First soil/less grow. Nutrient recommendations.

Hello everyone,
I only have a couple grows under my belt with soil, but have had pretty good success. This grow, I'm planning on going completely out of my comfort zone and going to attempt to do a soil/less grow with a strain I have no prior experience with. I know this could result in disaster, but I enjoy a good challenge. I'm going to be growing in 3.5 gallon hempy pots with a 70/30% perlite/coco mix. I'm also going to be growing LED for this first time as well, so this should be interesting. My only concern now is what nutrients to feed. I understand that with soil/less I'll be having to feed more frequently, so more maintenance and PH testing will be required. I honestly get overwhelmed with all the nutrient selections out there today, but i imagine all the stuff with the fancy labels is overpriced garbage. I want to keep this grow as close to organic as possible, but not against using synthetics as well. I just really want to keep things as simple as possible when it comes to nutrients. I've heard great things about the Earth Juice line, but don't have any experience with this brand. I've always used GH line with great success. I wish i had time to brew up my own tea's but dont know how well that works with soil/less, plus, with work and kids i just dont have the time. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Works great.......nothing simpler or cheaper........I've been using it for many years.
GH MaxiBloom.......no other nutrients needed for the entire grow.

May I suggest going to www.cocoforcannabis.com to learn the correct way to grow in coco.
Good luck.

I haven't used MaxiBloom specifically but I agree that a one part dry nute is the easiest and gives great results. I've mostly use MegaCrop previously, about to try Veg+Bloom on some other recommendations. The bottled nutes do their job but it tends to be more expensive and more complicated for the same results.

Also remember that pretty much all this stuff works. Everyone has their preference and there's no wrong answer. Don't let the indecision paralysis get ya! At a certain point just pick something and roll with it! There's not as much difference between all these nutrients as the advertising would have you think imo.

O, I totally agree, even in the cannabis world, it's all about marketing. The plan is to start as simple and cheap as possible and make small tweaks and improvements from there.

Absolutely! Wish someone had told me this when I was starting out. I got talked.into trying one of those GH starter kits with 9 freaking bottles in it. Didn't need 7 of em.
