Best nutes for hydro are the ones that are easy 1 part systems. There are really so many ways to feed your plants don't over think it keep it very simple and work your way into other things you have found and would like to try. Your tank maintenance dictates what kind of nutes you use also. If your going totally organic or even partial you cannot use H2o2 for it will kill your nutes. Something to keep in mind. KISS Keep it simple smart guy!!

there really isnt a best nutrient for growing. It all depends on the plant genetics, for example I grow 3 strains and 2 of them just love Dutch Master and the 3rd doesnt do to well with DM but loves general hydroponics.

So it all depends on genetics try different things and see what they respond best to.

good luck with your grow

I agree...get the 1 part nutes. I am using Ionic right now. Very simple and forgiving. The pH buffering is not as good as I expected. I hear Canna nutes are the shit! I may switch next go around.

What are you guys using for ph up/down? I am using Earth Juice. Seems to work good. But I don't have anything to compare it to.

I am using the 1 part Flora Series for both veg and flower as far as the Ph up down i am using your everyday generic up down that they bottle at 1000% markup but as far as i know you cant make your own and then even though you know your getting screwed do you really want to make your own.

Well I don't know about a 1-part nutrient being "the best"... I mean when was the last time you heard about one of the legendary growers growing colas the size of your head on some simple one-part basic nute?

At a minimum I'd say you should get a 2-part and just fire up the brain cells you need to use it. It's not complicated or even remotely difficult. You just have to pay attention the first few times and after that it's second nature.

Get yourself some Sensi 2-part. That's some simple stuff and you're not skimping on quality at all. Add in some bloom boosters like Big Bud and Carboload and you'll see some professional results without a lot of professional headaches.

Is there an ideal formula for lowryder #2 or auto-flowering plants in general?

I was wondering if you could find a balance between the veg. and flowering stage nutrients as auto-flowering plants automatically go into flowering!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

the best nutrients hands down is the techna flora system pre ph balanced been on em for about 1 year and never had ph up or down problems leaf burn ect.

Wait, so can I use just some MiracleGro then? I know high first number during veg and high 2nd number during flowering but do I just buy MiracleGro plant food? Only resources are Lowes and Wal-mart around here, and I can't order online yet.
