lol, GH flora series is the cheapest hydro nutes you can find. If you use distilled or r/o water, you must add cal-max to your reservoir. That's $50 right there.

"cheap" and "good Bud" dont belong in the same sentence..... you need to drop some cash to get a good stash man!

GH flora is the cheapest and works well. but its more than 50 bucks for what you need bro

Anyway you look at it you will need to come up with more than $50.00, but here is a comparison I like.

look up fox farms trio pack ....works great and will get you high grade bud if used correctly and you have to start off with good genetics of course.

AN, GH, Canna, Atami, Dutch pro, whatever!
Nutrients are a small part of growing.
Available CO2, temps, humidity, genetics, ph, grower skill, available useable light. Get any of these wrong and the best gold plated nutrients in the world wont make up for it.
Concentrate on the basics and the nute brand wont matter. After all, plants cant read whats on a label. Just make sure its formulated for weed. You need one formulae for veg, a different formulae for flowering and some kind of boosters towards the end of flower, pk13/14 and some kind of carb load such as molasses but formulated for hydro.
All can be bought on ebay for around £40 ($60) but will last for much more than one grow.

I ve had great success with fox farm nutes, cost is about 30 usd for tiger bloom and grow big. Don't forget ph tester/adjuster which is another 15 so a total of 45. Hope it helps I ordered from Midwesthydro but foxfarm you can find just about anywhere

anyone who tells you that you can't get nice bud on a budget lacks knowledge. Get yourself a good soil and look into making a compost pile. You can grow top shelf for next to nothing by doing a little research on this very site.

advanced is probably the best nutrient line available today. But definatley not suited for beginners. Organics is the best bet for you. They are cheap and easy to use, and it's much more difficult to burn your plants using organics. The two part nutrient systems work, but are garbage in comparison to AN. In my opinion Hydro sucks. Smoking and growing it.

I don't like smoking it because it never tastes as good. I don't like growing it, nor do i recommend it to new growers, because there are way too many things that can go wrong, you have to have a good understanding of how hydroponics work, start up costs are ridiculus. I have a long list and i will spare you the long read. Bottom line is i'm old school and i believe that to get the highest quality product indoors, you need to do your best to mimic natural conditions. No offense to the dro heads on here, ive seen some breathtaking flowers out of a hydro room. It's just not how i like it.

very understandable but when it comes to hydro I believe that most ppl don't flush or cure properly and thats what makes or breaks any grow
