ok so i think im going to give dyna gro a try before advanced nutrients and will be using it in soil. i was told to buy the grow, bloom, pro tct, and mag pro. what is a good mix of nutes starting the second or third week in veg till the 8-11th week in flowering?
Grow, Bloom and Protekt is all you need. In Promix, I haven’t found much use for Magpro as it pretty strong stuff and
IMO is meant for hydroponic growing when using RO.
When you use Protekt and one of their bases in roughly equal amounts, your pH should land in the low 6’s but this is dependent on your water source. Odds are you’ll need slightly less protect than base. Find the ratio that works best for your water.
You should be feeding with Grow a lot more than Bloom during flower as Bloom doesn’t contain enough N to keep your plants green. Bloom is awesome in hydro, not so much in promix. I’ll occasionally give 50/50 mixes of Grow and Bloom during the last half of flower but most of the time I’m feeding with Grow. I do on rare occasions feed with 100% bloom but only when the plants are perfectly green top-to-bottom and it’s later in the flowering period.
Flowering plants really shouldn’t need more than about 1 tsp/gal of each Protekt and a base, cut that in half for veg.
For soil I would suggest Jack's Classic over the Dyna Gro. DG is more suited for hydro.
Even using Jack's, keep the ProTekt. I use that regardless of whatever nute I'm using.
I've used Jack's for close to 40 years, Dyna Gro for a bit over 25, so I'm talking from experience, not what I've heard or read and have used both in soil.
With either one, no other anything is really needed, with the exception of the protekt and that's not really a booster of any sort.

What about cal and mag with jacks? Are you adding lime?
