pure blend pro is a good choice if you dont want to go completely organic

Pure blend pro is solid. Can't say anything about roots organics since I've never gone a whole run with them.

Synthetic nutes aren't necessarily "harsh chemicals" though. You probably had issues with overfeeding. Less is more when it comes to nutes. a EC/ppm meter can come in real handy sometimes.

The higher the reading the more salt you have. the max i would get your ppm is 1200 and that is during flowering. then start flushing.

some of the biggest problems ive seen have been with people using well water. it contains lots and lots of elements that can hurt a grow. have your water checked.
