GENERAL HYDROPONICS, KEEP IT SIMPLE, RECIRCULATING SCHEDULE WITH DRY KOOL BLOOM AT 1/2 WAY THRU BLOOM. With Co2 I get 2 lbs per 1000 watt Hps. No joke took 5 grows to dial it in perfect, sad truth is I got sick of photographing my grows I only got one pic of the best one lol.

For my first grow, what brand and kinds of nutrients do you use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As long as the fertilizer is made specifically for hydroponics, any brand is fine. They are all made from the same group of chemicals. I always preferred the General Hydroponics flora three part, but there are lots of good two part formulas that I would use too. See what your hydro store guy recommends for each stage of growth. Tell him you want to keep things simple for now.
Hey guys, just registered after reading the thread and taking a lot on board! I am 3 grows in using a tent with four buckets and using a 600w light, been using green haze A+B grow and bloom.
1st grow was great got 25 ounce out of 4 bubblers.
2nd grow was fine until i flipped the lights to 12/12 for Bloom and the leaves started going yellow? was advised to add epsom salts which seemed to do the trick! got 15 ounce out of 4 bubblers.
3rd grow went well again until 2wks after i flipped them, i had already added the epsom salts so i was flummoxed!!! Eventually a grower informed me after eliminated deduction that it was the nuits!
So the question i have for you are.....
1. what are the best nuits to use for my set up... AN or Canna or others?
2. Do i need to be adding additives 2wks into bloom?
Thanks in advance and please excuse my ignorance, Been surfing and watching videos for a year and really need some good direction!
Peace...

Well one thing I can tell ya is when your plants have been vegging for x amount of weeks, then you switch the lights to flower, they don't automatically start flowering. What I'm getting at, is that you should consider giving them half bloom half veg nutes the first week in, then taper it off. Second week try going 25/75 grow bloom. If you notice the first couple weeks of flower the plant is still growing very rapidly, creating more foliage and producing more bud sites. I got these ideas from Danny danko of high times, from his podcast. It's not something I made up, all the pros he invites on his show recommend the same thing, hope that helps you out.

Do the greenleaf nutrients contain silica and aminos and a good cal / mag ratio? Sounds decent, I've never heard anything about the company so I'll look into it. I like using one part nutrients that work for vegging and bloom phase that contain everything in one powder. Makes things so much easier.

This looks almost too good to be true.
I'm def trying them out. Wow!
Click on the "please visit products webpage" button. It will then give you all the details, it took me a minute to find it, being on a phone and all to.
And then for example,this is what comes up for their clone of H&G's cocos

Wut up bro. Hey, do you think that greenleaf is legit? I've heard their name before, but never had looked into them until now. I've been wanting to make up my own from scratch, but I would pay a little for someone to do it for me
If they're legit, I'm gonna save shitloads
I'm gonna look into switching to geiko tomorrow also

I have never used them, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. It contains the right ingredients Potassium monobasic phosphate is just another common name for monopotassium phosphate btw (KH2PO4).
There are a lot of other cheap hydroponic nutes i'd rather try if I didn't already make my own. What confuses me is that chart says Jack's professional is the cheapest, and I think that brand is still too expensive! lol
The ones that look interesting are similar to Jack's pro hydroponics. One part is high K, and the other part is calcium nitrate.
The company I get my dry salts from has their own dry mixes like Jack's hydro as well. I've never used their premixed nutes, but i'm sure they just use the salts they sell to make it.

There are actually a lot of brands jumping on the "jacks professional hydro clone" 2 part dry where 1 part is calcium nitrate. It's nice because it lets you mix and match calcium nitrate instead of having to use GH flora micro or "cal-mag+".... ugh....

Rite on.
I think I'm gonna give their h&g cocos clone a shot. The Mg seems a little low for my liking, but epsom salt is cheap as hell. Rite. I'm excited.
I love simplicity. I have stoner buddies that take care of grows, and the easier the better IMO.
It still will not be as cheap as making my own from scratch, like you do. But still, much cheaper than hydro store bought nutes. Thx for your input dude
