If you had to choose.

Got some samples from my local hydro store. I am new to hydroponic(DWC in my case) growing and wondering which to use on my first grow in about 5 years. I got samples of the earth juice line and fox farm line. I have used fox farm ocean forest for soil grows before and had pretty good results, but wondering if the fox farm would work better than the earth juice in a hydro setting.

So if you had to choose between them(or a combination of the two), what would you personally use??

Also got a bottle of life cloning solution, not up to that stage yet, but will let you guys know what I think.
And before anyone asks...of coarse I'm using a tablespoon or two of that Ajax in the background.:lol:

I know I'm getting old because the first thing I thought was, that is a frightening amount of bottles to keep straight. How much does all that stuff cost?

As a dirt guy I've always admired you hydro growers. It always seemed like it must be extremely labor intensive and prohibitively expensive.

Good luck with your grow.

Run the Fox Farm bases,their dry salts(open,beatie,chaching) and earth juices camg humic product since that's where fox farm nutes lack. since your in DWC cut the base( application rates down 1/4 and only increase if you get a deficiency.

you could run biog bloom too, but it is messy as shit in a hydro setting.

Thanks mick and skunkd0c for the feedback...knew you guys here would simplify this goody bag the guy at the store put together. To be honest, I've always grown in soil and this was a bit intimidating when I came home with all these bottles.

I don't know why I do what I do. I use Botanicare product mostly. But when shit starts to go wrong I always fix it with Earth Juice products. Maybe I should pay attention.:bigjoint:

That "Earth Juice Bloom Master" bottle is also KH2PO4 dry.

0-50-30 is a dead giveaway.

What color is that one? Red?

How does this help the person that was just asking which free products too use?

Is it really that important to you to spread the gospel of cheap salts? Fox Farm is employing Americans, your cheap salts are probably manufactured in china and are mostly employing Chinese. Even if all companies are using these Chinese salt fertilizers at least they are employing Americans along the way.

I talked about the nutrients in regards to what was asked by the OP. I didn't come here disregard the question, and say go out and get H16 Bases, Kushie Kush, Overdrive, and CaMg. Ill ignore your content from now on so don't worry about me replying to you.
