Best easy nutrients for a hempy bucket?

I'm a newbie with almost zero growing experience.

I want things to be as simple as possible, and have decided on a hempy bucket.

I've been searching up nutrients for days, but it seems like nutrients with hempy lacks info because all the feeding schedules are for soil or traditional DWC/RDWC hydroponics.

So there doesn't seem to be much info.



I want things to be as simple as possible, and I was considering
Dyna-gro Foliage Pro throughout (recommended by Homebrewer)
or
GH Maxibloom throughout (1g~7g from beginning of veg to end of flower)


Dyna-gro is easier for me to get, and cheaper. Despite Homebrewer's recommendations, I see some threads here and there about it being suboptimal compared to Maxibloom.

Which one would you guys suggest, and why? Any other simple and cheap one~two nutrient setups? Thanks.

If your very new I would not advise hempy and would suggest a buffered peat mix like Promix, Sunshine#4 or Berger BM6 for a few reasons.

1. It's buffered, meaning it can take a wider range pH nutrient input. Usually 5pH-7pH is fine for a peat mix, Hempy 5.6pH-6.2Ph.
Often you can go through a whole grow without pHing your feed solution.

2. Much less demanding irrigation. Watering a peat mix can be from once a week to once a day, depending on media volume and plant size.

3. Starting young pants. Young plants in Hempy can be fussy until they hit the rez. Often needing multiple waterings a day or a dripper to start successfully. Start small plants or seeds in a solo cup of peat mix and they do great.

Dry fertilizer will be the most economical.

Ya, it's 3 parts, but is it really that hard to take another minute to scale another two times?
