Please define "costs alot." And why do the nutes have to be "dry?"
Thanks ...

I use General Hydroponics 'Flora Series Nutrients' w/Diamond Nectar. Reasonably priced and works great!

Hydro grows use more nutrients then soil grows. It is best to use liquid nutrients. Have you done a soil grow before?

I hope you also invested in a good lighting system... you can have the best of everything, but without sufficient lighting your results will be dissapointing.

Hydro has many advantages, but it is way more touchy. Soil grows are alot more forgiving.

Ok the General Hydroponic dry grow and bloom nuts are pretty cheap around $15 a piece on ebay free shipping.You can also get much better liquid Fox Farm Grow Big and tiger Bloom for few dollars more.Make sure you have your PH pen and ppm meter as these are required for a hydro system.You will also probably need some ph up or ph down depending on the water you use.Chcek ebay for search word "Hydroponics"

What kind of Earth Juice do you have? They are an organic line of hydro nutes and additives.
