J R Peters, aka Jacks nutes is one of the cheaper fertilizers to mix, doesnt require 10 seperate bottles to mix and store, just 3 bags.
Jacks was selling fertilizers to farmers before most of us were born. Not a fly by night nute company.
I have only used the General Hydroponics FLora Series with Si and Cal Mag and KoolBloom additive and I have no complaints in how I use it in my setup and my harvest…I believe having a liquid nutrient base is better than having a powder nutrient base that must be dissolved…my 2 cents
Dr Earth’s, recharge, black strap molasses, Neptune’s harvest and botanicare for me.
They have a veg one and a bloom one. I also dry amend with worm castings, bonemeal, and occasionally lime. I can tell how the calcium in the soil is fairing by the nearby tomatos and how they are doing with blossom end rot. They are all grown in the same soil in my raised bed gardens. I’m sure there are other things I just can’t remember right now. I have some Hydroponic stuff the plants seem to love along with a fish emulsion and seaweed thing. But I don’t use those last things very often.
Pretty much all my outdoor buds turned out like this and trust me when I say I didn’t do a whole lot of fussing over them. I traveled 3 weeks out of every month and hubby just made sure the water was on schedule. I fertilized when I came home on the weekend which is why I like the dry amendments. They saved a ton of time. No ph’ing, no testing runoff (LOL)
Oh wow! Those are beautiful!
This is my first time growing (I’m in Northern California), I started my plants inside, once the weather stays consistently decent and days get a little longer I am going to start transitioning them to outdoors.
I will definitely be looking into the FF dry stuff, with work and the family my schedule is pretty jammed so I am all for anything that can save me time.
Thank you for the information too, I appreciate it.
That last pic is a massive flower. Good growing!
Wow! This thread has turned out better than I could have anticipated! Thanks everyone! Some gorgeous buds!
@JaneQP ive other mention highway dust Jane what exactly is it do they have website? Im putting finishing touches on my rdwc system and bought jacks for ease of use, i used AN ph perfect my last grow and true to form never really had a ph issue just didnt care for all the mixing and discolourration of the roots and my totes
dang you and your perfect weather… 
Dont change nothing, if isn’t broke, don’t fix it, your proof is in the massive spear chukkar cola heads. Gorgeous

I’d hardly say perfect LOL. If you consider 110 degrees l, 20% humidity and 30 mile per hour winds perfect… I call it an Air Fryer
LOL thank you. I’d like to figure out the pest thing, especially the caterpillars
Have you talked with hippierunner1? Im sure he would be great source for pest control.
My favorite nutrient brand is jacks nutrients. I use jacks with a few amendments for additional growth. Not necessary, because jacks by itself will grow a fine plant.
I use Tribus, kelp, and humic acid, while not necessary I feel like they add benefits.
Hoooweee! Very nice @Caligurl 
my bad I thought you might be a Emerald triangle native in California…still nicely grown plants
Which line of jacks? Do you change from veg to bloom or just use one straight through?
I use Jacks nutrients . I bought 30lb bags in 2020 when I started using it and I have 10lbs left. I’ve been here 6 years and the experts convinced me to try it. It grows real good weed always and no nute deficiency. GH…AN…FF all good nutes but you’re paying for mostly water @Winterwind401
