The most generic question in existence!

What would you guys recommend as the best nutes? Due to my situation, I can't really do a full organic run, so synthetic is my option. I've used advanced nutrients and GH for just under a decade now, hoping there is something better out there.

any of the nutrient lines with a balanced npk will do fine. i started with GH for a while, then moved to living soil about two years ago, and now i'm using a brand called Maxsea. i've never had healthier plants than i do now. i use promix, mix in a bit of amazing compost and perlite, and feed lightly with the maxsea.

everyone will have different opinions here but it is hard to argue with a balanced NPK and all the micros, and don't overfeed them.

good luck!

If you want to use the best fertilizer then you need to look in a different place then hydroponic stores and cannabis forums.

Do you have any suggestions? Or is a riddle all I get?

"Best" is subjective. I like Grow More Sea Grow as a way to do some organics without getting entirely into "cooking" soil. It's a good balance between synethetic and organic. See this thread for a schedule (and I link to my schedule there too.).

Jack's Classic is popular among experienced growers.

If you want to do more organic than Sea Grow, but not get into "cooking" soil, @uwine99 has an interesting water-only soil which doesn't require cooking. I'd like to try this sometime.

Well any bottled nutes will have either phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide, or formic acid as a preservative . So find the one that's least harmful. Pretty much anything that's fish based would best imo. Still harmful though

No till living soil is the best way to go imo. Nothing better.

If you buy GH, youre feeding big corporate (Scott's Brand and Lowes) and AN is a little over priced.

I'm against the fortune 500 from being involved in any of the cannabis industry.

^^^^ yep gh is owned by miracle gro which is owned by scotts which is partnered with monsanto. Fuck gh
