Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro vs. K.I.S.S. Method

So from what I've been reading both methods are essentially a one product nute solution for your plants.
I am hoping someone can fill me in on what I don't know or if anyone has any real experience with both products.
From what I understand, Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro's formula is pretty much made for Cannabis it's 9-3-6 + other things.
Where as MaxiBloom has the nutrients that the plants need give or take 5-15-14.

Thanks in advance, I plan on doing Coco Hempy buckets so if you have any advice for either method that would be great. I am honestly surprised K.I.S.S. seems to be as good as Lucas formula even without the extra product.

If you have high alkalinity water Dyna Pro has a big advantage. If you have low alkalinity water Maxi for the win.

The local water report test me its in the range of 57 to 76. and Ph 7.20 to 8.05. So what does that tell us in terms of this?
Does adding Ph down change alkalinity?
I am just learning about this stuff, just a heads up. This whole hydro non easy soil this is a learning experience.

I would go with Maxi up to maybe 100 ppm alkalinity.

FWIW, I've used DynaGro with my hard tap water and my soft RO water, the pH stability is rock solid either way. I have no experience with the Maxi series but have years and years of experience with the Flora Series. Yosemite's first post about low alkalinity and GH matches my experience as the Flora Series in RO was a little more stable than when used with my tap water.

Alkalinity conversations aside, mineral content and NPK ratios should be the motivation behind your purchase as alkalinity in a dirt-like medium is not hard to deal with.

We switched over to Foliage Pro awhile ago. Rock solid at 5.9 everytime. We are in coco. our plants are insanely green and healthy.

We feed it with 1-2ml of CalMag and NOTHING else.

ran into cal- while trying a small sample bottle of foliage pro in coco and RO
I also got a sample of magpro but wasnt using it.
I dont think mp contains any extra cal though

Thinking about running 1/2 tsp Maxibloom and 1/2 tsp Maxigro for my next indoor run with coco. The nutrient profile looks pretty good.

MB: 5-15-14 or 1 tsp/gallon = 66-87-153
MB & MG 7.5-10-14 or 1 tsp/gallon = 99-58-153

Megas, If you're trying to keep things simple and only use one bottle I think you should consider Botanicare's CNS line also. The CNS Bloom for coco/soil nutrient profile looks real good and quite a few folks here are happy with it. Good luck!
