There isnt too much comparison info on these nutes that i can find and considering there are many knowledgable green thumbs here i was hoping to get some determinate views on these.. Any and all posts are greatly appreciated... One Love to All!!!

My own nute challange. Same room, well lit,total indoor enviromental control,hydro,R.O.. 16 clones sites- 4 nutes,Dutch Master Gold, Rockwool Formula 1, Bot... Pro, and Bot... Tri-flex. At veg the 4 Pro was the worst. Clearly the best growth was DM, but oddly enough had less roots. 2weeks in, there is great overall growth, but again the 4 DM has dominated the pack, Bot...Pro did not make the cut. I picked 12 to flower. 3- DM, 3- F1, 3-Tri, 3-Conni. Three weeks in bloom, again DM is#1 !!!. F-1 is #2, Conni #3, Tri #4. Whats interesting is that most nute mfrs promote additives, and boosters,etc. DM insist not to. Not even H2O2. WOW!!! I started flushing kept 6-DM,and 6-F1. My next test will be veg DM Gold, flower half DM, half Conni. Ive used F1 b4 w/great results. DM Liquid light is the greatest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use half stregnth.

Used the full line of fox farm for 2 cycles in a previous set-up. I liked the results, but be careful! The full strength fox farm recommends tends to be very strong. I got great quality @ 1/2 strength.

The problem with this system I found is they have you completely changing rezzes every 2 weeks or so. Big pain in the but, and as you'll read on many of the threads here unnecessary.

Switched to Bot Pro for a while, but was not blown away. I was reluctant to stray from the organics, but after seeing the results with a batch of DMgold, and another using the Lucas 0-8-16 gh formula I'm a believer! Never need to do complete rez change outs and dont have any PH/TDS issues. Like Lucas said, why use 6 parts when you can use 2

Good old Lucas. Haven't talked to him in years, on Overgrow I guess...Anyways, I recommend Dutch Master, seemed like I was always chasing deficiencies with Fox farms.
