Hmm. Do's and dont's. Okay.
Dont........use anything other than base nutes, calmag and a pk additive in bloom. Maybe a root stim early on.

Do......throw the rest of that crap in the bin.

The idea that you need 11 bottles to grow top shelf weed and lots of it is just sad. Yield and quality come from temps, light and oxygen in the root zone.

I don't mind the critique and advice! So keep it coming, unfortunately, I am in COCO, not Soil if that changes anything.
‘Ok , no difference in the general thinking of feed.
A simple 2 or even 3 part nute ( that’s it ) …. No fillers or other nonsense.
You are trying to grow as cleanly as possible .

GH alone is good line all without multiple bottles of fluff. You can also try GH MAXIGROW and Maxibloom for your coco.
I prefer this line as it is in powder form and very shelf stable. But any of their other lines ( floragro etc. ) is a good choice.

Jack’s is also a fine choice for your grow.

Concerning HYDROGUARD - you can save money and get a better product with Southern Ag.
Same ingredients / higher amount of Bacillus- less money. ( Amazon )

Was chatting with one of the boys at my local hydro store yesterday. He's been growing about 15 years and run pretty much every line that's in the store. He now exclusively runs Athena. He said out of all of them Athena is the only one he reckons will actually increase the yield. And yep it's a simple 2 or 3 part program. Just extremely well formulated.
