my plant is about a month old. im going to start flowering in a week or 2, once it hits 10-12 inches. can anyone recommend a good all around nutrient? im really looking for one to last till the end, brand names and where to locate them would be very helpful. thanks

you should wait and start thinking of flowering in like 2 month and get earthjuice grow and bloom and liquid seaweed and that will work until the end

if u are going hydro use floragro from general hydroponics its a three part liquid nutrient and works awsome the bottle tells u how much to add and every thing (about 3 teaspoons per gallon keep that in mind) works amazing because its a three part system u can ajust the n-p-k for what ever state ur plants in (clone-veg-budding) General Hydroponics Nutrient

The standard is a three part nutrient solution. You can go with whatever brand... Some popular lines are General Hydroponics, Fox Farms, and Advanced Nutrients.

IF you want to go organic i recomend bat guano..get the high nitrogen bat guano for veg and high phospherous bat guano for flowering..they can be found at pretty much any hydroponic store

word of warning, I'm still learning, but the general hydroponics charts on the bottles can be a bit strong for the plants. I've been reading a lot about people recommending using 50% of what the bottle says. or, you can try this method https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/4387-lucas-formula.html

Most nutrients are listed at the high end of what can be used. Remember, the more light you're using, if you've got CO2 supplementation, and a few other things can all make your plants need more nutrients to support faster growth.

Not many of us are growing quite that hard-core, so we need to tone back our feeding. You always want to start light and work your way up to see what your plants need. Plus some strains just eat more than others.

Oh, and that Lucas Formula works beautifully with AN's 3-part.
