Wondering how much yall R spending on hydro Fertilizers per grow.

[Mason]

I have a 20 gal reservoir. Only using 15 gal though. I use canna aqua. Spending $130. to 150. a grow. I was thinking of changing if cost savings was high enough. I heard some fert. U have to flush once a week cause of salt. I don't have to do that. I only have to adjust ph 5.3/5.5 when i do water change. It slowly creeps up to 5.7/6.0 during the week. Its been easy to use, but might switch if I am spending twice as much. Hygro hybrib gave his formula he uses. Im just not sure what it would cost. Thanks for any info !

I dnt grow hydro but I do use hydro nutes. The brand is emerald harvest 3part GROW,MICRO.BLOOM the cost for these are 65 dollars per 3.8liters and this amount lasts for 600gallons give or take. Then I use terpinator which costs 25bucks and lasts 30gallons. Then npk industrys cal/mag b vites omino kelp cost 15bucks per bag and lasts 600gallons give or take. If I grow outside I then add silica from npk industrys 15bucks per 600gallons. I also add a pk booster (bud booster 50/34) and it cost 50 bucks per 80gallons

If u want really gd but cheap nutes npk industrys nutrients are very cheap and work awesome for hydro or soil. There powder nutrients so there way cheaper and they work awesome!

I'm using Nukeheads Nuclear Juice. It's like $80 from Amazon. Says to use about a teaspoon per gallon and lasts 2 weeks. Says you just need that plus hydroguard or similar for the entire grow. Seedlings you use 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for 2 weeks. I went this way cause of the simplicity.

Happy growing.

I don't grow hydro either, I use KindSoil most of the times and all the nutrients are already added, so i dont spend any money on nutrients. It's really easy to grow in, all you need is PHed water.
Good Luck with whatever you use

hey ducthman I use kind soil for my autos it runs about $109. with shipping for 25 lbs of it then if your growing in 5 gallon pots you use 5lbs of kind soil and fill the rest of pot with a good potting soil I use happy frog just cause I get it 4% above cost, If you are going to use smart pots a 5 gallon smart pot only holds 3 gallons of dirt I use 10 gallon bags

7 cups of KindSoil equals 1 pound.

Hey. Thanks for all the feed back on nutrients. Sorry for the late reply. My Mom was in hospital. This is a cool site. I've only done 4 grows in 5 years, so I don't have a lot of experience. I will read up on the some of the nutrients mentioned. Hurricane Irma killed last grow. 19 days without power. Thanks again.

I use the General Hydroponics Trio + Cal Mag + hydroguard. I only use 5 gal buckets though with about 3 gallons of water. Stuff works great. Roughly 30$ a gallon for each one of the trio.
