For most of my gardening life, I’ve used liquid hydroponic fertilizers and nutrients. But I’ve recently switched over to dry nutrients, so let’s take a look at the pros and cons of both of these types of hydroponic nutrients.

Powered is better always
Just a small query to all green thumbs, HID,s or LED,s,??
I know, I know i hear the cannibis cops,!! LED Cheapest blah, blah,..but i still prefer my 600 MH/HPS systems,! It’s what i learnt on, ain’t broke don’t fix et al,.. my digital adjust a watt still gives me huge results, ain’t got the grm per watt ive been striving for, but at 0.75 of quality dry, cured product,! I know HID lamps are pricier, but i started with the ol skool magnetic ballasts, but the digital adjust a watt is a superior bit kit, 600 W bulbs running at 250, 400, 600 then overdrive,..660 W, where n when required, in conjunction with the Flexi wing reflector its the business,! Now with LED, HID,s are cheaper than a quarter of quality bud,!!
My last 600 complete set up cost bout £60,.. Omega digital ballast, Flexi reflector, Omega 600 MH, Omega 600 HPS with light spreader/diffuser, plug n grow heavy duty timer and rope ratchets,!! What a steal, last time this was way into the £280 mark, the ballast alone was £150,
How much $
I switched to dry too, It is 1/10th the price. I find with GH liquid I was always trying to use less since its expensive now with the dry I never worry about it and have much better yields.
Pretty sure those General Hydroponics liquid feeds NEED to be mixed eith water; but Kevin sounds like he directly fed it to the plants
Did u mix the 2 methods?
Thanks everyone says you need ten things gets expensive
Hey Man, are you still in SD? Love to pick your brain about all things gardening!! thanks !
I can proudly say I’ve never spilled over a bottle of GH in all my years.. nope, I screw the cap back on once I have my measured amount drawn out to prevent such incident
Awesome, a commercial.
unfortunately when growing high value crop like cannabis you really need to tailor the nutrients for each week stage and these dry nutrients are really difficult for hobby growers to use if they’re trying to be precise
He knows he grows cannabis too.
Yeah but at least with liquid nutes I know exactly what my plants are getting to the ppm. I do make my own tho, so it doesn’t get shipped anywhere.
I was told dont start with a white strain or NFT, my first several crops were white Russian with an NFT 205.. common sense, done Great
Haven’t heard why dry is better just what you like now so how informal is this really
Top nutes
GH flora series
GH Maxibloom
GH Floranova
Technaflora
Fox farms
Ionic
Botanicare
What dummy is still paying for shipping? Not really a good selling tactic
I completely agree with the powder argument. Reason I left foxfarm and went to Lotus nutrients
Very helpful 👍👍
Why has everyone been shilling this particular brand of dry nute?Paid advertisement?
I know maxibloom powder works really good. Jus as good as advanced nutrients sensi products surprisingly
hey yo Epic! what would you be using as far as nutes go for hydro (wink wink) now? you are so in the know and edjumcated. i been out the loop for 5 10 yrs
I make my own liquid nutrients with Korean farming fermentation. I feed my soil based and water grown plants and trees. I don’t even have to mix in anything extra now that my ferment has been established for so long and gets soo much variety
Veg bloom doesn’t work out much cheaper even though it’s in powder form
THANKS, SECOND CONFIRMATION! 🌹
do you sell this plant?
For just a couple of those dry fertilizer on Amazon are $165… general hydro starter kit is much cheaper.. Like$50… I’m getting ready to do my first grow .. I started to buy advance new trans and was realizing that I was going to be paying hundreds of dollars for fertilizer … Then I was going to get Fox farms and a lot of people say that if you’re going to be running RDWC that FOX isn’t the best.. Might come expired …I found Humboldt county has a starter kit .. think I might try that.. maybe you can look into it… I really wanted to try salts … I don’t mind paying for liquid if the cost is low … I know it goes fast .. But I don’t want to spend allot of my first grow and mess up… And waist lots .. Because I chose to start with expensive fertilizers and then I ruined it all ..
Super annoying that Veg+Bloom provides zero information on nutrient content. Is this a faith based product? How about some information, some data?
You lost me at might spill my GH 🥴 sorry but this seems very one sided.
Use hot or cold water to dissolve ?
MasterBlend for me
Great Info , Thank You!
Thank you for the video! I was wondering when you would need more than just the veg+bloom powder by itself? Will vegetables grow fine with just the basic powder? Thank you!
Video quality, editing, product layout, background, info, and even the way you explained things: Superb. Very professional video. Definitely subscribed to your channel.
Can I use blood , bone and fish meal as npk for my autos
So, i see 3 water bottles and 7 dry containers.
So it’s more about what water are you using. You have to match it to the nutes. Something no one tells ya. No one. This man kinda does
This is an infomercial for sure. I’ll stick with General Hydroponics. This stuff is all fluff
agitating (shaking) powders can actually work to separate different particle sizes, instead of mixing them. If you want to mix, advice using a plastic spoon (dry!, nonreactive).
This guy is so biased in his review. You can tell who’s paying him to say all these bs.
Tnx for this very informative video.. appreciated it..
If your using this for food production have you noticed a difference in taste and flavor from one company or type to another?
No one provides information on the amount of nutrients needed for a kratky system
i went lucas method and the amount of dust in the bottom of my DWC is fucking crazy. I got nute lockout almost every time. SO, I have switched to liquid. I was thinking maybe to mix it in with a panty hose or something.
Cool to see veg bloom used to work for the company in sandiego
Really good products just not the best workplace management wants everyone to kiss ass
Anyways love the sd rep
I usually like your videos. But paid promotion……no!
Just wondering are these chemicals safe to breathe while mixing and it goes into the air or should we wear a mask? Secondly with hydroponics should we wear a mask always when near the liquid for the plants? Many thanks
😎
I like the Kalix products. They have so much to choose from.
How do you correctly guage NPK ratio when adding dry and liquid nutrients from different companies?
