Recommended dwc nutes?

I have never heard that but who knows. In the decade I have been growing hydro I have always been pleased I run Aqua Flakes A and B, Roots Excellarator, multi zen, bud xl, drip clean , top booster, shooting powder, and Terpinator(not house and garden but def worth it). And my plants love it and I consistently pull a pound minimal per 1000W while only doing 4 plants under 2-1000's of extremely high quality bud
do you not have problems with root excellarator in your dwc system? i used it once and the whole system congealed and clogged up literally within hours. i later found out that it's not compatible with dwc and it's the bubbles that read with it and cause the problem i had?

Yeah you are probably using the gold bottle formula. They stopped making the original formula and started making that kind and it had really bad effects with a lot of hydro systems doing exactly what you described. Probably though about a year ago they came back out with a version of the original formula in the Silver bottle which is what you need to use with hydro . I have had nothing but excellent results since they came back out with the original formula

I started dwc with the gh 3 part liquid but have been using the dry maxi stuff lately. Its much easier to measure and use. It doesn't always fully disolve so I wouldn't try it in earo it might clog up the sprayers.

I've been growing in soil and using the liquid because I was worried the powder might lump together and make some hot spots. Did the maxi work well in soil for you?
 
i'm also using a brand called dutch pro - i'm not sure if you can get it in the usa but you can here in the uk. it's a really clean nutrient which leaves my pots nice a clean but i do use along side it orca which is a liquid version of great white and api sludge cleaner. works well

That flora novas thick AF I've heard right?
Yes, like molasses lol. And for DWC it's probably ok but it's not great for drippers, this I know lol, used it once and never again. It's dirty crap that looks like baby poo, not nice lol. If I was unable to get the no name stuff I use which is as cheap as chips I would use Aqua Flakes, which is a pricey as fuck but works great.

Y'all should just stick with the trio! I'm very curious about using the FloraDuo ssries. I've heard it's canna specific.
using it now for about a year. love it. use it at 1:1 for veg and 1:3 for bloom. the 1:3 comes out to be the Lucas formula. mixes up clear and very pH stable. give it a shot!
