Fertilizer is like sugar.
All of them are about the same.
Pick the cheapest, and don't let the fertilizer company feed charts talk you into overfeeding or using unneeded supplements.

I'm planning on growing in coco, so what's everyone es thoughts on the 4 brands above?

The only one of those that I have extensive experience with is Advanced. 20 years using them and always get great results. Even easier now with the pH Perfect technology. I've mainly grown DWC or soilless with them using RO or distilled water only. Since the switch to pH Perfect some years back I have never checked pH and never had issues I could say were pH related and I'm talking at least a couple hundred plants. Sometimes I've fed too much or too little but never had weird pH type problems.

All I use is the 3-part, Big Bud for flowering and some Rhino Skin for some silica. Any CalMag will do and I also use some Epsom Salts. I've tried a few of the other supplements but never noticed anything that was worth paying extra money for. They make some specifically for coco too but I never use coco so not sure what all they have. Can't get coco locally but ProMix HP has been around the last 10 years or so and I love it. Straight out of the bale and water in with half strength nutes to start with works great. I rarely go more than half strength unless it's a heavy feeding strain then may go 3/4 at 3mls/L every 2nd watering. I mainly go half that or even 1ml/L each watering to even out the feed. In DWC I may change nutes once after the stretch but mainly never change the nutes the whole grow and just monitor the ppm levels to adjust how much I feed them.

I have a buddy that swears by REMO nutes. He grows professionally and started using them about 6 months ago. I just picked up a small version of their Supercharged kit that I won in a draw at the hydro store in the city. I actually won it last Nov but didn't make it out to the city until two weeks ago and picked it up. All the same 7 bottles but 250ml of each instead of 1L each in the full sized pack. I'll be doing a side-by-side with them and the AN stuff to see how it works out. Also some MegaCrop v.2.0 one part nutes that I also won but on a pot forum and so far I'm liking them too. You should check them out. They're making a 2-part version of their dry nutes now and have a few supplements as well tho I'm not a big fan of tossing a lot of those into the mix.

I have no experience with the Green Planet or Emerald Harvest but they should work too.

If you hate screwing around with pH then go for the AN.

Advanced all the way. You can get through an entire grow using nothing but Sensi Bloom, some CalMag and some Overdrive (if that's your thing) Not having to deal with with pH (and all that goes along with it) makes growing so much easier.

I tried that Overdrive and didn't see any improvement to anything. I've used the Big Bud since Dr. Hornby invented it and it does make a noticeable difference so I buy a 500g can of the powder every 5 years and use about half what they say to use. Extra Mg, sulfur and some K will really plump up the buds and trichs the last couple of weeks before stopping the feeding. So Epsom salts can supply the first two and I have some 0-0-62 for the extra K.

A few years after they started making the pH Perfect I got Sensi grow for veg and Connie for Bloom but wasn't impressed so just bought gallon jugs of the 3-part and that lasts me for 5 years too. It's amazing how long that stuff lasts when you're not changing nutes and throwing out perfectly good stuff every week.

Megacrop!

You can't go wrong going with Adv. Nutrients, particularly for base nutes if you have decent water to start with and can get all the pH Perfect benefits. I'm just finishing-up a grow using-up pH Perfect Connoisseur Coco Bloom A&B I already had, with everything going fine, with normal good results; and this is without adding cal-mag (so the coco version has enough in it already). I generally follow TaNg's approach and use AN Connoisseur Coco Bloom A&B from sprouting to harvest.

But I think MegaCrop is just as good; is also very tolerant of water pH (works for me with mid-quality tap water); and I'll probably be switching to the new 2-part formulation.

My plants do not care how much I paid for the nutrients or if they came in a shinny bottle. Green Leaf nutrients new 2 part is way ahead of the pack now on price and customization ability. Using their online calculator you can approximate what ever NPK ratios you want. I am running them right now for the first time. I have made a couple of mistakes but not too serious. I just gave too much magnesium for a couple of weeks. Here is a look at what I have been doing in 10 gallons. The 30% or 40% add line is mixed into 1 gallon of water and 1/3 of that is added to the reservoir daily to keep the original PPM in the tank. The B1, Potassium, silica, yucca and Phosphorus are NPK industries RAW products.

This schedule is not perfect but it will be closer on the next run. Some plants are really finicky so it is not an easy task.

I am not saying this is for everyone but I am growing 6 plants on less than $50 nutrients.

Greenleaf Megacrop 2 part and sweet candy. Save your money for something else.
