What kind of nutrients is everyone using?

Nectar for the God's. I'm using the entire line except for maybe 2 bottles. There's something like 18 bottles total for the entire line. Definitely not a beginner's nutrient line, it's one of the few lines where you constantly have to check your plants' pH levels. I mention this because I've seen countless people on this site who say you never have to check pH levels when growing in soil, but for NFTG it's critical.
That being said, it can really produce some magic if you know what you're doing.

So 16 bottles? Why? sounds like a hassle. People have been growing in soil for decades without checking pH. Checking soil pH is a relatively new fad. It used to be just the hydro growers. I never check soil pH when growing in soil but then again I'm not dumping 16 bottles of stuff into it either.

I started this a while back with the MC original formula, found out very quickly this stuff is POTENT....
What strength of g/gal do you use for your soils?

Topic at hand:
GH Maxibloom
Epsom salt
Calcium Nitrate
Megacrop (original mix)
GH powder pH UP
GH liquid pH down
Dr. Earth Root Zone liquid
Alaska Fish 5-1-1
Alaska Fish 0-10-10

what ever is cheap as all base nutrients contains the same stuff well most do . ive run super expensive lines of products and i get the same results using the cheap stuff only differences i find is my wallet is heavier but hay some growers just don't like having a heavy wallet
I agree, ITS ALL SALTS. No one has any special salts that no one else has discovered.
One of my best DWC runs was from some blue salt fert I got on ebay :)

I start kinda light 3 grams cuz I run pretty charged mixes ... and sometimes just Foliar with it.
But normally 3 - 5 grams thru run.

Heres some numbers I have in my notes:

Megacrop. 1g a gallon is ~150ppm
Epsom. 1g a gallon is ~100ppm
MKP. 1g a gallon is ~65ppm

I see that you keep using calcium nitrate into bloom. That's good. Plants still need nitrogen during flower. I take it that MasterBlend is a mix of micronutrients? Additional MKP in flower. That's close to what I'm doing.

Master blend is a complete base minus the cal and mag. Though I believe it does have a small amount of cal. I do increase my mag in flower. But the base and calnit stays the same from start to finish.
