    I average 25 a grow."

    I'd say most nutrients do the same thing & some are better suited to different waters, Hard/soft.. And again, it depends on you water on how stable the nutrient reacts, I Suppose its worth trying different nutes until you find one that works best.. Trial and error matey..

    Yh iv used ionics and advanced. Iv always used ionics when i was doing dwc. Iv only used them once in coco with ok sucsess. The advanced however gave me some sort of lockout. My fault for overfeeding.
    But... iv heared people slate ionics but some say its stable in autopot systems.

    And some say canna isnt ph stable in auto pots.

    It's not the systems that don't agree with nutrients.. It's the water/nutrients used and how a certain strain will react.. Iv'e had near perfect grows with Say canna nutrients & then grown another strain using exactly the same formula & get deficiencies etc.. Iv'e used house & garden, canna, plant magic, advanced, all providing me with good results..

    As a side note, you probably don't want to try organic nutes with the autopots.

    From experience I can confirm that it does stick the autopot pipes and valves up and you will spend a good amount of time sorting it out.

    And another side note if you have hard water, A line cleaner will help prevent a possible blockage & also beneficial to plants..
