its the same stuff man i dont really care about cobalt and molybdenum those are such SMALL amounts of it in there that its not even an issue its the same stuff in a one part instead of a 2 part

only had 2 minerals missing that i could find.
I was just correcting you because you said it had 'EVERYTHING the lucas formula has' and it doesn't. Flora nova is also missing manganese. All of these bottles will grow plants but they're not cheap. Floranova is almost double the price of DynaGro, contains 9 fewer essential elements and at best is just as concentrated. Nova may be an easy fertilizer but at $80/gallon, it's far from cheap.

My store has it for $80.95. Just because it's cheap for you doesn't mean it's cheap for us.
here first website that popped up on google when i did a search for it http://alternativehydro.com/ go there it says 60 bucks for a gallon right there.
Unless you're picking it up, it's going to cost $15 to ship. Again, $75 for a gallon isn't cheap.

Thank you for pointing out the Dyna-Gro nute line. I will definitely look into these. I have been using Botanicare and it has worked acceptably for me. Their formulas are available from my local hydro shop, but the prices have started to climb over the last year. Still not too bad, but it is nice to have alternatives.

Cheapest: Miracle Grow Veg + Bloom. About $10-12 total for enough for a long time. Works alright if your dirt poor, mainly for soil. (Never heard of anyone trying in hydro anyway, maybe it can be done?)

Way Better: Dyna-gro Veg + Bloom. Under $20 to get a small set, can be used in hydro or soil.

Splurge: Fox Farms, Advanced Nutrients, GH, etc.

Best overall value IMO is gonna be the Dyna-gro pair. =)

I use Alaska fish ferts 5-1-1 throughout my vegg stage 6.00 a bottle stinks to hell butworks extreemly well for me...
I saw some stuff at Home Depot the other day with that same ratio/price range and it said it was de-scented fish oil so it didn't reek at all! =D

I have yet to find a fish emulsion based that does not have a fishy smell, no matter what the label says. They do work very well though!

if you want to go all organic you can get everything you need to brew tea's from home depot or any local nursery.

that being said, local nurseries are now starting to carry Fox Farms.There entire line, from soils to nutes and supplements. it seems the flooring people for most nurseries realized more people grow weed than roses these days.

GH lucas method has got to be about the cheapest/easiest route to go.

you only need 2 bottles, which are 9 bucks a pop full retail. if you hit your PPM on the head your PH will be correct with Lucas and wont need PH up or down.

ive never used dynagro.

GH nova series is lucas method in one bottle basically.... so you could just buy the GH flora nova bloom and be done with it.

all the bullshit you dumb into the soil really isnt what makes amazing buds.

environment, environment, environment.

The thread title is "Best CHEAP nutes". At 80 or even 50 bucks that's alot of money. For less than 5 bucks you can get all that you need through SmokeNGrow. Ask for samples and see for yourself!!!
