Hydroponics.I was unaware it does that..
My opinion, use the GH Flora chart and follow the "medium" feed. By late flower maybe only add boyt 1ml/gal of the Grow, but my advice is don't cut it out completely i.e. the Lucas Formula, dunno who Lucas is but I doubt he ever worked for General Hydroponics, lol. Sure the Lucas Formula "works" without any Grow, but if you check the N P K values you'll still be missing some useful stuff come flower.So what formula do you coco growers use with GH Flora series? They have several...some call for "grow" in flower, some not. All kinds of different ratios/ feedcharts.
It's confusing to say the least!
I started off using an older feedchart, now I am using a newer one, and having some issues.
And the PPM's / EC is never as high as they say it will / should be when mixed exactly like they recommend.
