What nutes would you suggest a novice like me use? I did stop using purpinator and added rock resonator.
I like dry ferts just much cheaper. Any balanced nutrient will work well. There is really no miracles... thise only exist on the labels. Pretty much any balanced fert works and you need to understand the nutrients you have before adding any additives. Nutrient ratios are extremely important not just the ppm.
Right now im using the mega crop 2 part and adding some mag sulfate to it with massive In flower (minus my idiocy in veg with it lol). Jacks 321 is a good dry fert option.
I think my 22lb bag of mega crop v1 cost me like $40 plus shipping and I still have tons yrs later. Its no longer available. I think jacks is a good one although I have never used it but probably give it a go after I'm finished all this mega crop.
I'd prob say give jacks RO or jacks 321 a go and save yourself a lot of money.
