general hydroponics is a very reliable nutrient company with a solid product at a good price. best bang for the buck hands down...
not saying the otherones arent anygood i just like GH .its easy and effective
 
ive had good luck with gh as well, and ive seen people i know run 8000 watt rooms and its what they used as well. seems to be pretty trusted, however the other brands u name also get good reviews. ive heard the pbp botanicare makes the erb taste better then gh which is interesting. with any of those u will have good fortune if u learn how to use them properly. id look around the forum in various mediums that interest you and see what speaks to your needs and expetations. some are two parts some are one parts, good luck.

i voted canna

i voted canna

i run canna coco, so naturally i use their nutes.
i used GH flora series nutes before this.
both work well, i didnt have any problems with the GH nutes. i just wanted my nutes to match my coco.
i went GH originally to save money, and i am now spending the extra money on the canna nutes... worth it!

Since the nutrient uptake isn't necessarily the same between to strains, a fertilizer will be more or less accurate depending on what and how you grow it.
If I had to choose I'd pick the one with the best Ph buffer for your water source. At the end, the most inaccurate fertilizer mix, is the one that demands to much Ph up or down.

I love GH Flora nutrients and have for years (for cannabis and non-cannabis grows)... Simple, hassle free and easy to tune.
I've heard wonderful things about FloraNova as well and might have to try it for the pH buffers & extras that it has.
Tirs put it best.... GH with Lucas Formula is the easiest way to grow good pot.
 
I love botanicare. Been using it for fuck i don't know 8-10 years.
I just wish the liquid karma was still the same.
They took all my humics/fulvics!
GH works very well and is by far the best for the price.
If people don't like the taste of gh weed they did something wrong.
I have to flush more with GH though.
Lucas formula or flora nova=To easy
the nova is not as clean on your lines or res but 1 bottle-so nice.

i'm old school GH but voted for H&G. i'm rocking them now. my nugs are really nice so i'm on it til i see a reason to kill it with a different nute line. now the other day the reps from GH came into the store i work at and gave me the low down on the new organics line and some other info, so i may do a side by side down the line. i also have a bro from here who rocks botanicare. swears by it.

General Hydroponics makes great nutrients for Professionals and hobbyists who are smart with their money

look up the Lucas Formula if you don't know it

however, they are all good. i have seen AAA quality bud from compost so go figure...

As the poll suggests, everyone has their own opinion on what works best. After trying most of them I switched to canna for a couple reasons. I wanted a good bio line, the canna bioterra is great planting medium charged with nutes to help in transplanting etc, and ph is not an issue with canna, making the application easy as pie. The bottles even make measuring them out easy. Expensive? Yes but at this point I'm going for taste and smell as much as I am for yield, so canna wins hands down IMO. I can smell your jar from across the room and tell you if you use GH or not. Can never get rid of that taste.

GH reliable and cheaper. when you get better, an have more money to spend, and want to try dialing in things better i'd try Canna.

You also didnt say what type of medium/system your using, that could change a few opinions around here on what nutes are better for what medium/sytem....

coco i like botanicare cns-17

soil i like gh at 6/9 and pureblend pro

In hydroton or low pressure aero mister, i Had mix results with canna at first, but those where my noobie errors. cannas expensive, which i ran at first, but then i went to gh as i wasnt doing anything justice by running expensive nutes and had shitty plants, now that im understanding more, i feel i will try canna aqua again.

GH lucas formula modiified like rez or heads. finding 6/12 work well for me under a 1k. 600's 6/9 works well. rocking ebb & flo now with 6/9 or 6/12 and things are wodnerful.

Still use canna pk/13/4,canna's wonderfull rhizotonic at 5mil pergal, and foliar canna bioboost at 10-50 days flower at 40mil per gal.

See what works. Gh is a good all around nute. i like the ability to run the micro/bloom and take away or add n, then change the p k levels when i see fit.
