Its kinda a fine line when you try to run a live rez.

I dont think most hydro guys have a straight up organic program.

My homie E&F's Hugo's with Botanicare, FWIW.

I dont think Botanicare has anything without EDTA in it do they? I could be wrong....:joint:...its early.

First off you need to chill out, 6 posts in a half hour. you need patience

Bontanicare's organic line seems to be pretty legit.

i will be trying it out is soil this summer and am excited to see the results.

i think itd work fine for you in hydro but i dont have much exp. with hydro

I'm rocking the natures nectar line this run and absolutely loving the results...;) Good in any system or medium they say...i'm using a soiless. Around $40/gal, so a great deal for OMRI dankness that really performs instantly!!

Pura Vida by Technaflora plant products is an excellent nutrient to run in hydro. It used to be OMRI listed, but I was told it got pulled because it's manufactured at the same site where they make their hydro nutrients. Omri is funny like that. The only drawback is the price, it's a little high but you definitely get what you pay for.

General Organics isn't meant to be used in a recirculating system, I saw the results and it wasn't very impressive..

$40/gal doesn't mean much in terms of how long that will get you by. How many feedings do you get out of 1 gallon? Not all nutrient lines are created with the same proportions so one company's gallon could last you 2 months, where another could only last you 1. According to your needs you need to ultimately find out how long it will last you versus price versus quality. I would assume if you're looking for organic nutrients than you obviously care a little more about your product...I would be looking less at price tags and more about the ingredients and other people's experiences with organic lines. Nutrients are relatively inexpensive to run over a long duration, it just costs you more upfront for better products, but when you break it down to a daily cost the differences are almost negligible.

I prefer House & Garden's line of nutrients for a multitude of reasons. Their additives can be used with any of their coco/soil/hydro systems. They unfortunately do not have a purely organic line for hydroponics, but they are also one of the few companies who's nutrients are not salt based.

Technaflora makes some bomb stuff for sure... i use the thrive alive b1 green and the soluble seaweed!!

I also use multiple humboldt nutrient products-Honey ES, Natural Bloom, prozyme, sea mag, myco madness, & white widow.
