expensive ferts are better as plants rely on chelation, that is basically how readilly available or usable the nutrients are for the plants to use. the expensive brands are generally cleaner and will be used by the plant with far greater ease.

take seasol and an expensive fish emulsion.
seasol is black dirty looking and smelly (gets the job done though)
a more expensive version even just looking at it looks cleaner, doesnt stink anywhere near as much ( and to be honest the plants can uptake the more expensive version with greater ease)

Two things you must look for when buying nutrients for hydroponics: 1) Must be water soluble 2) Must contain NPK + Secondary nutrients + trace micronutrients

A lot of "Soil" fertilizers only contain NPK and maybe some Mg, Ca, and S, but usually no micros because 99% of soil already contains them. So just make sure that you purchase a "complete" water soluble fertilizer. The other option is ordering your hydro nutes online.

Look for technaflora,they have a kit called recipe for success. Its a package of nutes with complete instrutions. Its available on Amazon or e-bay. Also on their own website..
