I like advanced. It's over hyped but really does produce. I've had great success with multiple nute brands. General hydroponics 3part, advanced connoisseur, advanced 3part ph perfect, and floranova bloom. As far as boosters I like b52 from advanced for multiple reasons it basically helps with stress, bud candy from advanced nutrients for flower as a sweetener and finisher. I really try to keep it simple and try not to use too many additives. Less is more, is my approach.
