    There's quite a few on the market such as Dutch pro, Growers Ark, ionic and plant magic, the list goes on.. Ionic is a popular one around here but I use the Growers ark, not because it's a better product it's just more suited to my very hard tap water. Take a look at my Exodus diary there's abit about nutrients in there

    TO GROW A PLANT YOU NEED TO THINK LIKE A PLANT

    In that case be sure to buy soft water specific base nutrients when purchasing any new brands

    You might already have it toblue but a bottle of cal-mag is always handy.

    Thanks Kbag, I have some advanced cal/mag coco, added it a few times at half dose, not sure if I needed to though as they were showing nothing.

    I am using canna nutrients in coco but it is the aqua vega and flores what is designed for use in recirculating systems i like the npk ratio's and that it contains silicon humic acids and fulvic acids i would not advise anyone to do this. Blues advice is good & sound canna coco nutes def do a good job.

    Well happyjack I have a stinging nettle smoothie most mornings now and I feel great on it. I carry on right through summer just taking the top new leaves. About a pint glass full, with half a grapefruit and a few other bits and bobs.

    I've stuck to canna for several reasons. It's availability price and it works.

    Work with the less is more rule too. When I first started I thought you really had to pump them full of the nutrients. These days I rarely go with more than 1.2ec made up of several nutrients. I never go over 0.8 in veg either.

    That's with rhizo zyme silicone a&b ph down etc and in bloom I use pk and a boost too.

    I would second the advice on Ec levels as Mr valve said.
