This is what I asked the hydro shop guy the first time I went. Well second time as the first time I asked for a salad :)
I also asked what was available as a nutrient or supplement product and what was necessary vs extra vs snake oil. And what's the best product or source to get each He gave me a long answer including recommending getting some pre combined . I continued asking the internet and books and started to become pretty knowledgeable here's what I can remember from b4 I got interupted.

Light
A medium; soil water ect
The 20 or so essential minerals; npk micros c h o k CA mg s


Aminos
Catalysts such as cytokinins

Enzymes
Hormones; different kinds one being stress

Auxins

Some things the plant will produce on its own but can usually use more then it alone produces

plenty of books to learn from mel franks book is also a very good read if ur only at the stage of learning what nutrients they use id say u can never be researching enough at this stage and a book would be a great place to start as hanging round these forums can often lead to many myths that ull end up busting down the line and only wish ud researched sooner

Sorry esh but you make no sense to me so I have no idea how to respond.

Buy a big bale of HP, some pots, lights etc and get back to me when the beans sprout.

Triacontinal from alfalfa sprout tea
Cytokinins from popcorn sprout tea

Or
Aminos from liquid karma
Or catalysts are found in bloom boosters . or whatever I made that last one up.
I have those two grow Bibles mentioned book suggestions and links are a great way to communicate large amounts of information and are appreciated here. I am trying to focus on a single chapter like say what inputs can cannabis benefit from.?

ProMix HP. High Porosity peat based grow media. Best for soilless growing of cannabis with whatever nutes you choose.

I choose Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect for my soilless or DWC. I've used the earlier products since 2001 and it's always been good.

Lots of great organic nute lines you can use with HP as well. It has nothing in it that precludes it from being used for organic growing.

I am about to bloom 4 girls of my own strains as well. 2 smell of Juicy Fruit gum. The other two are slightly like that but a hint of diesel. Odd, as there is no diesel in their parentage.

The bloom will out!

:peace:

I hope to be growing like that next season Prince. Got lots of compost here fortified by the chickens, a small lake in my yard for water and short but very intense growing season. Perfect for the auto flowering beans I'll be planting once I've bred them.

I just bought the vegamatrix line of nutrients to try my next run. Been using their big an sticky and plants really seem to like it. All vegan no bone meal and such just plant based. I've wondered though if it's plant based does that make my plants cannibals? Lol

Hey, your going to love the Vegamatrix. The only thing I have added to the process is a silica booster for stronger stalks. Instead of the OG tea we are using Orca. Teas are great if you don't have employees who can mess things up. We grow commercially and the only real downside to that product line is no automation. EVERY brand of feed that can be used in Hydro will have industrial salts and some amount of heavy metals to keep the fluid in a "safe" state for the plants to feed. Genuine Veganic food must be used in less then 4 hours after mixing for best results, go 12-24 hours and it will harm the plants as it is living food that will change with time.

VegaMatrix has none of those preservatives and is the reason you never do a product flush like Final Finish, there is nothing needing a flush to begin with.
