I’ve gone through a couple and in hydro I’m using GH nutes plus silica, Cal mag and hydroguard. In soil I’m sure others will chime in on the details. ---

The hot ticket right now is Jack’s 3-2-1: it’s attractive for a number of reasons. It’s cheap, _very_ hard to burn plants with it, is used commercially, you only need 3 parts: two from Jack’s plus Epsom Salt. There are a bunch of growers using it. Behind that I recommend good old GH Micro Gro and Bloom. ---

I agree with @Myfriendis410 Jack’s for the same reasons as he mentioned. ---

I’m on the Jack’s hype train too. It’s just too easy. ---

Once you go Jack’s, you never go back. It’s cheap, easy, just about foolproof, and it works great. ---

Jacks has made my life so much easier. And my plants really like it. No issues. No fuss And unbelievably cost effective. I think I paid $66 for part A and $59 for part B. Those would Be 25Lb bags. And maybe a couple buck for a bag of Epsom salts from Walgreens. Someone has done the math and I cant remember what it is but it is 1000s of gallons feed for Pennies on the dollar. I add some real growers recharge and Impello Tribus as well as Silica Blast as I am in ProMix Hp. This is my second grow and so much less stressful. ![20201225_174928](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/f/f/cff703aecb17c373671e196f38aabeda6b650795.jpeg) ![20201225_112414](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/c/b/0cba963bb5a185860a1b922f070ccbe08bae0304.jpeg) ![20201225_112419 (1)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/7/9/879f84c790fb0a97aa71be5e580a6577596741d7.jpeg) ---

Ohh that’s very interesting… On GH it needs, in late veg, checking like 3x in 12 hrs. At least I do to stay on top of it. I could use less drift. 🤔😉😁 ---

Last grow, I ran my grow for 6 weeks, using Jack’s, changing water every two weeks. Because of the silca, the PH would raise for the first 24 hrs but once you get it stabilized, it would remain till the next water change. In flower, the PH seem to drop after 24 hrs. I hope to have it dialed in a little better this time. ---

I have opposite outlook on nutes over simplified leaves room for pushed plants to lack and want what’s not suggested because there’s only 3 parts you can’t raise 1 without raising a bunch of other things … I used General hydro… don’t like it…works …not great… Advanced nutrients… lily better never went down there whole line but I got snatched off AN thank God and got sucked into Emerald harvest ![20190924_164244](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/2/c/2c2d475837c7fa81a2b8136eeabc8858bdd42363.jpeg) ![20190831_125510](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/b/1/b1e29a11c6b544edb28bffbfd366fc310e7a3ac5.jpeg) ![20190831_125516](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/7/e/7e8f0a04d0781af0ec6f0014d605b9fae7ed2731.jpeg) ![2ade32055648701209ccf3a65d2cc8577b4d377b](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/9/1/09155c94defa6de8af7abc6ddd5cc44aabc1e1f2.jpeg) and hydroponic moonshine awesome stuff ---

I’m old and stubborn I guess. I live by the saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. So, I’ll stick with Advanced Nutrients. I learned to grow using AN and they’ve never failed me. Any problems I’ve had weren’t because of nutes but rather light too far, light too close, water too warm, dissolved oxygen too low, etc. Once the roots hit the water I’ll feed 25% for a week then bump up and stay at 50% for the rest of the grow. I’ll make up with nutes or straight RO water depending on the EC. As far as cost goes I found a great web site that runs tons of great deals saving me 50-75%. ---
