    Changing nutes mid-grow

    I have seen several people, on this forum, who are not going to use General Hydro Nutes because they were bought by the corp that owns Miracle-Gro. I am thinking of changing, mainly because nobody here has ever steered me wrong. I am looking at Canna Coco A+B. My question is can I switch nutes in mid-grow and if I can do I need to do anything special before switching?
    It's not how crazy I am, but how much I enjoy it that makes me dangerous.

    I'm not super positive but I would have to say it would be completely fine to switch mites and I have done so before with no issues

        Much of the complaining is being done by all the other nutrient companies who sell exclusively in grow shops, and grow shop owners.

        As a consumer, I would expect Miracle Grow to use their current distribution system and I expect it to be available in big box stores and it will probably be the cheapest 'top shelf' nutrients out there.

        Of course, there is the whole GMO issue, that me spending an extra few hundred dollars on fancy nutes won't change.

        Just my feelings. Peace.

        One more thing. There are a lot of places that don't have grow shops. If this is in big box stores everyone will be able to get good nutrients.

        completed 7 grows
        what I have learned so far:
        environment maters more than nutrients
        at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
        effective flushing before harvest is critical to quality

          I have no hydro shops in my state and Im positive I could go get nutes from Lowe's or home depot and grow good pot becuz of npk research I've done but I def would say mirical grow is more on the chemical side of nutrients and would probly need more than just plain water for the flush. Chemical vs. organic

          I would never use Miracle Grow. I don't like Monsanto. General Hydroponics does not suddenly become bad simply because they were bought by a company I do not respect.
          Some research into the cost off production and distribution of cannabis nutrients will show that NONE of the nutrient companies care about anything but money.
