Which nutrient line is the best?

Envy Base A & B, Grow & Cal Mg
OR
Dyna-Gro, Bloom, MagPro, & Pro-Tekt
And why?
I've used Dynagro in the past. It's simple and easy to use. The only issue I had was in some bottles there were salts precipitating after less than a year. I could hear the pebbles rattling around when I shook the bottle. I still use it on my house plants.

I switched about 8 months ago to GH Flora series nutes after talking to some close friends that are commercial growers. I am very satisfied with them. My plants have responded well.

I supplement with Calmag+, Easy Weed kelp, soluble humic/fulvic powder, RAW silica powder. Inoculate with Extreme mykos and azos. Treat for pests with neem, spinosad, and BT.

I'm of the opinion that there's not a great deal of difference between the leading brands, I've used bio nova, ionic and canna ab and had satisfactory results with the 3 of them.

I've noticed varying NPK between different brand nutrient but idk enough to go choosing on NPK ratios though I'm sure there's some do.

Fwiw you'll be hard pushed to find a bad word about canna a+b

Calmag isn't something that you just add make sure you need it 1st, if you don't need it it'll cause you grief.

Jacks 321 lineup. Found between 4lb-7lb kits broken up for good prices. Been using most of their lineup. On week 2 of their 10-30-20 bloom boost. Waiting to use their final flush come closer to harvest. See how it works

You have that finish one? Man I bought a 25 pound bag of it and HATED it in my reservoir. I used more PH up in 4 days than I used in 4 months. My plants wouldn't take it up either. Maybe ate 50PPM in 4 days and they were going 50 a day before I swapped the res. The fuckin blue die stained everything too, including the few fan leaves that took it up!
How can a company produce two products that perform at completely opposite ends of the spectrum.

Hmmm I haven’t started using it yet, still on the second week of bloom and won’t use finish for another 4 + weeks, at least according to their charts. I am also hand watering and mixing, so I am not using a res.

Try doing a search on here and see what the other members say about it; like I should have done.

I've used House and garden forever. Their base and a couple of their additives. It's been great but always looking for something better if it's out there
Hey dude, which other brands have you tried?

I am trying to decide between Canna and H&G for my flowers,

Ive heard H&G get their dosage wrong sometimes :(

All I used was dynagro grow or dynagro foliage pro by themselves. Both worked great with nothing else.

I would get foliage pro and protect only if using again because I think that would get best results for the plants

the why for dynagro would/could be, only one bottle needed for amazing results, their feeding schedules heavy from what I recall, so 75% about

trying this one now, never heard of them before. Been spending like a month dialing down the dosage on it, the recommended 1.6 ec (for seedlings), threw me through a loop, at the same time my ph pen crapping out. 1.6 Ec might work for some but definitely not me , down to 1.0ec now, same as with dynagro

Plants don't care what brand nutrients are. Just feed a balanced nutrient from start to finish. It doesn't cost $20 a bottle to do that. It can be done with an inexpensive dry nutrient with better results.

I agree...why spend money on water and a fancy label.

I've had good results with GH MaxiBloom....but would try Jacks if it was available in my area

If I were using liquid nutrients I would go with Canna Coco. I ran it for years and never had any real issues. It's just bulky and expensive compared to dry nutrients.

I've used GH Flora trio, Fox Farm trio, and the Athena Blended line. I ended up going back to GH, because it's the only brand out of these 3 that I don't have to "dial in", i just do half the feeding schedule and everything's golden.
