without using teas?
Those are the cheapest and the best to use.

Are you growing in the ground or containers? If you're growing in the ground you shouldn't need any nutes, dust roots with mycos on transplant and mulch heavily around the base of the plant. Let mother nature do the rest

You don't need teas or bottled nutes so long as you build your soil right. I stopped giving teas when I started mulching. So much easier

Please don't flame me, but no one really answered Lilwatt's question. IF one wanted to go the packaged liquid fertilizer route, which would y'all recommend. Just curious - obviously homegrown teas, mulches, etc. are preferable, but if you're going for the packaged variety, what's best?

I don't think many people here are using bottled nutes, hense no real experience of them, or preference of which is best. It's like asking a teetotaler what his preferred whisky is, he ain't gonna have one.
I've used canna's coco and aqua line of synthetic nutes, both were very good, but very expensive for the full line up, which you do need to get the results. Something like 12 bottles in total from seed to bud. I can't say they're the best because I haven't tried all the others (who has? so can anyone say which is best?). I've seen someone inquiring about their organic(bio) line on another thread and I think you only need the 4 bottles if I remember right, grow,bloom,Rhizo and boost(it could be the enzyme one instead of the rhizo). But the boost is by far the most expensive and the one you will use the most of.
But!!!!!!!!!!!!...........I really couldn't recommend using any bottled nute, the whole point of organics is ditching the need for added liquid nutrients and letting the plant grow naturally with the soil feeding it(there are a few exceptions, eg, silica, fulvic acid. If you're gonna use bottled nutes you may as well go full chem in coco or hydro in my opinion, you'll get better results..........Or make your own FPE and fish hydrolysate, shit, they're so easy to make with a bit of research and very little money. That will piss all over any purchased bottled nute in both budget and quality.
note...........I have tried bottled nutes in soil with poor to average results in yield and quality, with coco/hydro massive growth rates and yield, good solid bud, but with that slight chem tinge, with ROLS good growth rates, good yields(getting better each time as I'm learning), but premium quality dank bud every time (disclaimer......as long as the genetics are right).

not true man, you don't need airstones at all.
get a bucket, fill with water, add kelp, and guano or some other water soluble nutrient and let it sit for like a good 12 hrs, then swirl it up, and pour, you can strain, or not.
An aerated tea will work better because you'll be propagating microbes, but it isn't crucial man.
Those bottles of "organic" nutrients that you are buying aren't aerated at all... same shit
Just sayin.
bag of seabird guano, or alfalfa, bag of kelp meal, and you are golden.
you're paying for water and nutrients anyways, so cut the middle guy out, and save you packing in bottles

Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful answer. I'm a believer in DIY nutes, but my growing partner is intimidated about trying anything that doesn't come in a package.
