I use iguana bloom (4-3-6) as a base nutrient in flower. At those low ratios I dont get worried about hitting it full strength with a good boosters like big bud, and overdrive.

hydrobuddy is good for mixing ur own nutes
I was going to recomend that. But i think for newbs or at least for me when i started growing for the price you cant beat technaflora. You can get the three part or the whole line depending on your medium or water qaulity. I started with there recipe for success box and for forty three dollars it made me realize what i need and what i dont need. As far as hydroponics anyway.
I recently switched to organic no till and lost some yield and my plants dont veg as quick but well worth the switch as far as qaulity.

i usually use the canna line its good dont get wrong just pricey so ive switched to mixing salts using that software it took a min to get my head around it but its easy when your familiar.
just waiting to finish the canna before i try a run with it

Now is it possible to mix a CompostTea and give it to your hydro plants? Or is that more for soil?
Its more for soil. It boost the microbial life or the soil food web. Although it makes a good foiler spray for hydro. I would just cover your medium if you do that.
Some companies claim too have organic or more natural nutrients then other but i don't believe they have a full line of omri listed hydro nutes.
The closest thing i believe your gonna get too organic hydro is aqauponics. I personally have no experience in agauponics but from my understanding its better for leafy greens that don't require a lot of p-k. Im sure someone with more knowledge can chime in.
My school of thought is if your gonna go hydro go full hydro synthetic nutes..
If your keeping it organic keep it fully organic.
They have a bunch of great synthetic foiler sprays some people swear by (heavy 16, technflora thrive alive, jacks 20-20-20 has everything you need)
But to reinerate compost tea is more for soil but i have used it on my hydro plants for foiler spray..with great success never in my rez. Hope this helps

Yea that is what I thought too. I am tempted to add it to the rez though like a day or two before a water change, maybe in flower with mature plants. I mean a lot of people think organics make for better quality flower but you cant sustain hydro with organics right..

3 part g.h. (gal.), one bottle of super thrive (has kelp ect.) and epsom salt..then for a great carb to mix w the above would be granulated fructose, yucca, or black strap molasses..and ur girls will fkn sing!!!

I've got this girl out back in container between a cuccumber and a jalapeno. I've kept her tied down (20" tall x 36" wide) and give her .3gal of water (drip) / day, and a dose of compost tea (folient spray + water) every two weeks. That's it. She's been in flower for a couple weeks now. Is it ok to continue with the compost tea? How bout spraying tea on buds??

ive used a couple different a/b products for my grows that works successfully, but at the same time most companies add a bloom booster you can buy,, do these really improve yields if so, is there a cheaper alternative to use for the phosporus boost.. like any dry nutes I could get cheaply and replace buying a gallon of liquid bloom booster?
Cheap? Is that what everybody is looking for? What about performance? You'll never drive a Porsche when you never wanna trade in your chevette. Lol @ cheap


I love the coco!

Discontinue foiler spray after a week or two maybe three of flower. Please dont spray anything on your flowers!:peace:
