For the most part .

Some brands might have this or that but high quality doesnt automatically mean advanced nutrients .

And i used advanced for over 5 plus years
That is what I am using in this one. I just like the ph perfect aspect. The ratio seems low compared to other ones I see. But They are great base nutes.

Lucas formula is formulated.very well.for marijuana growing , it's simple, it's cheap it's effective ,
You just have to give a plant what it needs and it will do well,
Triming the plant light and air , environment, this is where your production comes from

Neither, not that I can't grow that method,
I preffer straight perlite .
I like to be able to flood the root zone completely several times a day and massive amounts of air and drys fast

I also like rockwool, I have found the roots need to dry to stretch , as the are always wet in DWC they do not dry so the do not stretch as fast,
Although I am not bashing dwc at all , it works great

I have thought about a dwc bucket with a few air stones in the bottom covered with maybe 2 inches of clay pebbles then filled with only perlite. Keep the water in only the bottom 2 inches and top feed water a few times. I just dont wanna get too far from Dwc. It is a successful type I been using and I just dont wanna fix what isnt broke I love every garden tho fo sho

I use rockwool to start out for sure! I top feed water for the first week then usually have a decent set of roots and its on. The one I have going now, the base Of it is 1 1/2 or 2 inches. No shit its huge. Lol cant wait til she done. The rockwool that was in there however is now shreaded throughout my roots in the clay. Lol

All nutes are salt based,
Lucas formula is 2.5-5-5
It self ballances it's pH and raises through the pH range the plant uptakes it's nutrients at.
It will range from around 5.2 to 7 range , get reajusted then ranges again
1 ml of Cal mag per gallon in veg and first two weeks of bloom,
Some plants need a little more nitrogen and Cal then others, if so bump the Cal mag a little,
Think of the Cal mag as your gas pedal, the other as your control.
5ml micro GH per gallon in veg and ten bloom.
First week bloom ,
6 and 12,
2nd week 7 and 14
3rd week 8 and 16 till last two weeks then flush with pH ballanced water,
Mycos at the begining fed with a light carb weeks 1 and 2 and a couple of times lightly in the middle of the run.
I like to use silica also ,
Except dyna grows silica , do not use that, if you do you will not get the pH ranging you want.
The powdered works fine.
Nitrogen is poison to the plants ,
It should be avoided and kept to a min, the plant needs it, but not much ,.over nuting of anything should be avoided as it shocks the plant and stalls the plants production.
Healthy and happy from the start,
No stress, destress the plants with a double trellis ,
Don't use the trellis to hold the plant down and stress the plant, direct the energy to bud development instead of pushing against a net diverting energy from making bud to pushing against a net, use the bet to cradle and hold the bud in place and feed it fat.
Use the net to spread the colas apart for light and air penetration. To hold the cola in place, instead of the cola concentrating it's energy on holding itself up it concentrates it's energy to bud development

I should clarify as someone will for sure come and say organic are not salt based, correct, but everything else is.
It's all the same, the makers bind a nutrient to a salt. Doesn't matter who makes it, powdered nutes can be as effective as anything else,
If used at the right ratios .
Out door growers use a different formula because the sun helps the plant utilize nutrients better.
