I guess so but then what's the difference between hydro nutrients and soil nutrients?

MICRO NUTRIENTS are not always present in soil ferts, because it is actually in the soil... Without them you will have problems, the plant needs more than just the NPK values listed.

I haven't used those products, so I don't know specifically ....

General Hydroponics Flora series. It's stupid proof.

i have the liquid karma, grow and bloom but only the small bottles so i will run out in no time and i have these fox farm nutrients i may never use again. And im poor from buying so much grow room supplies i dont want to have to purchase more right now.

As above. Vice versa on the other hand no problems.
