I'm not brave enough to do hydro grow yet ! So I will be using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil only because I have it already. I have to reuse my old soil. BTW do I need to flush out the old nuts from last use and if I do how do I do this ? And then add worm castings back to it correct or can I just use the Earth Dust stuff numb is talking about to revive the soil ? I'm a little on the fence about Jack's but I haven't used it. I was told it can make the buds taste like crap. But anything can if you don't flush it. Last grow I was helping some people and they grew a strain called WhiteGold and after curing it, smells like someone dumped there starbucks coffee into the buds hits harsh as hell too and they used AN line. Supposed to be the best nuts I guess for the price I think the plants should blow yer head off when you smoke but that strain wont lol the GG 4 I got will and it was grown with AN also but no coffee taste.

flushing does NOTHING!
i lower my nutrients till the end but no flushing, and my weed is as smooth as silk.,
over doing it with nutrients and not drying and curing properly is what creates the bad taste/coughing.. etc.,
jacks is a good nutrient..

I’ll add to this - fewer bottles is easier for a new guy , a balanced nutrient line can be easy- for instance I’ve used pure blend pro grow for the whole cycle with good success and super easy

This brand or that brand... It's 99% the same no matter which brand you choose.
I suggest not mixing brands. Because of the different mixes they use, you can over feed or under feed without knowing it.

Your poll asked which nute company is the best. I said none of them because I don't use them.
What I posted above uses no bottled nutes. That particular soil combination has been tested (by me) and I know it works.
All we do is water pretty much. The amendments we use are there to speed up the breakdown of the soil so that the plant can grow a bit faster. We run a 4 month schedule seed to harvest, and this mix gives us excellent plants with double the potency (smoke tested only) of the disp.

Never said it was bad Jacks i mean just stated what I was told. I have looked at the pictures of the plants that are posted here and the ones with jack's look nice as Fu$k. Lovely sugar crystals and healthy looking. Like I said I'm new to this and love to learn things so I can try to be or do my best at it. " If you do something be the best, or beat the best with a bat to be" So don't take offence to the comment about Jack's LOL. It seems to me that most of the people on here that have GROWS under there belt do use Jack's or Fox Farms. But like I said I want to see what will work best for me and where I live. It gets hot as hell here in summer and the wind will toss a dam car in winter, cannot grow outside in winter here. The plants will blow clean to Vegas. And with my greenhouse cannot run a electric heater in it to warm plants I use a generator for power to it so it is limited big time. I'm looking for good grow decent size buds and a good yield , Trying to keep it simple for the other half of me so she can take over when I have to go on the road. After I figure out the Nuts I want for a sizeable grow all of the watering and lighting will be on timers. So only need to mix nuts in water tank.
