i would suggest bio bizz range for your soil grow. if its your first time then just buy the minimum; a nute for vegging, i use the bio grow and a nute for flowering ,bio-bloom. it costs me roughly £10 for a litre so i suppose that would be around $18 for just under 2 pints. when i start my nutes( which is quite late in vegging becoz i use miracle gro soil that has nutes already in it) i start with 1ml per litre and i increase it by a further 1ml each weekuntil a maximum of 4ml per litre. i do the same with the flowering nutrient but when i get to the max(4ml per litre) i begin to reduce it 1ml per week until on my last week of flower i dont give any food just water. the biobizz range is a good easy to use organic nutrient ata decent price. when u get more experience then u can go and buy fancier and more complicated stuff but for now i'd just start at the easiest point

that was some good input! if your not going to give me info then don't post... and so far ive gotten much more information off of this website then anywhere else which is why I have 4 different setups going, and I chose my nutrient, which is far better then where I was before this. Im utilizing the growers who have been doing it for years so that I can have a detailed idea of how to be successful myself.
Now id politely like to ask to stay off of this thread
. happy smokin'

Wow, sure a lot of sphincters replying to you. I wish I could say that surprised me.
I'd caution you not to listen to any one person too closely. As you learn more you'll realize that claims about what brand "college educated" people use are ridiculous, particularly considering that virtually every commercial brand is designed by people with at least one degree in the field.
In soil you can use just about anything. If they've got the natural microbial environment any fertilizer that has the right nutrient balance will work. In hydroponics there isn't a soil web to convert unavailable sources of nutrients into available ones, so everything in the fertilizer must be in an available format (which is one of the reasons why those ferts generally cost more). You also have concerns about solubility with hydroponics - better solubility means less cleaning, clogging, etc.
I use Advanced Nutrients. Now undoubtedly you'll get a whole bunch of guys in here to tell you not to do that because it costs a lot. Whatever, make up your own mind on that. You won't hurt my feelings (or anyone else's, I imagine) if you don't like the price. I only bring it up because you mentioned aeroponics, and that's where things like solubility are most important. And the price is really only a major issue if you buy everything they make (which you shouldn't) and don't get good results (which you should).
On the hydroponics side of things, regardless of brand, get a base nutrient and a PK booster or two (I recommend Big Bud, everyone has a favorite). Don't make it more complicated than that. Whatever you use start it at a low dose (1/3 or 1/2 what the bottle says to mix it at) and dial up slowly as the plants get bigger. Watch the leaf tips for burning. If that happens you're too strong on the nutes and need to dial back.
