DWC Nutrients Help

Hi, I am currently looking into starting a DWC grow but have only ever grown in soil and was wondering what nutrients I need. I'm looking for good yield obviously but don't wish to spend a lot and this will only be for 1/2 plants so large quantities aren't necessary.

I have been looking at the plant magic nutrients online and their "ultimate guide" however there were about 10 different nutrients listed all for different times etc and I wanted to know if I really need all of them or if there any cheaper alternatives and fewer separate bottles that I would have to buy.

Please offer your recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

There really are around 10 options I can think of that ive seen people have success with. Any of them would work.
I tend to recommend the General Hydroponics trio to new hydro growers mainly because of how widely its used and how easy it is to find good information on how to use it. It is a tried and trust system that you will be able to find the most available accurate info for.

I keep going back to Floranova Bloom because it is so easy and my ph stays stable.

This is what I use. As long as your DWC system isn't a recirculating one, I feel that Floranova Bloom offers a simple, single bottle nutrient for both veg and bloom. For cannabis, Floranova Grow is not needed, using Floranova from start to finish is in essence using the Lucas Method and is what I have done for the past 4 grows. I enjoy not wasting money on Floranova Grow now haha. If you do decide to go with Floranova Bloom, just shake the hell out of it, and avoid adding in a bunch of additives. I only add CaliMagic as needed, and Liquid Kool Bloom early bloom/Dry Kool Bloom late bloom and that is as complicated as my regiment gets. Good luck buddy,
I've also heard good things about Flora Duo as well, which as the name suggests, is a 2 part GH product, which can be easier than using 3 bottles with Flora Trio. Oh, and one last thought, unless you intend to constantly be adding H202 to your water, perhaps consider buying some Hydroguard or other beneficial bacteria product. I wish I had recieved that advice before my first dwc grow!

I have a very expensive and elaborate hydroponic setup and I still my nutrients simple. General Hyroponic Flora trio (Gro, Micro, Bloom) and some botanicare calmag...you can do bloom boosters but this base will work great
