I use GH 3 colors cal mag,big time enzyme, bud blaster
Yeah I used GH 3 part for quite awhile. Then tried the Lucas formula. That worked well. But it's over an hour drive to the hydro store from me, so I decided to try the Maxi series so I could order from Amazon. I used Pure Blend Pro for awhile too, and it worked great at first, then I think they changed their formula or something. It just didn't produce like it did when I first started using it.

yea, I saw the prices on Ebay and that's way overpriced for what it's actually worth. I was using it years ago before I switched to dwc now im in the middle of going back to soil.

Are there any powdered alternatives that are just as good?
Here is an all in one just like Maxibloom with Cal-Mag just like Maxibloom. You can use it throughout the entire grow, and it's a small company. Just tried it, it's good stuff:

I tried the botanicare line in my dwc setup this summer and it gave me a lot of issues with the ph.
Late response, I learned Botanicare nutrients are salty and unless you have an automated PH Dosing system you will get big swings in PH for sure.

I run Cyco nutrients now and have been happy. If I could choose only 1 base nutrient it would still be Advanced Nutrients Coco Connoisseur A&B with the "ph perfect" tech. The only downside of AN is people say the CEO is a pedo and the nutrients will cause your leaves to burn at recommended dosing but end product is always fantastic.

I only use Cyco because I like trying new lines and after trying General Hydro, Heavy 16, Botanicare, Canna & House & Garden full lines so far Cyco is the best one yet. I premix my nutrient reservoirs & ph them the days in-between waterings and setting my PH to 6.0 I have no issues with PH swings even after 24 hours of it sitting with CYCO line or Advanced Nutrients line.

Note: Don't use air stones in nutrient solution it will cause separation (clouding/slime) and ph swings. Sounds crazy but I had to learn this the hard way after 3 years of using air stones in my nutrient solution reservoirs.
