I got the trio armor si all of the sweetners diamond nectar kool bloom foralicious plus flora blend rapid start so much stuff. Im kinda new to ferts i was growing outdoor with close to nothing
If it were me, I'd drop all of it except, flora micro and flora bloom. Run it at a 1:2 ratio, micro/bloom. It's all you need.

Or you could just use flora nova bloom.

Or you could just use maxi bloom, if you wanna mix the salt yourself.

Either way, they're all you need. Start to finish.

Save money. All that other shit is just a way to separate you from your cash.

Ultimately, it's up to you though.

Ok wat ur saying seems about right cause whenever i add i ml moreof the flora grow tge tips bend down and some start to hook to the right. When i ease off they go back to normal. I thought green/grow/nitrogen so i be tempted to add more. Im using coco btw and i like armor si. It's the one additives i can actually see working. The branches are rock hard compared to my lasy year grow stems were hollow

Yea drop the grow. It's called the Lucas formula. Look it up on the forum. I use it in dwc, so basically the same as you.

Yea keep the armor si also. It's good stuff. Forget the rest though.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, etc... Feeding the plants the right amount of what it needs is all you need to do. That could come from a dozen bottles or a single bag of dry nutrients. The plant doesn't care. The only noticeable difference is going to be how much you pay.

That G10 Gravitation is basically just kelp and potassium hydroxide. You can get 2 pounds of potassium hydroxide with an NPK of at least 0-0-25 for $15. The G10 is 0-0-0.6 which shows you just how watered down and marked up it is.

Potassium hydroxide is caustic potash aka Lye. It's used for making soap, cleaning drains, and other things and is a very inexpensive ingredient.

Is not potassium hydroxide KOH just classic pH up? What am I missing?

ive since graduated to maxigro and maxibloom with epsom salt. potassium bicarbonate for ph up. $20 in salt goes a long way
