Help me get a good nute lineup... please!

Hey everyone... I have been receiving such good help so far that I really wanted to get some advice so I can get these ladies on track.

I am in day 21 of 12/12 on 5 plants. Not sure of the strains because my bro mixed the clones up before he gave em to me... but supposedly I have 2 white rhino, 2 Arjan's haze, and 1 LSD.

They are all starting to bud nicely and the tops look very pretty and are needing to be tied every which way every couple days.

The bottoms however are mostly yellow and the big leaves are dying and falling off. From what I've read and seen, it looks like an N deficiency. Probably from my fear of giving them full strength nutes. I always give them about half of what it calls for because I don't want to burn them.

My second question that I've been doing a lot of reading about and seen many different answers is what is going to be best to use from now on.

RIght now I have the Fox Farm Soil trio which it looks like this will be the last time I use it because I am going to DWC for my next grow.

I stopped at the store while I was in Denver (we dont have any here) and he recommended the Botanicare line, so I bought some Pure Blend Pro. Didn't buy any flowering nutes yet because I only had so much money on me, and I wouldn't be needing them for a while anyway.

So...

1. What should I get and add to my current girls to fix them up?

2. What should I add to the PBP from start to finish in DWC? Or should I go with a different line altogether? I only bought a small bottle so if I ditched it for something else, it wouldn't be the end of the world. He just said it was good for beginners and pretty forgiving without compromising quality.

If anyone has a great fool proof nute line from start to finish for DWC, I would love to see it! Nutes, additives, whatever you love to use! Luckily, the online store I order from has GREAT customer service and are only a state away from me, so their standard UPS gets to me next day every time... so I can get what I need pretty quick... I just need the help from you guys!

Thanks everyone!!!

i use advanced nutes bud candy, bud factor x and big bud. they have a ph buffer that auto adjusts ph to a safe range. and have a solid ppm as long as we measure right.

For a starter DWC kit I reccomend the technaflora recipe for sucess kit to my patients. Its a starter kit for hydro essentially, and has clone gel, root 66,sugar daddy,magical,thrive alive b1 red and green, bc boost, bc grow, bc bloom a qt of each, enough for 1-2 grows and enough shit to get sweet resinous nugs with the recipe to boot, and all that for 30 bills, its ridonkulous! No one makes a better starter thus Ive seen. And the nutes can be used for soil too, even foliar feed spray.

So you think that's better than buying the rest of the Botanicare line? I know they have Liquid Karma and some things that look like they would be comparable to the sugar daddy stuff.

how often do you water?when in flower the plants have a higher thirst level....

Usually every other day if the pots feel light, or every third day at the longest. I just cant tell if the dying bottom leaves are from not enough nutes or too many. The price of being a newb I guess.

If you dont mind spending a little extra, Advanced Nutrients is the way to go.

yea and if u dont mind smoking SYNTHETIC Phosphorous also. i like my brain and lungs. look into humboldt nutrients, all natural products.

i used fox farms in my DWC grow and it werked fine, but along side of humboldt nutrients HONEY hydro, duece duece, and bonticares CAL-MAG plus, witch i HAD to buy to fix the problem that fox farms created...MAG deff...and ATAMIs BLOOMbastic to. heres a pik of right before chop....

Organics and all naturals are the way to go. I Agree with Fuzz smoking chemicals and chemical taste in my bud is not appealing. I can always taste the difference between a over chemically hydro setup and an all natural organic grow. Some bottom leaves will fall off during the growing process. The plant is good at getting rid of excess and useless leaves. Your plants look very healthy to me. Watch the stems, if they are turning a reddish color that is another sign of nutrient def. If they are green your probably doing good on your nitrogen level. Watch the veins and color of the upper leaves as well if there is a lack of nutrients it will spread faster day by day and the other leaves will show signs. Hope this helps and can't wait to see what you get. Good luck and happy growing!
