Looking for best quality - not yields.
Can someone recommend nutrients for NFT?

I have used it since 1989.
Thing you have to realize about nutrients, they all provide the same stuff, maybe in different balances. There is no magic bottle or super sauce. Just provide the proper elements in the proper balance and let the plant do the rest.
The three part does give good flexibility for changing ratios as you see fit. As I remember it was developed in the 70's for NASA.
Whatever you do, don't fall for the fancy packaging.
You can grow great weed with a very simple nutrient regimen, it's all about genetics.
I have recently started playing around with Chem Grow 4-20-39 formula, it's a dry salt mix where you use epsom salt, calcium nitrate and monopotassium phosphate to make your mix. It's more work, a lot cheaper and I am still deciding how much I like it but it is a big savings over any bottled nutrient where you pay for water. The GH is my long time go to, if I wanna make a bad ass crop I know I can do it with that. Anything else is a little bit of a learning curve but I do believe that most any quality nutrient system can grow great weed provided you use it correctly so I say get one product and stick with it until you get a good feel for it. Constantly changing nutrient lineups looking for some sorta magic formula is detrimental and leads to a bunch of money wasted.
So if you are looking for a very cheap and effective option, consider a dry salt regimen, the Chem Grow, Jacks, Megacrop... They are more work but once you figure it all out you can grow great weed. If you want very effective bottled nutrients, GH Flora three part is where I would go. Paying extra for a fancy label isn't going to grow better weed.
Genetics is the area you want to spend the money. You can grow better weed with killer genetics and miracle grow than you can with shit genetics and the most expensive 32 bottle line of nutrients.
