nutrient advice

hi, ive always used blue planet nutrients 2 part or three part nutrients they sell, im looking to venture into other companys,, but they all seem expensive compared to blues nutes, can anyone tell me some other companys, that have decent priced 2 part products? with good results? thanks oh looking for gallons not quarts

If hydro, have you considered making your own using hydrobuddy? If you post to the nutrients forum you can get some tips about where to buy raw ingredients and how to make stock solutions.

If soil, there's Jack's Classic or Grow More Sea Grow. (They both have hydro products too, but I'm not familiar with them. I'm aware of a schedule for Grow More hydro. It's at the end of that page.). Extremely inexpensive.

DynaGro

Why change if it is working for you? I doubt changing will help you.

I was the same way. I used GH 3-part in soilless and soil. It worked well (although not ideal for soil). I kept reading about people using inexpensive nutes. I questioned why I would change when I found something that worked. But, I was tired of the expense. I switched to Grow More Sea Grow (for soil) and it's been great.[1] All I had to do was find the NPK ratios I was feeding with GH 3-part and try to stay in the same area with Sea Grow. $20 bought me enough nutrients to grow 50 plants. I was spending that much on just one plant with GH.

For me the key was getting past "5ml of this bottle, 10ml of that bottle" and understanding the NPK ratio which resulted from all those bottles. I made this spreadsheet to do that. Enter what you feed, see the NPK ratio for various stages of growth, then play with other products to get similar ratios. Doing this, I think MiracleGro would work fine.

Like you said, nobody knows till they try.

I second that Grow More!
I'm using this with my 50/50 Happy Frog and Ocean Forest mix.
