Ive been using Hydroponic Research's Veg & Bloom since my first grow but the cost is getting out of control. Dont get me wrong its a good product and ive had some really good results but i want to find a way to get the cost down. I use Veg & Bloom Dirty (for peat) $120 for 5lbs , Life additive for roots, and their bloom additive $40 a pound. Looking at JR Peters website and i can buy tons more product but there is so much to choose from. What works best with soiless mediums. I use Promix HP. I see alot of people using Citris. Just looking for some help with choosing the correct nutes the first time around. Thanks

Citrus and bloom booster work great, they make a tomato feed that's high in K I've been wondering if that'd help out during late flower

There is a good and recent video by GrowMau5 on youtube and probably on his LED thread. His new DIY ED COB set up is sickening. Amazing.

He did a test with a high end expensive nute line versus Jacks. The guy is very good at numbers and data so I am sure it was a pretty good side by side comparison. Jack's lost by like 1/16th of an ounce on a big grow.

I think Growmau5 said he only needed to add one thing to Jack's It might be Fulvic Acid or something.
