those look like tiny bottles. it looks like a horrible deal and probably not the best nutes. they are made for growing herbs in the little aerogarden. try maxibloom (MB) for the best value. search it here too. you will find a lot of peeps who praise it for how well it works and it's cheapness. also you aren't paying to ship liquid around, as MB is a powder you rehydrate prior to use.

Never heard of them. I am growing my first DWC grow and have been getting great results with floranova grow for veg and maxibloom for flower so far.

Google "Lucas Formula". Super cheap and effective. When you get the hang of it, you can go and try all the fancy stuff, but more than likely you will come back to the lucas formula.

Well, here you go http://lucasformula.com/

lucas formula is a lot of extra work. the only HUGE plus I find is that it's already PH balanced.

Maxibllom is highly acidic. bitch to keep raising the PH after putting this in there. but it's dirt cheap. really strong stuff - powder not diluted.

Also cheap enough to dump nutes and refill every 2 weeks.

Lucas formual covers GH Micro and Grow, Flora Nova Bloom, and maxibloom. I have used quite a few different brands of nutrients, including making my own compost teas and guano teas, and the lucas formula with any one of those nutrients is easier than anything else I have ever used or heard of. How is it a bitch? With the lucas formula you want a ph of 5.8.

I would really like to see a simpler method with cheaper nutes.

BongripkenJR how do you like the lucas formula vs making your own compost and huano teas? As far as quality goes

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

I only use compost and guano teas in soil plants. Anything that is coco or hydro gets chemy stuff. The quality of plants grown organically with teas is much better than chemy bud. Its much easier to get that deep rich flavor that tastes good all the way down to the roach or to the cache rip of a bowl. Even if the organic bud has less trichrome development I find it way more pleasurable. Hydro will get you some great bag appeal though and almost seems easier to sell based on that fact. Every way of growing has its up sides and down sides. Now we are seeing people getting amazing yields with organic soil though and that is something I have yet to dial in completely, but I haven't spent enough time on organic indoor to do that. My outdoor is what gets the organic treatment. Organics will also make outdoor plants stronger and more resistant to diseases and pests.
