So about to start the next grow and first dwc grow now this guy will be in a 20-30 gallon container in a large tent with a raptor 800w to herself, now with nutes Im usally a fox farm guy, their npk ratios are usually very high, But fox farm line only holds one product "grow big hydro" and then tiger bloom and big bloom, where as botanicare has pureblend pro grow and bloom, cal mag, clearX, sweet berry,liquid karma etc. and its all organic but sadly Im willing to risk more synthetic for higher yeilds but Im a soil guy SO my question to you dwc guys is what have those who have tried both lines and any pros or cons and what do you think I should choose?

I have used the pure blend pro line for years in dwc and aero with great success. i have a very easy to follow recipe that has been refined over many harvests if u would like it. Also use silica blast and aquashield for strong branches and healthy roots. I average about 40oz from 12 plants in rails under a 1k every three weeks.

Whats your mix Ill be using botanicare Pure blend pro grow/bloom, Liquid karma, Cal-mag plus, sweet, clearx, aqua shield and silica blast
 
All you really need in DWC are the base nutrients and a PK booster. I run the new Kind 3 part now with liquid koolbloom and silica, i gotta say, the kind isn't doing much more than when I used just straight floranova bloom, silica, and the koolbloom. You really don't need like 10 different bottles of shit, unless you want to spend money just get a good base nute and a PK booster and silica then move on to buying additives as you actually need them.

In DWC if you burn the roots you are in for disaster, so take it easy on nutrients. The more additives you use, the less base the plants have to work with.

miracle grow . better grow , vigor grow, 6 dollars just as good if not better then any thing out there. only difference in these less costly is . you can actually make a few dollars at the end of harvest ! after you pay your electric soil and nute bill . using the best of the best. very hard to make any cash. unless you have the very best.from seed. every thing I ever post on here is related to hot pepper plants, on every post, no matter what even if I post later or before still hot peppers, and or its total bull shit, lye not true fictional ,

Bs. Using the full botanicare line i average less than $1.25 per dry ounce in nute costs. That is .05% of the price of one ounce.
My recipe is on page 5 of my thread, my 3 stages of flower.
