This is basically a Remo vs. Sensi vs. Blue Planet question.
((...I'm not too worried about plant smell leaking now that I had my wife smoke a couple cigs in the tent with the fan on in it... No smell outside the tent at all, and no smell inside after leaving the fan on for 10 minutes afterwards))
The nute question: I'm trying to decide between the three that I listed. I'm honestly leaning towards BPN, just because of the volume for the money, but that whole "The owner got raided by police, who happened to mysteriously snag his business computers and return them in a suspiciously short amount of time" thing is a bit off putting.
I can get a three gallon micro/grow/bloom package for something like $75. Do the others I listed have something like that? I'd love to go with Remo, but for the volume of the sorta rwdc I'm going to be running, I'd have to put in more than one order. Same with Sensi. What are your thoughts on the matter?
 
I don't know the last one... But you cannot miss with the first two.
I use AN Sensi bloom with BB and OD. Nothing more or less.

Synethetic nutes are often very similar. You are on the right track with micro-grow-bloom but I suggest taking a look at the ingredients of the FloraGrow and then the Micro and Bloom. You'll see that those two have everything Gro has in it and most people skip the Gro entirely. A general rule of thumb when running micro-bloom as a 2 part is 6ml/gal FloraMicro 9ml/gal FloraBloom -- you can increase or decrease depending on the hardness of your water/strain/if you run an RO.

I like this setup because the nutes are cheap, its an easy 2 part that keep a mostly clean reservoir. Common additives would be Dripclean, silcia (we use Fascilitor or ArmorSI), and the calmag if you are running an RO.

I've spent quite a bit of time "researching". One of the reasons I'm leaning towards BPN is that theirs already has the calcium in it ((according to both reviews, and ingredients list)), and I'm trying to do this grow without having to buy five bottles, or re-buy a bottle halfway through the grow because it wasn't big enough for a 35-40 gal. rwdc.
My tap water sits at a ph of 7.5, and leaves that white (calcium/lime/whatever it is)residue. It hasn't killed my Bunn coffee maker, yet, so it isn't super hard water, but you have to wipe out a drinking cup due to the white film.
I may have settled on BPN, IF their's is "ph perfect". If not, I'll go with... I don't know yet.
 
@getpulse.co Didn't mean to come across as rude, or anything. Probably gonna pick up the AN stuff with the gorilla on the label. I'm actually trying to test/disprove the theory that you can't grow a lot of good stuff with cheap shit. The bad thing is, everything but the nutes are cheap lol I'll tag you in the journal once I start it in the next few weeks.
 
Wound up going with Humbolt's three part. May not be the best, but I'm being cheap this time around.
