Organics gurus...if you had to pick a line of chemical nutes...

If you had to pick a line of chemical bottle nutes to run a side by side comparison with a fully organic soil, what would you personally pick if you had to? I was thinking about maybe doing one or two plants with the Lucas formula in the near future to compare with my organic grow? I'd like to get some experience on both sides..this organic stuff might be too easy if my grow keeps going this smooth lmao

I'm no guru but I'd like to try Veganix or whatever it's called by The Rev. It's mostly organic but has a tiny bit of chemicals. I believe it's silica.

Never heard of that I didnt know The Rev had his own nutes, TLO is a great book...I've heard of Vegamatrix that Kushman's crew put out, I was eyeballing that a little before I decided to go organic

I could be wrong there. I listened to a podcast about it the other day. I haven't looked into it too much. If I got the two confused sorry.

If I was going to run pure hydro chemicals I'd like to try the Jacks 3-2-1
It's a powder mix I believe as opposed to liquid nutrients. Or the Remo line, just because it Canadian.

What about something like NFTG (semi-organic option right?) then you'd also pick another true salt/chemical line to give you a 3-way compare. I'm sitting on some Botanicare Kind from when I thought I was going hydro but atm I'm on the organics/soil crew. So my next hydro attempt would use what I've got on hand. ;-)

Otherwise, Botanicare PureBlend Pro was what I had tried earlier on, and I'd also consider maybe Ionic. I've seen lots of folks comment that PBP wasn't a horrible choice so I'd give it a nod. Whatever new products I look into though, I'm going to bias things towards dry powders rather than shipping water around the country. I've not done my homework on dry options but I have seen lots of people talking about that MegaCrop so it'd make my short-list of options to consider.

So many options to try, I'd start with first identifying what you want out of the nutrient line - i.e. what needs to be in there and how much of each. Then I'd look at those who come the closest with the least # of bottles I've got to buy and at what price points I'm willing to tolerate. And of course looking for something not associated with hydro/weed and from agricultural/farming sources offers great savings from what I've observed in my limited research.

No Comparison at least for me
