Nutrient recommendations

[andyfoster10]

So I've been using Cana hydro vega and Flores with pk13/14 and canna boost and rhitztonic
now these have been ok but are quiet pricey
what does every 1 else use and find best for your grows
also does it matter if you grow in soil or rock wool when deciding what nutes

yes it does matter what medium you use. I was using maxibloom but I'm going to switch to canna coco

 

[andyfoster10]

I will be growing in rockwool with clay pebbles getting fed twice every 24hrs for 15mins

I grow in rockwool grow cubes and used GH flora series for some time, am now using GH Maxi gro and Bloom, to me GH makes an excelant product.

I love neptunes harvest fish and seaweed.. Cost effective and organic. By the way my medium is coco coir with some crap mixed in.

I have grown in rockwool, hydroton, and I've done DWC. I switched over to coco a couple years ago and have never looked back. DWC has the quickest growth rate, IMO, but coco is much more forgiving. I have also experimented with many nutes over the years and the best formula I have found is the lucas formula (look it up), modified a bit. It's basically the 3 part GH flora series, but you only use the micro and bloom for both veg and bloom. It's cheap and extremely effective.

i agree with eGo, I've used Dutch master , humbolt , and botanicare and I switched recently to GH micro/ bloom Lucas formula and my plants look healthier and less stressed already. I love it so far I'm in dwc and my ph is pretty stable.

I am currently doing a side by side between a four part mix of Botanicare products(including liquid karma) and a one part organic that I came across that says you can take 4 weeks into flower before adding the one part finisher...skeptical but giving it a try.
Medium is pure coco and I use r/o water with cal/mag added in to both mixes.

In the past, drain and fill hydro was always the preferred method with rockwool on top of hydroton and mostly used a basic Growmore dry mix with good results.

For me it comes down to quality, quantity, price and ease of use.

Coco blends but have used DM in rdwc settings with equal results.

you will burn the shit out of your plants if you follow DM's dosing chart. I top out at about 1.8ec in flower. Any higher and my strains start to show burning. YEMV.
