I use mega crop with some cal mag. For pk I add some monopotassium phosphate. Or just grab a pk booster if ya like. I find it helps but it's a personal choice as far as I'm concerned. There is a bit more to what I do but that's the simple easy effective version. Mega crop and cal mag if using RO and led...doneOk, I am new here and new to growing. I have the following items and researching which nutes I want to grow with. I am doing 3 5 gallon dwc in a 2x4 tent. I think I have sourced everything to do a start to finish grow in a 1 light setup. Do you see anything I may have overlooked from the list below?
2x4 Gorilla Grow Tent (2' x 4' x 6'11")
Timber 4VL 425w Vero29 gen7 3500k
AC Infinity Cloudline T4 inline fan
Phresh Filter 701003 4x12 200cfm
3 dwc 5 gallon black buckets with 6" baskets
EcoPlus 793 3000 LPH 18w
Vivosun 4x2 air stones
Mechanical timer
What is a good, first time grower nutrient line to use? I want simple 2-3 ingredients.
For simplicity the Botanicare pure blend pro line are good. It’s a one part grow and a one part bloom, plus their cal-mag is a good product. This would allow for a single part bloom booster giving you a total of 3 bottle so needed when in bloom. You could also use the Current Culture line of nutrients which are ideal in DWC and RDWC systems. They do use a two part growmand bloom however.
Also I noticed you don’t have a fan moving air within the tent. Make sure you have a small (6”-8”) clip fan to keep air moving within the tent.

The small fans will be added soon. Going to pick up maybe 2 for a 2x4 space?
I went with the Fox Farm 3 bottle for hydro since I see a lot of folks using it and there is a ton of information on it. I was going to go with General Hydroponics, but was informed they were bought out by Monsanto, so I declined.
Also grabbed a ph and pm tester. My tap water ph is at 7 and my ppm was at 107, so I grabbed some ph up and down solution.
I am going to do a test run with some bag seed from some decent smoke I had, but really want to get some premium seeds for my 2nd run if anyone wants to help out? :) I am going to Colorado in September, so hopefully I can get some seeds while there.
Thanks for the information, but I already have the fox farm nutes. The only reason I went with them is that I've seen so many people use them, so I assumed more information on using them would be available. I have watched several grow journals with fox farms in a dwc setup and they seemed to do the trick.
Either way, I am germinating the seeds at the moment. These are bag seeds, so this is going to be a trial run. I can't return the nutes, so this will have to do.
There is soooooo much conflicting information about which nutes to use, so it's a bit overwhelming for a newbie. lol
