Which Nutrients do you use for hydro?

I have been searching thru the forums and see alot of people using Fox Farms and General Hydroponics. I don't see many people using Advanced Nutrients, not sure if the price is too high for them or because they dont work. This is my first DWC Hydro grow so I was wondering what everyone else is using and why? (price, convenience, quality, etc) I am using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow/Bloom A&B, VooDoo Juice, Bud Candy, B-52 & Overdrive. I am just trying to get an understanding of the different nutes and how they work for you. Pros and cons. I chose Advanced because I wanted to spend the extra money on something I felt would work and I only heard good things about the line.

you use hydro nutrients.

check out the RIU grow faq for more info.

good luck.

peace.

im not asking which nutes I should use. I am using Advanced Nutrients and not changing mine at this point. I am just wondering what nutes others use and their reasoning for their nute choice. Im asking as more of a poll than a question. To maybe help out newbs and others to maybe get a better understadning of the nutes and their differences. Like with Floranova I have heard some bad things about but I have never used it so that is the reason for this post. To maybe see the pros and cons of the different nute lines from growers experience. Im not asking which nutrients should I use. I have my nutes.

i use synthetic chemicals in parts, advantages: way cheaper, much better control on feeding, i can add one chemical without the other. it works great for me

i was using floranova im switching to advanced now though but still use fox farm for vegging

Just started a bato drip with Ionic Hardwater line. Grow/Bloom/Boost. Only other additive is Hygrozyme to keep the roots/res clean. A month into veg and I am pretty impressed so far. My well water is 200-250 ppm. Give me a few to charge the cam and I will post a couple of pics....page 50/post 508 in the g-13 link in my sig is an update on Ionic Hardwater hydro.....

Im using advanced grow/micro/bloom and voodoo/b-52/big bud and overdrive working great for me, I used to use GH flora series and will
never go back to that.

I use GH 3-part mainly because it's what my local hydro store keeps in stock, and it's in my price range.

You should def start a thread about this.

vita grow 3 part dry

I use foxfarm 3part.

dont REALLY need the big bud one, though. Seems to be just worm castings... trying to seem organic or something...

Grow Big and Tiger bloom in tap water.
pH is really stable.
Get most of your micros in one bottle.

GH Maxi series, cheap and easy.

i have used canna/foxfarm. currently i am using the full botanicare line. it seems pretty simple so far.

GH 3 part
vegan blend
kool bloom
nectar

works great

I am using GH and am very happy, they have a pretty good PH buffer, makes my tap water perfect every time. I also use Hygrozyme and Botanicare's Liquid Karma in my DWC's. I got the liquid Karma for free not sure I'll but more, it doesnt hurt, but I'm not sure it helps.

Not many people using Advanced Nutes.. is it a cost thing?

Is there anyone who has used both the Advanced Nutrients "Grow/Micro/Bloom" and the "Sensi Grow/Bloom A+B" that could tell me whether the Sensi is worth the extra investment?

Does the 2 part (A+B) separated formula make a big difference in the quality / yield?

Thanks in advance for helping a noob out

That is my exact thought. Some people using GH because of the cost is cheaper and not because the product is better. I purchased AN sensi grow/bloom from ebay for $55 for the 1L for two bottles of each. And they accidentally sent me two seperate packages of 4 1L bottles. So I got double the order for $55. Awesome deal! Not from AN but from a seller. So far I have been using Sensi Grow, VooDoo Juice, & B-52 at 300 PPM at 10 days old and have not had any sign of nute burns so I have no complaints of AN so far

I used advanced for my first grow. They are pretty close to GH three part.

The only diff between GH and AN is marketing.

If AN was better im sure NASA would be using it.

Ive used AN, Ionic, Botancare and GH in my opinion is as good and prob better than all. And forgiving to a noob also.

GH 3 Part + Liquid Kool Bloom. Best results for me. And like i81two said."Very Forgiving"
