I'm just finishing my first grow in coco. I didn't enjoy the process or the results very much. I want to be able to more accurately monitor and control PPM and water uptake, so I want to move over to DWC.
However, I also like the concept of keeping it simple. I read that GH MaxiBloom is essentially the Lucas formula. While the Lucas formula might not be best, it is certainly enticing to think that I can buy this one nute, put enough to bring PPMs to where I want them, and call it a day.
What do you all think about this lineup for keeping it simple?
Tap water ~150ppm
GH Maxibloom
Hydroguard
GH ArmorSi
pH Up/Down
I have some Emerald Harvest CalMag in case it ends up being needed at all. I may add it in small amounts regardless as it doesn't seem to hinder things too much if I add a little too much.
I am also curious about the difference between wet and dry nutes. If you can buy both, both cost the same, which do you prefer?
