GH Flora 3 Part. Been using it for over 20 years and it's awesome. If using RO water you want to use Calimagic. I also use the Armor Si. You add the Si first, then Calimagic, then Micro, then Grow, then Bloom.
I switched to AN for a run and went right back to my tried and true GH Flora Series.

Check out MegaCrop, like around $65 for 22 lb. bag shipped or they have other sizes. I haven't used it personally, but it's a 1 part mix, easy peasy. I've been using AN too and plan on switching after I go through the AN base nutes.
Another vote for GH 3 part Flora series. Used it first in 1996, tried DynaGro around 2013, had trouble with crystallization and immediately went back.

Pretty awesome stuff. The terpene profile on this stuff is awesome, even just using the base nutrients and tap water I was able to get awesome results that people always complimented. Ive used it in many different setups from flood and drain tables, to DWC to soiless. Get the pH and PPM where the plants want it and wait for great weed. The three part formula allows you to easily tweak the NPK balance as the grow progresses or dial in a specific strain.
No need for fancy labels or "best nutrients" claims, the stuff just works.
Yeah it's what many academic greenhouses use. It's simply good stuff.

The GH 3-part is a bit of a pain to use, has an ever-rising pH, and goes fast because the florabloom part is pretty watery. It works though as do many hydro foods. Dynagro is a far superior hydro food.

I've tried several different nutrients over the years. This is my favorite. It's simple, effective, and produces healthy plants that taste amazing!!

Never noticed that problem here, what sorta water do you use?

I've used RO and tap. Hydro foods high in nitrate N tend to need a fair amount of pH maintenance.

Sure. Use GH products and support the Bayer/Monsatan/Scotts/Hawhorne corporate takover of the cannabis industry. An act of terrorism in my books.

Medi -one from green planet works really good, along with the massive and finisher in flower. Or Blue planet farmers pride version if your in to organics. They both have great synthetic lines also.

So you'd rather support the child molesting big mike from advanced nutrients, while he robs people with fancy labels.

Fake news and with AN 3-part the same price and better quality than GH chinese sourced crap why would you want to help those other pricks get richer?
Fancy labels. That's a childish comeback and Big Mike had nothing to do with what has been alleged. Bayer has it's roots in the Nazis and Monsanto has caused countless deaths as well. But one of AN's guys get accused of a henious crime and the haters come out.
What flavour is the Kool-Ade this year?

Lol I don't use either of those companies any more. I never had any need to buy 15 bottles to grow nice plants and I used GH for years but I found something better.
Nice try but I haven't had any kool-aide in years
.
For the record the OP asked for other options and people were politely discussing that. Your the person that jumped in attacking and screaming and yelling like a child. I simply pointed out that the company you were defending had it's own faults.

Calcium nitrate, MKP, and a micronutrient mix. Extremely inexpensive and if you look at most all nutrients they all have basically the same chemical salts. I stopped buying bottled nutes years ago. I tried several brands. None did any better than what I'm using now. They did cost ten times as much though.

The only folks who use AN are noobs and people who don't know sh*t about plant food.
