New at Hydroponics: What Nutrients Should I Use?

i just started useing hydropics and i what to know what dry nutrient i can use that does not cost a lot can anyone help

Please define "costs alot." And why do the nutes have to be "dry?"
Thanks ...

Vi

i was told the dry did not cost as much i don't have much to spend on nutes i put all my money in to the hydro and seeds

I use General Hydroponics 'Flora Series Nutrients' w/Diamond Nectar. Reasonably priced and works great!

Hydro grows use more nutrients then soil grows. It is best to use liquid nutrients. Have you done a soil grow before?

yes a little but everyone has told me to go to hydro that it is better so i thought i would give it a try

I hope you also invested in a good lighting system... you can have the best of everything, but without sufficient lighting your results will be dissapointing.

Hydro has many advantages, but it is way more touchy. Soil grows are alot more forgiving.

yes 1000 watt high pressure sodium

Ok the General Hydroponic dry grow and bloom nuts are pretty cheap around $15 a piece on ebay free shipping.You can also get much better liquid Fox Farm Grow Big and tiger Bloom for few dollars more.Make sure you have your PH pen and ppm meter as these are required for a hydro system.You will also probably need some ph up or ph down depending on the water you use.Chcek ebay for search word "Hydroponics"

i payed a lot for my set up i just what to make sure i get the nutes right

well thanks for the help i will look it up on ebay i hope to start in the next week or so i'm sure i will be back to ask more thanks a lot any other tip would help

i would go with the fox farm series.

grow big
big bloom
tiger bloom

a freind give me some free nutes thats called earth juice is it any good i bought some fox farms but if i can use the earth juice that would be great to

What kind of Earth Juice do you have? They are an organic line of hydro nutes and additives.
