Recipe suggestions

Hey riu,I'm looking for some suggestions on a nutrient recipe. I have a few grows under my belt and I have tried a couple different formulas, I have had some good success but I am curious to hear what other people think. I own a few nutes, here's what I have;

The entire fox farm line:

Big bloom
Grow big
Tiger bloom
Open sea same
Beastie blooms
cha ching
microbrew
kangaroots
sledgehammer

I also have
Advanced nutrients sensi a&b grow and bloom
Home and garden roots excelurator
Big bud
Motherof all blooms (MOAB)
bloombastic
blackstrap molasses

I have used the fox farm line in its entirety, following the schedule and had good results.
The other recipe I've used is, for veg, advanced sensi grow an and roots excelurator. And for flower I used sensi bloom an the whole time, Moab week 1 to induce flowering, big bud once bud sites become visible, bloombastic usually around week 5 and six to fatten up the buds and Moab again in the first week of flushing. Blackstrap molasses in every week of flower. I grow in soil...
I'd love to hear some suggestions, tweaks to the recipe. Is there anything that would be beneficial to add? Is there any part of this recipe that may be working against me? Would mixing in any part of the fox farm line in with the second recipe be beneficial? Thanks for any advice

If anyone with experience with any of these nutes is feeling extra helpful I would also love to hear what measurements of each do you use during different stages of growth.Thanks for any info

you dont need all that shit. All of the foxfarm bloom additives are redundant. MOAB will do the same job at a fraction of the cost. microbrew kangaroots and sledgehammer arent necessary if you have a healthy soil. flushing solutions arent necessary. roots excelurator is okay but IMO not worth the cost. I'm really not a fan of H&G. All of their additives smell like kelp and molasses with exorbitant prices. I cant justify the price of bloombastic. their marketing is fucking stupid. People say it's a good product but in all reality, aminos arent going to do anything for your plant. I can give you a bottle of tapwater and you wouldnt know the difference. The silica isnt as important in soil as it is in hydro. I could rant all day, but you get the idea?

just find a solid base nutrient. you can grow fine dope with just the sensi A+B. molasses will feed the microbes in your soil.

just my .02. take it for what it is, a post on an internet forum...

How but no bottled nutes at all I am growing two plants for four months making my own juice.
One cup alfalfa to a gallon let it sit but shake every day or two let it ferment for a couple of weeks is best but can be used right away then one cup of that to a gallon to feed.
Less for small plants more for monsters you can have many going oatmeal coffee shake leaf ewc the list goes on.
