Need help deciding..

I think you will find everybody has their own opinions on this.......'bout like the dif between a ford and a chevy------we all know chevys are better, lol. Then there's the dif between which model is the fastest, yet the safest at the same time-------that may depend on who's driving.....and what has worked for them....

I thought Ionic was top of the line?? Haven't used it.....so cant say.
I grew in soil for years, and I only used Fox Farm, soil and nutes, macro's and all. I was always more than happy with it. I 'd use it now in my hydro but FF didn't have the hydro Big Bloom when I started and I wasn't putting that chocolate milk sandy shwag in my res! and I am one who thinks Big Bloom is the best of the best........
So anyway, I now use Canna Aqua( Vega and Flores, Rhizotonic and Cannazym----haven't used the pk13-14 or the Boost as yet). And I will tell you, "Awesome Shit!", IMO

I also use(as a comparison) GH 3 part series in a dwc set-up I have; for simplicity I think it kicks butt too........

Fox Farm now makes a hydro version of Big Bloom.........

Find something that works for you, then experiment with it and get to know it and how it act with your plants---some phenos/strains prefer different things at different times in different amounts....

Did you get your cloning issues solved??

Great Growing to you!!

i am an Advance Nutrients whore...They are Canadian company that does all their testing on herb, and their grows speak for themselves...

Thats what I was thinking..kinda personal preference...I think Ionic is a good brand but I think I can step up and produce bigger buds...My first harvest went well and we are very pleased but I kinda like more ya know..haha..I am going to check into the Canna line also...as far as the clones go..well I am still working on it but have some Big Buddah Cheese on the way just in case.. thanks to you both for your replies...
