Fox farm, flora series, or Humboldt secrets?

Wondering which is the best? I’m growing in fox farm soil. And they are all around the same price, as well as similar feeding schedules.

From what I’m reading, everyone uses GH flora series for decades, fox farm is good but can easily burn your plants (this would happen to a new grower like myself), and Humboldt secrets golden tree mixed with part A & B hasn’t had a bad review yet, however there are only like 10 reviews. Let me know what you think!

Using the flora series now in my DWC pretty easy regimen! There are a lot of optional add-ons to get, but I really like them so far!
I could see it getting pretty pricey with a bigger grow op though!

I cant say anything for the others. But I had 0 issues with flora series. Was definitely easy and affordable. As well as kept plants happy ...I had recently switched to their organic line but will definitely be back on flora series next run. The smell of these organics is unbearable lol

Looks like I’m going with the flora series, if I was more experienced I’d consider testing out fox farm. Unfortunately this is my first grow, and I hear flora series leaves more room for error.

Yup id try the flora series if you arw new to growing, look up the lucas formula, he uses flora 3 part but only the bloom and micro at a 16ml:8ml/gallon of water bloom:micro ratio eliminating the need for the grow part and about $30 or so depending on where you get your gallon jug from. This is a very simple user friendly nutrient program and the lucas formula makes it even easier to mix and use. Another alternative is the one part maxibloom program that some people use, this may be an easier regime to follow as its one part the entire grow. Anyways hope this helps, flora is your easiest approach though imo. Then when you are done with the salt bottles and you wanna really have fun switch to organic feeding :) have fun, enjoy growing the herb and good luck

What the difference from mc 2 part vs Jack 321? Currently using jack 321 for veg going flip to flower soon. I heard jack 321 is high in N so I'm looking for another nutrients for bloom in coco

With Jacks 5-12-26 or Megacrop 2part, you are in control of the N ratio.
Part-A is the base.
Part-B is calnit. Less part B = lower N.

Jacks has different feed charts.
Simple to advanced.

New grower here, I know this is old but I’m wondering if people still feel the same way about fox farm nutes? I have and use them, plants seem to be doing great! Using just the trio plus calmag and kelp & fish/molasses.
Idk what it is, but I feel like I could get something better, the Humboldt Secret lineup and the Dutch Master lineup has been catching my eye, I don’t think I’ve seen a negative review for either one yet. While people say FF can easily burn your plants, I never ran into that issues so I found it very simple to use...but I digress lol I’m mainly in here asking if anyone has used Humboldts lineup or Dutch Masters lineup?

I am using Fox Farm and following their schedule you WILL over feed your plants. I’m having to adjust the nutes mid flower and should have be scaling back all through Veg. So much dark green! And as soon as I am finished with the FF I will probably be switching to flora. I really haven’t heard anything bad about them.

Yeah I don’t follow their schedule, I use either 1/4, 1/3, or at the most 1/2 strength to what they recommend lol

Yea rookie mistake on my part. This is my first plant getting this far into flower so I thought “just follow their schedule, especially cause I planted in their soil”. WRONG! I will definitely go half strength the whole way next time. I’m about to start an auto grow so they may just get 1/3.
