I would like to stay as close to organic as I can.
I have been trying Blue Mountain Organics for about a year now trying almost everything to make them work in pure hydro and doesn't seem to be working so fuck BMO lol

I am thinking Botanicare Pure Blend Pro.
But am I needing to buy every thing in the series?

I think I have about 60 $-100$ to use

That's what I use and it works great. With that budget you won't get far in the Botanicare line. You posted in hydro so I'll assume you're running some sort of hydro setup. Quarts won't go far. As for essentials you'll need the base and Cal-Mag and if you can't control your rez temp HydroGuard.

my favorite veg nute is dyna gro foliage pro. cheap and works really well. i use Lucas formula with GH flora duo nutes for flower.

organics and hydro aren't usually good together.

But hydroguard is great IMO, just way expensive :(. Aqua flakes work very well for me but again on the rich side. I now use a local mix that is a gh knockoff, cheap as chips.

Blue planet nutrients 2 or 3 part... cheaper than general hydros 3 part and better imo... cheaper including shipping as well...

I don't wanna bad mouth advanced and their ph perfect shit but I completely change both my resis every 10 to 14 days and every single time, no matter the formulation, after I mix everything I check my ph and it's between 5.5 and 5.8... from there they don't change from res change to res change unless the plants aren't being fed enough, if I see the ph rising anymore than 0.1-0.2 in a weeks time it means I gotta up the nute levels... once I work it out it's rock steady beginning to end even with a gallon + a day of top off water....

My only knock against bpn is that you gotta buy direct via internet order and if you forget to order when your supposed to, it's a problem... but GH 3 part is a perfect back up in that situation but bpn is cheaper even with shipping and they use no middle men so the pricing stays low... I have nothing but good things to say about them... simple product line, cheap and they offer bloom boosters and all that if you wanna get crazy but you can grow just fine with their 2 or 3 part formulas... I like the simplicity of their line...
