Gonna get all the minerals(salts) needed, what are they? Got a site with alot of dry stuff but I'm pretty clueless. Btw not necessarily just salts, whatever I would need in my coco coir for the best outcome with least nonsense.

Edit: I'm not only looking for dry minerals, but a awesome full package.

or Jack's + cal nit+ epsom salt

I did come over some info that says cal nit is the only calcium source for hydro. True?
But I don't want any premixes for cannabis I want stuff like cal nit, fulvic acid, humic acid, epsom, Ag sil, MAP, MKP, etc etc.
To me when I read on these products, they all seem great. Idon't know chemistry(is that even what this is..?) at all but I noticed some of the salts combined would make the NER fucked up. Guessing some should not be mixed of other reasons as well, but again - no clue.

You're best getting a premixed micronutrient blend like Jacks 5-12-26 and adding calcium nitrate for now. Then spend some time learning about fertilizers and what's in them. You're going to need a basic understanding of plant nutrition and what each of the salts provides. Until then stay with something already mixed that contains everything. It's not all that complicated but it's nothing to jump into blind.

Good luck.

Were looking for a microblend and came across Ascophyllum nodosum (seaweed) consentrate in water soluble form. Yes or no with mineral based feed?
Does it smell?

Something like Jack's 5-12-26 already has micronutrients in it. Kelp and other organic based products can leave shit in your reservoir it's doable but just needs more maintenance.

Don't mind spending weeks researching stuff if the end game is less hassle, u know? I need to be pointed in the right direction though!

Easy can be alot of things for different people. More control will be more work but less draining at the same time, if it makes troubleshooting easier and/or give me a better understanding so I can be more confident in decisions and let my head rest.

Know I'm green on the subject, but like to dive in with all I got and let it become my world until Its known.
Though I hear ur wisdom, and will adjust my route.

On one of the 7 plants, I will experiment with dry mineral blend that got micros in it, other minerals, and whatever else u guys think is needed for optimal growth(sil, fulvic, etc etc). Mistakes will be done and lessons learned.

Anyone out there who know everything u need, with no bullshit? Lets get real

Wow is this hard :D

I'm simply looking for someone with experience enough with salts and things to add to the solution to make a beast of a nutrition mix. I wanna copy that mix.

You tube harley smith npk. I have been meaning to watch it myself but just so damn busy so I keep buying bottles nutes, they are predictable and the same every time and Ive been using so long that part has become easier and afraid to change it while still dialing in new rooms.

Yeah dude I am! It's just in my nature, so need help :'D
think keywords here are "a good grower" can grow with just about any nutrient. We all know putting me in that category would be a horrible mistake.
