Nutrients- What is preffered by most?

Hello all

well, i am new to hydro, well picking it up today
So i have been researching a while and it seems a lot of people are rocking the lucas formula doing great with that,

i currently use fox farm for my soil grows and it works great, just heard organics sometimes have ill affects in hydro

so i was looking and seems Advanced Nutrients has tons of different nutrients and so many different products its hard to decide on one

so comments, results or any advice as far as good nutes for a ebb and flow setup would be much appreciated

and believe me i have searched for long time and just looking for user feedback

i use the full line of GH as they are cheap and efficient. i tryed the lucas formula and had some spots on my fan leaves. i quickly went back to the full line and all has been well since then. most people get the lucas formula to work perfect tho, but if it doesnt try the full line. for media i would use rockwool mini cubes in 6 inch pots watering once every few days at lights on. read the al b fuct get a harvest every 2 weeks thread in the hydro forum.

yeah his setup is great and gets excellent results... i am limited to 48 plants tho legally and dont think i could rotate that many clones with my allowed plant limit

i will try the GH as they are cheaper and i think i will make a few mistakes and over nuting at somepoint having to flush and dont want to waste expensive nutes with my flushes just yet

Humboldt's grow/micro/bloom and all the others listed on their moderate 8wk formula. I tried AN for the last 2 years and quite frankly it was just a big expensive money pit.

Humboldt's Master a and b is a little pricy but awesome results

I've only ever used GH nutrients. They are economical and have served me very well for over 15 years. Hard to argue with that and it's hard to convince myself to change considering the reliability and familiarity of GH.

yea i use Advanced nutrients additives with General hydroponics micro grow and bloom..works GREAT

ok, been researching a bit more and humbolt is looking good

cali, you mind sharing exactly which line you use? they have so many its hard to get an idea for what to mix GH with and what to use...
i have been using fox farms total line which is very simple as they only have 1 nutrient for a certain time frame as AN has like 5 different options for a single bloom and flower nute not to mention all their bud candy and density formulas to name a few

id appreciate it

My first and second round I used GH micro-grow-bloom and had great results. This past time i switched to Cutting Edge and was pretty disappointed by their results, smaller buds all around. I am back to GH for my fourth batch, though haven't used any of the supplements, Floralicious, Diamond Nectar... any recommendations?

Used GH full line works well. thinking of trying Dyna Gro. any body try Dyna Gro that has used GH full line how did it compare?

Botanicare is solid. I use the whole line

Pro Grow
Pro Bloom
Hydroplex
Silica Blast
Sweet
LK
Cal-mag

Hydgrozyme for my enzymes

Superthrive for my B vitamins

I saw a guy yesterday post that he fed his plant on piss and lime juice. How much piss would I need for my 80 litre res?
