Best Nutrients for DWC??? My First DWC Grow!

Hey guys I am starting my first DWC grow and i need to know what kind of nutrients and the ratio i should use for them.. I got the basics down for what I need but, i still need to learn the correct lighting to use and the correct nutrients and the amount to use. Have a sour diesel and northern light seeds in germ stage right now, also would possibly like some feedback on good ways to germ as well!! I am tryin to keep this grow pretty budget friendly if possible, but i definitely would like overall feedback on the best ways to DWC and some of the *MUST KNOW* things as well!

Now, when you say best do you mean:

Grows the best plants? As in maximizing production?
- That would depend on knowing your strain. If you are unfamiliar with the strain you're
growing that's a tough one. I'd say H&G Aqua Flakes + Additives. They do a full custom feed chart on their site.

Cheapest? Works really well?
- For that I'd say Lucas Formula with GH FloraMicro/FloraBloom. 8ml/16ml. There's even an add back formula
so you never need to swap a res if you don't want to. I also used 1/4 strength CalMg with that and H202 to maximize
oxgen and sterilize the root zone.

P.S. If you're going to use Lucas, get an RO filter. Also a PH/PPM pen will help IMMENSELY!
With RO water Lucas 8/16 should put you are ~5.2 pH. Watch it trickle up to 6.3 and then use the add-back formula.

ok well i meant does the best yield but at the same time fall into a budget!! And i wanna run 2 5gal buckets with all the basics i just need help on getting the nutes down and possibly how to keep up with the res and all the good stuff!!

Employ the KISS methods whenever possible.

None better than Hydroponic-Research ONE STEP formula

Come by the Stripping Back the BS thread. I ran dwc buckets and discuss pros cons, tips & tricks

I am within 5 days of harvest, so there's a mountain of 411 for you to absorb

Is that the same guys who make the Veg+Bloom? I ran their samples and it did pretty well.

I'm a fan of the GH 3 part myself, wouldn't say that they are the best or anything but they are safe and reliable. =)

Dynagro.good , cheap and easy.

@pet flora can u send me the link in this tread to the thread you are talking about

Thread called Roseman bubbleponics (close to that) got lot of usefull info explained well with pictures.

I have been using the Heavy 16 product and love it, but do know that not every state can get it.
