I have never understood this and want to know.

Ok, I have a Question Why do people spend so much on Liquid Nutrients, when for example the Powdered versions are available for 1/3 the cost and make 3 times the amount of Nutrient solution.

What makes the difference between Powdered DRY nutrients and Liquid WET Nutes.

I have been using Supernatural Powdered nutes for three years now, and cant see why someone would spend $100 on a 6 gallon supply, when they can get supernatural powders for $30 and It mixes out to same amount of water when mixed or actually double with DRY!!!

Here are two pics to differentiate between the two

DRY NUTES



WET NUTES:



Is it that the liquid suspension has already been mixed and is superfloius, compared to mixing DRY powder on the spot, where it might take longer to achieve superfluidity.

I have never had a problem though...

Just thought Id ask, why people spend so much $$ for so little?

very interesting.
Thanks for the post
I don't spend $200
only about $30

Where are you getting a 6gal Liquid Nutrient supply from for $30?

Everywhere I have seen close to a hundred (Yes I exagerated double haha sorry)

Anyone got any personal experience with this debate? I'm very curious!

It kinda like the debate of liquid laundy detergent, versus powdered.

EXCEPT I dont understand that one either haha.

This is a good post I would love to hear some more opinions. Im actually using GH MaxiGrow (powder) shown in the first pics, and its working great for me. I usually mix the nutes a night ahead so they are always totally mixed. I have been wondering about the difference though.

well...liquid would be the only option if someone were going organic, and wanted something resembling a complete fertilizer. as for synthetic liquid vs powder...perhaps hydro users dont want excessive salts in their nute solution, and the liquid offers that? I dont really know, just a guess.

Excessive salts was what I was pondering also, the solution would be more superflouis me thinks maybe.

Maybe it also has to do with the turbo milling of the fert salts themselves?

The reason is that liquid ones are idiot proof and ready to go. People can mess up easier with the powders, make a mix that is way too strong, and kill their plants with nute burn.

When i was getting Big Bud from Advanced Nutes, i was told to try the liquid first bc if you don't mix in the powder fully, it can kill your plants burning the roots.

So if you got some brains and dont smoke before mixing your nutes - your fine using the powders

Ahhh thanks Yota, makes some sense!

Idiot proof RIP OFFs for newbies, gotcha.

Although I also see that organics only come in liquids, and that there are about two liquid nutes that equal the value (or come close too) powders.

After all isnt the liquids just powders that are blended at the factory in a concentration.

Still even when I first started growin three years ago, I was pretty brash at mixing and feeding and never had a problem. hrmmm lucky i guess.
