I've been using AN sensi with the hobbyest level additives. I've been using it with decent results but I just hate that there's a million other additives and when I do run into a problem I get confused since my ppm, ph, and environment is good. Don't really mind price if it's only a few bottles that includes all macros/micros

I'm using Sensi A&B, B52, and a Bud booster.
PPM pen, Ph paper and Ph Down.
Tap water @ 325ppm.
1600W HID. (2x600HPS & 1 400w MH).
I highly recommend lots of air in your buckets, my water looks like it's at a hard boil.
Air circulation, lots and lots of air circulation.

Have fun and good luck.

I use straight maxibloom - idk if it can get easier than that. I add silica as a buffer and cal mag if the plants want it.

I wonder how they can get a all in one nutrient mix without binding some of the nutrients together. Kind of like mixing the flora trio before putting it in your system. Have you ever used anything else? I’m just curious.

I sure have. For a while I relied on blue planet’s 3 part (non organic) line with almost all of their supplements.

Yessir!

When I started this garden, it was intentionally done with an idgaf approach as I wanted to see how simple it could be, having had over-complicated every facet of my grows in years past. Lucas is what I wanted to try and Maxibloom is how I wanted to try it. I'd be happy to share with you any details you'd like. Full disclosure, before I switched to tap water, I was adding cal-mag at 1/2 dose. When I cloned my plants, I used cx hydroponics regen-a-root. When I first transplanted, I used regen-a-root. I've since stopped with regen-a-root and am adding like 1/8 dose of cal-mag because I kinda can't believe it either haha. I just began week 3 of flower and the plants are stretching still but looking good - when the lights come on tonight, I'd be happy to snap a pic. I defoliated a couple days ago so they look a little sparse but otherwise healthy.

BTW I'm not advocating anything as best/better/etc - the OP wanted to know simple and IDK that it can get any more simple than this.

This is the site that gave me the idea https://growguru.co.za/blogs/hydroponic/hydroponics-using-lucas-formula although I think 7g is too much, at least it was in my case with my strain and my water. I've found that about 1tsp per gallon of tap water gets me to around 1.8 EC after silica - when the plants were smaller, I diluted a bit more. My system recirculates and right now, the EC has been holding pretty rock steady so I know the plants are taking in what they can with my lighting (280w quantum led)
