learn to measure nutes by ppm and not volume. try house and garden 2 part. they make a nuts for soil and hydro. keep it simple, you can start adding additional supplements when you get a few grows under your belt and understand nutes better.

Read up on the lucas formula. That will teach you how to look for nutrients. Lucas uses General Hydroponics because their cheap and widely available. However he skips the Grow, and only uses the Micro and Bloom. Sounds crazy, but once you understand what plants actually need you quickly learn that brands and popular trends don't mean shit. Its all about NPK and Micro nutrients in the proper ratios at the proper times.

Powders chemicals like Maxibloom are the cheapest way to go, but you can do pretty good with organics too. Alaska Fish Emulsion (5-1-1) and Alaska MorBloom (0-10-10) is only $5 and $10 dollars per bottle and can easily last you a couple of seasons for a personal grow.

do you use this and happend to have pictures of any of your finished product? and do you keep it at 1 tsp for the whole flowering stage?

I do not have any current photos of my grow, but like Vindicated said, do a seach on lucas formula, google the keep it simple stoner or KISS method. Many perople are using coco coir and straight maxibloom measured at 7 grams per gallon with incredible results. I do this as well as use the GH FloraNova series which I find is better with RO water. Used in the recommended doses there are quite a few base formulas that will work with the lucas formula.
