What kind of Nutrient line do you guys run?

Hey guys,

im pretty much brand new, have my first plant at 24 days old today. I have the GH flora series nutes right now, but after a little more research I’m sure there are better nutrient lines available.

i don’t care if its an organic or synthetic line, i just want something backed by science and good quality ingredients!

anyone have any recommendations?
 
The one you are using comes highly recommended.

You will find that you will get better at reading your plants and how to feed them inc what pH to feed at as you become a better grower. Stick to one lot and learn them is the best advice I can give.

Don't mix different nutes from different manufacturers unless you know they are compatible.

Thanks man. How are your girls now? After your post the other day. You ever figure out what was going on?
 
They are doing well thanks. No issues apart from a bit of die back as a result of supercropping but you have to expect some of that.
 
The GH Trio is top of the line and works great. I use it along with Cal-Mag at half strength every watering. Great growth, no nutrient burn. I have looked at, but not used, other nutrient systems and unless you are an organic stickler, I don't think there is anything better.
 
I remember reading an article on this site about commercial growers. When asked which nute line they prefer the answer was whatever is cheapest and has the basic stuff. According to them nutes don't really matter as much as environment.
 
Pretty much mirrors my experience when I worked at licensed grow ops. The predominant brand that I saw almost exclusively was either GH or Dyna Gro.
 
I use CX Horticulture products. I have grown to like their line. It's easy to mix and I've learned how to adjust the strength of the nutrient solution to fit the plant's life cycle. If I remember right, Nebula recommends several different nutrient brands on the GWE site.

Is anyone here who makes his/her own nutrients using raw salts? I do so and it has the following composition:

veg and early flowering:
161 mg/L N
11.6 mg/L P
134 mg/L K
100 mg/L Ca
24 mg/L Mg
14 mg/L S
21.9 mg/L Si
2.2 mg/L Cl

mid to end of flowering:
151 mg/L N
29.1 mg/L P
117 mg/L K
100 mg/L Ca
24 mg/L Mg
14 mg/L S
17.5 mg/L Si
2.2 mg/L Cl

and
700 ug/L Fe
450 ug/L Mn
260 ug/L Zn
185 ug/L Cu
400 ug/L B
10 ug/L Mo

These are not materials!
Haven't you ever seen this way of reporting nutrient composition? Ions? What do you feed your plant as a nitrogen and phosphorus source? Monoatomic Azide and phosphide ions or something?
 
I didn't ask that.

Do you have a link to it?

Your clone photos you have posted of the two clones in front of the other two looks doctored. Fake.

The size of the area you say you are growing in doesn't appear to match the photos you posted and the responses you are giving appear to be somewhat generated using AI and quite poor translation.

That is why I am asking that question and you are avoiding an answer.
 
I did for a while but the savings weren't significant and it's a difficult thing. Keep getting algae in my solutions. I guess if you mix every watering it could work but I needed to make gallons at a time to last me a few weeks. Are you using the saltmix3 calculator? Have you found some chemicals interacting with others? What country are you in? I now use nutrients for commercial use (industrial but in a smaller scale) made for food production. I'm sure we can find a ready to use powder formula where you are. The one I use cost 100 usd for a 25lb bag. And I use one spoon per 5gal bucket. So it lasts for around a year making 4 to 8 buckets a day depending on the season
