Default Better Hydroponic Nutrients
i've been growing with

1) Advanced Nutrients-SensiGrow/Bloom
2) FoxFarms-Open Sesame/Beastie Bloom/Cha Ching
3) Botanicare- Liquid Karma
4) Root Excalerator until the 2 week of 12/12 cycle

and i use a DWC system. i have no complaints with how its been turning out i just can't help but thinking that maybe theres a nutrient set-up thats better than what i'm using. i've also been thinking about adding a flavor/aroma enhancer like Advanced Nutrients-SweetLeaf, General Hydroponic-FloraNector, or Botanicare-Sweet but i don't know if that would just be overkill. any advice would be greatly apreciated.

Don't worry about overkill, I use a full line of advanced nutrients (about 8 different nutrients) and my babies thrive, If your looking for a sweetener go with sweetleaf hands down. It will greatly enhance the flavor and aroma of the plant.

I would just use NPK; how do you know all that stuff isn't reacting together to fuck your shit up? Have you ever done a side-by-side comparison to see if you aren't just throwing your money away? I bet you'd get the same results with just NPK.

N-P-K is going to give you the necessities for the plants, but if you want to use additional nutrients you can, this will cause your resin and thc production to escalate.

Haha. I've used sweetleaf. Can't really say that I could tell a large difference though. If you can get it cheap and have some money to spend, why not. I clearly wouldn't call it a necessity though. Personally I go with sensi grow/bloom, big bud, overdrive, and sweetleaf, with root juice in the veg stage. I would highly recommend the big bud and overdrive though. I think that stuff works great, but not everyone would agree.
