Nutrients. What’s your opinion?

    Recently been running low on my base nutrients. Been using advanced nutrients Sensei part a + b. I’m looking to either order new nutrients or the same advanced base nutrients. I was wondering if anyone could recommend different nutrients if they ever experienced better ones.

    Any suggestions is great!

    Side note : My setup is a hydroponic dwc.

    Fox farm trio for me, but I started using the Nectar of the Gods bloom nutes because apparently everyone is out of FF in my area and they are having trouble getting it from the factory.

    I started with advanced nutrients. Im not a fan. I switched to jacks 321 hydro and never looked back. Jacks is cheap and extremely well made and is easy to modify for extra cal mag or nitrogen or any tweaks you need to make for the plants needs. On eBay you can find people who divide the big bags of jacks nutes into smaller bags for around 20 or 30 bucks and itll last several grows and youll love it. Its a 3 part dry salt nute line and imo its the easiest and best bang for the buck. If you're unfamiliar with Jacks 321 hydro id recommend going to youtube and looking up Green Genes garden and his beautiful breakdown and explanation of jacks and how it works and what exactly is in the nutrients. Ive used it for 3 years now and have no plans of ever using anything different. I know its called jacks 321 hydro but you can use it on coco dirt or in hydro. Its called 321 hydro cause its totally water soluble and doesnt have to break anything down. Im a huge fan of the nutrient line.

    Nectar of the gods is better than FF imo. Ive used nectar of the gods and its pretty good. Oregon based company of decent people. I still like jacks more than all of the above tho. Simple easy effective.

    Ive used Advanced nutes (for coco and soil), Canna A&B, Fox Farm soluble trio and their liquids too. I recently chose Advanced PH Perfect A&B to be my nutrient of choice.

    I will deff be checking jacks out.

    I used FF trio, I ran into a lot of nitrogen issues I just didn’t like them. (Just my opinion) After that I got advanced nutrients really easy to use. I just don’t trust their “ph perfect formula” I always recheck my ph and it’s always at 4.5

    Ive looked at mega crop and it looks pretty similar to jacks but isnt it a 1 part nutrient? Its an all in one, right? I like jacks cause its a 3 part dry salt that you mix in 2 parts. It allows me to change the calcium and magnesium without raising nitrogen potassium and phosphorus. Ive heard good things about mega crop but i havent tried it. Im a big fan of dry salt nutes tho. Im probably sticking solely with Jacks unless i do organic and then itll be dry amendments and real growers ReCharge. If you ever grow organic, grab some ReCharge. Its a very nice product for organic or coco. I dont recommend putting anything organic in hydro but i have seen people do it. I wont do it but i have seen others who have.
