Been growing a long time and only ever felt the need to recommend a nute after trying it enough times to prove its not a one off.
Buddhas Tree Organicus 99 is excellent.
It's the only liquid feed I use and just 1ml per ltr.
Nothing else except Ecothrive Charge which is a granular addative when potting up.
These are 17 days from seed in 3ltr pots in 60/40 Soil/Coco with ecothrive charge.

I dont even keep worms anymore, just use castings an awful lot.
"nutrient lines" are dumb.
If i had to conform to your hydro store lingo i guess id say Dr Earth or Neptunes Harvest. With dry amendments being the choice over bottles

I have ended the Pump and Grow experiment.
I got a bottle and the plants seem to like it but I don't really care for it. As soon as I smelled it I knew instantly what it was. It's bokashi juice. It says made from digested plant matter. I use to have a bokashi bucket for kitchen scraps and if I want to use bokashi I'll just make my own.
I used it on other plants besides cannabis. Tomato, eggplant and pepper starts, flowers, strawberries, houseplants, etc... Nothing showed any negative effects and all the plants look great but they did before the Pump and Grow. This stuff goes fast using the recommended 8 pumps per gallon. Plus it makes a mess and keeps leaking from the pump. A good amount has leaked out and is wasted. I'm positive it can grow weed but I have too many things going on to be playing around with new stuff now as the garden is getting into full swing. Plus I'm not happy about the mess it made so it's no longer welcome here.
It says on the label "No Mess". Yeah right. Stuff leaks all over the place.
I've been using VitaGrow for years. It's American Agriculture store brand. American Agriculture is Portland oldest hydro shop been in business since 1982. I live down the road and can walk there in 10 - 15 minutes. I sure hope they can survive this covid stuff. I called to see if they were open awhile back and nobody answered and they didn't return the message I left. It does look like they've made a couple recent changes to their website so that's a good sign I hope.
They have 2 different feeding strengths. One for hydro and one for soil. For hydro and coco following the standard chart is what I've always done with great results. With soil you want to use half that amount and do the traditional feed - water -feed- etc... The amounts listed on the label are for hydro so if you cut that in half then you used the soil strength which can even be reduced more depending on the soil your using, how long the plants have been growing in it, and the size of the plants.

I had killer results using the bio line in coco..my local shops don't seem to carry it anymore
Damn that’s good to know. Because I was about to give them full strength. My veg room varies. But most plants are around 6 to 8 weeks. A lot of new clones that I gave the 1/2 tsp per 2 gal then added 1/4 tsp of the bloom.I have ended the Pump and Grow experiment.

I keep seeing your posts and couldn't agree with you more.Someone that knows how to grow can use any product and have better results than many growers paying for a dozen bottles of stuff and having nothing but problems because they're overfeeding their plants and dumping too much stuff on them.
I could use this in a soil grow and blow away many with their multiple bottles of nutrients and additives. I might buy a bottle just to see how it does.
I crushed my grower buddies for bud quality with recycled super soil from previous year.
All these marketed snake oils are junk.
....Message to you all. Cannabis was planted in chernobyl to try and absorb heavy metals and radioactive isotopes from the ground. Now, imagine what is going into your body with all the chemical/salt nutrients. Think "flushing" will remove them from the plant. If only removing mercury or other elements were that easy.
Something to consider, I await your criticism.
Happy growing!

I used to dump used soil in the garden but now I recycle it all. I don't want that nasty perlite in my garden beds. Unless it comes in prebagged soil perlite is banned from my property. I despise that stuff. I'm going to get a big bag of rice hulls and use that instead. I mostly grow in coco but I've been playing with soil much more lately. I bought 40 -50 pound bags of kelp meal, azomite, shellfish meal, alfalfa meal, etc... Now I take used soil and amend it with those and some all purpose organic fertilizer. Toss it in a used soil bag and let it cook for a couple months before using. Everything that grows in it does great. And I don't just use soil from cannabis grows. I dump out the flower pots on the patio after the flowers die off and use that as well. Every bit of potting soil gets recycled. I have several bags cooking right now. Eventually I'll have enough soil in bags that I can keep recycling that I won't have to buy soil and if I do it will be very rarely. Any place I can save money I will.
But yeah, the inexpensive nutrients like Jacks or Masterblend are just as good as all the nutrients with a dozen bottles and some ridiculous feed chart that has you measuring out all these things in different amounts each week. Break out the test tubes and Bunsen burners. It's chemistry class! It's sheer madness. And then you see the plethora of growers using all these products with just nasty looking plants and all kinds of problems. How the hell are so many people having so many problems growing a damn plant? The most expensive light, the most expensive nutrients, the coolest hip today strain, and a crappy harvest. People throw so much money just to grow weed and the one thing many neglect is to obtain knowledge. A brief study of basic plant science would be more beneficial than watching some hack on youtube like so many do.

What's everyones opinion on dr earth fertilizer? My next run is going to be in coco with only dry amendments and thinking about going with this brand.

I started growing with Dr. Earth premium gold fertilizer mixed with coco/perlite for about a year with phenomenal results. Check out YT grower by the name of "Mr. Canucks Grow". He uses giagreen which is hard to find so i went with Dr. Earth.
1 cup per five gallons then top off with half a cup at the start of flower.

Good stuff DIY nutes. I've made it to Jacks type of nutes, but not DIY yet.
Any suggestions for NPK ratios during the different stages of flower? Or PPM profiles.
