umm well i dont believe in "best nutes" because diff companies have additives that are better than others.. also if you asked fdd2blk a mod on this forum he would tell you its a bunch of bullshit anyway..
keep in mind this plant is for lack of a better word a weed. it needs the same thing as every other plant on this planet which is N-P-K. if you want to go with the hype that advanced is the best because they test on cannabis then by all means spend a shit fuck ton of money on their stuff. if you believe GH is the best because nasa uses them than by all means. if you believe canna are the best because advanced wont compare against them then go get em! if you think fox farm is the best cuz its from the pot growing capitol of the US then farm away...
in my opinion the best nutes are the ones that you can mix and understand the best while providing a stable PH and ppm level for your plants.. advanced nutes with their 500 additives may be the best but if you dont know how to properly mix em than i could grow better out of my toilet by pissing on my plant any day of the week.
sorry to be so crude but what i am saying is that base nutes are not going to make a huge diff once you get into the upper eshelon (sp?) of nutrients and out of the walmart brands.. the diff is going to be with your skill of mixing and keeping it stable.
with that said i personally use the GH 3 part because i think it is as good as anything out there and when following the chart its pretty hard to fuck up... not to mention it is stable for the most part. I also use GH floralicious, cal mag plus, (since i use RO) as well as advanced nutrients big bud and overdrive because from my research they are some of the best boosters out there(cannot confirm since this is my first run with them).
if you do well with GH then use them and just try adding on different additives to give you a little boost... after all if it aint broke dont fix tha damn thing...
