It was super simple; Something like 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and shake - whatever ratio it says on the side. It works with all methods of growing. I personally used it with soil and then later with coco.

The general hydroponics brand nutes isn't too hard to follow. The directions are real clear on them and give exact amounts to feed for each stage in the grow cycle. If u have a hydro store near u, then GH 3 part is basically the standard at least around here. If you want to grow seriously then u should really look into some sort of nutrients, be it chemical or organic. The water from your sink can only offer a plant so much. The flora bloom is what a lot of people I know use during flower phase with very positive results. If u aren't using advanced measuring techniques, then half what is recommended on the bottle every other water is probably safe.

General hydro 3 part is actually 3 bottles. Basically so you can follow the different proportions of each through the life cycle of the grow. Florabloom is actually made by General hydroponic. Im sure other brands have a similar type of setup this is just what I know how to use. The bloom is a separate bottle to add during flower. I would call hydro 3 part entry level nutes. Adding the bloom makes it slightly more advanced. But if u were only gonna buy 4 bottles of nutes it should be those 4 or a similar type combination.

Keeping this in mind I think the entire nute marketing thing is a racket. If u look at those bottles 1 gallon 99.98% water for like $30. Though it does last a time, lazy people like me buy it because it's easy. If you are looking for easier there's nothing I can think of that is a comparably complete option that is easier.

Yeah roidrage I like da sou
nd of dat sounds easy to follow
I have another question do u think using diff kind of nutes grows out a strain diff?
Or its all da same wat dey do to da plants?
Like say dis dyna gro nutes will make dat same strain smell n taste diff from general hydroponic 3 part?

I can only comment on what I use which is canna. If ya growing in soil, canna has a terra vega for veg stage and terra flores for flowering. I used ony these on my first ever grow and averaged 3oz of each plant, dead simple but not the best yield. If your wanting more then ya gonna have to look deeper into the chemistry and life cycle of a plant and pander to those needs.

I would recommend looking up the Lucas method. It's essentially using a 1 part bloom during the entire grow. There are many 1 part bloom nutes - floranova being just one of them.

Most grow lines are at least 2 or three part lines; one bottle for veg and one for bloom, or one for veg, one for early bloom, and one for late bloom. Although these are made to be used with other bottled products they can still be used as a stand alone with great results. If you are only buying one bottle make sure it is the bloom bottle and not the veg bottle - bloom nutes will still veg a plant pretty well but veg nutes do not flower plants very well at all.

Basically any 1 part bloom nute will work for you. I like flora nova because it seems to be a more complete 1 part bloom but I'm sure most anything you find at a garden store with bloom on it would work as well.

I mean the plant is the plant, it can grow to a maximum potential. If you are lucky enough to get it 70% on your first grow you are probably doing great. What I like about the GH 3 part is the simplicity of the system, and the balance of nutes. If you use a one part Nute mix, there there is just different concentrations of one particular mix. There's no way to maximize feeding a plant's specific needs during the different parts of it's life cycle. In a perfect world you would just have 1 bottle each for N-P-K as well as a bottle for each of the micro nutes, and a detailed instruction manual on when to add how much. GH 3 part is basically doing that with 3 bottles instead of like 10, creating the right balance of nutes through the entire growth cycle. There is a clear chart on the back of each bottle how much to add for each stage of growth. I found a link to someone who explained it in detail, but even to me it seems more confusing than just looking on the back of the bottles.

And in regard to nutes, using them correctly, will definitely get you a better product than not using anything. However overusing the nutes could be worse than using none. So Like I said before, half strength every other water is a great place to start. This guideline is mainly because alot of soils you're gonna be buying have nutes already in them, and because you probably wont have the equipment to monitor your nutes closely enough to keep from over doing it.

The neem oil I use is from them. I gave their products a quick look. I believe its the same type of idea, except instead of the way GH works with 3 parts in different proportions from each stage, it looks like a different bottle for each stage. Same general idea, I would guess it would go something like this:

Hi-N-Pro 10-5-5 High Nitrogen Formula for Vigorous Growth
for late cuttings/Clones, early veg.

Grow 7-9-5 General Purpose Formula
for Veg

Bloom 3-12-6 Blooming Formula
for flower

I really think its all the same shit, you might even be able to find something out there not branded for Weed that will work and is even cheaper.
