I watch his videos religiously. Never grown in coco, but will be next go around. Everyone says Dr Earth is the US equivalent of Gaia Green which is only sold in Canada, unless you want to pay ridiculous shipping.

Straight from diy grow to diy bloom. No deficiencies, after mixing Ph is stable @ 5.8- 6.0, no condensates form, no bs. Plant has everything it needs nothing is skimmed or cut down to save a buck. $60 will last a lifetime, no joke.
Grow;
Nitrogen N = 240
Phosphorus P = 80
Potassium K = 179
Magnesium Mg = 120
Calcium Ca= 350
Sulfur S= 93
Iron Fe= 5
Manganese Mn= 2
Boron B = 1
Zinc Zn= .4
Copper Cu= .1
Molbdnum Mo= .09
Bloom;
Nitrogen N = 200
Potassium K = 300
Phosphorus P= 75
Magnesium Mg = 120
Calcium Ca= 350
Sulfur S= 93
Iron Fe= 5
Manganese Mn= 2
Boron B = 1
Zinc Zn= .4
Copper Cu= .1
Molbdnum Mo= .09
Calcium, iron, and magnesium are up a tad because im running with coco/perlite mix.
Substances used for Calculations; "bought on ebay or amazon, all legal"
Calcium Nitrate
Copper Sulfate
Iron DTPA "Chelated @ 10-11%"
Magnesium Sulfate "epson salt"
Manganese Sulfate
Potassium Monobasic Phosphate
Potassium Nitrate "stump remover at lowes"
Sodium Borate "borax"
Sodium Molybdate
Zinc Sulfate

What program are you using to covert the ppms? Have you listed the substances before making the calculation? If not it will error. If you need to exact measurements for half gallon concentrate pm me and ill send it to yea along with some instructions.

Another vote for Canna here, I have used the full line with both DWC and coco with very good results.
I use only the Canna line (coco currently) with only a little extra CalMag + cleated iron to help balance uptake since I am using RO water because the tap water is just to hard at my grow site. I know the price is high compared to a lot of other brands, especially for the Boost, but it is far and above the best line I have used. The line is easy to use, and the feeding schedule is simple and gives very consistent results.
I am on my second coco grow right now and so far it's going very well. I think I like coco better than DWC, so I will probably stick with it for the foreseeable future.
The only critical thing I could say about Canna other than the high price is I seem get slightly lower yields, but I would say that the flavor and aroma is better on the finished product, so I suppose I don't mind losing 5-10% yield for better quality.
I have seen many people suggest using just the A & B then a seemingly random assortment of other products.
While I am sure that many of them get good results with that approach I can't imagine that they are getting better results than just using the whole Canna line. Maybe they save a few bucks, but honestly the Boost is the only thing that's super expensive, and one bottle lasts me for 2 cycles in my 3 x 3 tent with 4 plants that yield between 12-14 ounces of primo flowers. It is money well spent as far as I am concerned since I have never been happier with the quality of my flowers.
Happy growing!

Late to the party but I just figured I would throw in my 2 cents worth.
I personally LOVE the General Hydroponics Flora Trio. This product was developed in 1976. NASA uses it for growing plants in space (not cannabis unfortunately).
I have 30 years of growing under my belt, most all of that with the GH products. I have tried several other options and haven't found anything that works as good as GH for me. I do push things to the limits though.
As a grow consultant I have worked with many clients to improve their quality and/or yields. One thing has proven true, GH never lets me down. In side by sides it performs well in all cases, always at least as good and usually better than whatever they were using before.
So don't let fancy labels and manufacturer claims fool you. Give GH a try and see for yourself, it's good shit.

Maybe I need to get on the hydro train, and do a little side by side comparison with the organic no-till soil I'm messing with now, and some coco with the GH stuff in another pot.
Update:
Well, I just ordered the GH 3 part. If it's good enough for NASA, it's good enough for me.
I've got a couple bricks of coco, so I'll do a test with it and the GH. Am I missing anything Ren? I'm a hydro rookie.
I'll place my bets on Ren's system though. Vegas has the odds at 50-1. That means don't bet on me and my organic soil, lol.

A great NPK ratio is my favorite nute line lol. Seriously though I like and use Canna, it works for me and easy to use. 1 part base veg, 1 part base flower nute. Few additives. Works for me. Here's my plants at day 30 of flower..

That trio is very impressive I used to use it back in the day. I may go back to it.
1 week cured capstone romulan and dosidos. The venom og ended up being fluffy buds so I’m using it for oils and edibles. Going into flower it was already having problems so I expected that. But it looked good before I dried it. Romulan ended up being the highest yielding and most potent. Dosidos close second. The capstone is a sativa and I hate sativas so I could be bias on that. I’ll show pics of my current grow later tonight using vitagrow nutrients.
