As I explained earlier, these were our veg nutrients… because this is what the guy at the hydro store recommended. I have always used Foxfarm’s Grow Big For Soil, which also comes in a hydro version (which has a lower N-P-K, and they add calcium and magnesium), and I have always had great success. However since this is our first hydro run, we took the guy’s word for it. I was fairly unimpressed with these. The plants grew, but didn’t skyrocket. Also with the prescribed low dose of cal-mag I ended up with deficiencies. I think next round it’ll either be Grow Big or Advanced Nutrients SensiGrow A-B.
Which brings us into flowering, and our new food AN’s SensiBloom 2 part blooming nutrient. These nutrients are designed for hydro, the label has accurate conversions from tsp.-ppm. I guess I don’t really have an opinion on this one yet, it comes highly recommended from some friends, I guess we’ll see 
Big Bud comes in week two as the MOAB phases out and continues through week five. It is packed full of amino acids. I think AN puts it best “What the heck are amino acids? Oh, they’re just the building blocks of proteins and other important factors that are absolutely essential for plant life, growth and yield, that’s all!”
Cha Ching is Foxfarm’s finisher. You run it the last couple of weeks (6-8 with indica, later with sativas) and helps with resin and oil production, as well as adding weight and density. I have seen this work wonders on soil plants, and I’m really excited to use it again.
Liquid Carbo Load is basically really expensive liquid sugar. Your plant loves sugar, it makes sugar, sugar increases yield, bud density, and that sweet deliciousness we all love. I hear molasses is just as good, but only the best for my little girls!
Diamond Nectar contains trace amounts of Fulvic Acid. This one is important. It helps the plants break down their sugars, you can’t add enough of this stuff. I recommend the high dose, 2tsp per gal. During the second half of flowering, supplement feeding with foliar spray 1-2x a week. Use double the recommended dosage for the foliar spray. Outside of California you can replace this with fulvic acid, AN makes Grandma Enggy’s F1 (Fulvic Acid) but unfortunately they won’t ship it out here.
It lasted like 2 weeks.
I suggest the gallon size.
B52 is a life saver. It is a blend of B-vitamins, Humic Acid, and Norwegian Sea Kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum). The combination of the three helps your plant cope with environmental stresses like drought, and heat. The sea kelp contains hormones called cytokinins that tell your plant to stop vertical growth, and reduce the distance between nodes, so don’t start using this until a couple weeks into flower, when your satisfied with your plant’s height. I found agricultural studies that found Ascophyllum Nodosum when applied in a foliar spray increases yield size and density.
