Best "cheap" nutes?

Hey all.
I need cheap nutes, and will be buying online. This is my 1st hydro grow, so I'd like some sort of all in one type of thing. I'm not expecting pounds of bud. As long as my ladies don't die i'll be happy. I'm planning on white widow and aurora indica. I'm a little overwhelmed by all the nute choices. Any suggestions?

DynaGrow has decent (not cheap) prices in my experience.

I've seen a few people mention dyna-grow they have veg and flower with the micros already mixed in

yup, dynagrow is also a stronger mix so you use less

I can grow a plant for less than 50 cents in dirt with dynagro and when using them for 9 weeks in my 15 gallon res, they run about $10 depending on the strain. Cheap doesn't mean you're sacrificing quality either. I'm growing some of the best product that I've ever grown and getting slightly better yields too.

Dynagrow seems to be the ticket. But I'd really like to find someone who bought some cheap hydro nutes and it killed their plants straight dead - both bottles containing the same part, bits of precipitated calcium collected on the bottom, all the dog hairs in the sauce clogged the pumps, the nutrients were actually bleach, stories like that.

I mean, they'd have to be some pretty crappily made nutrients to not work, right?

I don't have any experience with dynagrow but, have a fair amount of experience with the GH Maxi series. These are really pretty cheap and easy, good luck!

you can get chemicals that come in parts, like calcium nitrate, potassium phosphate potassium nitrate magnesium sulfate trace element mix etc... you might have a local nursery supply you with like a cupful or each element you need for so cheap and it's a very effective fert. i chose to buy them in big bags 25Kg each that is more than 100Kgs lifetime supply for like 150$

The GH 3 part is relatively cheap, I'd recommend checking out the lucas formula, you only need the micro and bloom.

I think you meant to say so you don't have crazy off the wall PH levels, right? When I used to use the three part, if mixed correctly it would always end up around 5.8

I'm a fan of GH but their 3 part isn't that stable. In a typical week, I'll adjust the pH 3-4 times as the pH tends to rise.

took the words right outta my mouth.

+1 dynagrow

i never used csn17 but know a few dudes on other forums that love it.

i do, however, use other botanicare products so they get a +1

i even use quickgro (ebay) for my mother plants. cheap & works.

using foxfarm big grow in my rezzy now... i adjust the ph every two days.

got dynagrow in my flower rez perfect ph for days now.

GH Maxi series dry nutes work great, and are cheap.

Dyna-Gro is the best bang for the buck.
I use the flower, along with Verde from Humboldt Nutrients.
Nothing but green pastures and serious trichomes over here.

I have only used Botanicare, first grow was "Pure Blend Pro" in soil.... some plants sucked and others like matanuska were the most citrus tasting thing I have done to date.

After a couple years of grows now I use CNS17 with the GH water farm and I love it. REAL CHEAP too with great results, nice taste and trichy trichy trichomes are thick. I would certainly love to try a 2 part, but the ease, cheapness, and results are workin great for me.
