Read the MaxiBloom threads...So, mainly my question here is... are all these nutes I am using complete overkill? Can I get the same results using a simple NPK nute program like 20-20-20 with maybe some Cal Mag (I use an RO system now) and Sweet added? Has anyone out there run side by side comparisons?

No... they have a cheap dimmer switch for room lights for $4.... definitely NOT a triac."$20 triac motor speed controls ($4 at HD), etc..." Home Depot has these for $4?

Stay Safe! (that includes electrical safety)
I have recently discovered that the local greenhouse has everything one needs for a fraction of the price...bought 2 kilos 0-15-1 gaia green bat guano for $25 at the hydro store,bought 10 kilos of the exact same product at the greenhouse for,wait for it...$35.That really put things into perspective for me,that yes,hydro stores are a rip off when it comes to implementing a soil garden(organic or otherwise),but where the fuck else are you gonna go to buy a flood table, HID lights and salt based nutes for a hydro setup?I guess they are a necessary evil for all hydro growers.
no
a buddy of mine is a commercial grower always getting a about 0.8/0.9 g/watt with the same strain always(a white strain)
For years he has used liquid nutes , then years ago he quit and started using dried npk pellets and plain water
Now in his current run , he used liquid nutes again, bloom , pk13/14 booster etc but there is absolutely no difference , in fact , his buds are even smaller then normal , he is going back to topdressing with dried shit next run , less work , good result
So yes you can get the same yields without a whole list of products , it is just marketing
