So many options. First ask of make sure you good a good quality soul that is high in acidity, mix perlite, vermiculite and/or coco to lighten the mix. I like to feed the soil a bit so the plants need less liquid feed but they almost always seem to want extra feed. A good beginner brand i recommended is biobizz, fairly cheap, simple to use and obtain and organic! 👍🌱

Hi there!
It depenss how much you know chemistry and how much are you willing to learn? Basic nutes are best used as pure salts for simpliciry and by far cheapest option but needs some knowledgement.
I think any 3 part solution works but Lucas formula is really simple amd it works too! You only need Ghe micro and grow for this and easy as hell!

Background:

High ppm in drainageI flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?2y ago

Nutirents for hard waterQuestion regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?Feeding. Chemical composition

Can I use NPK of 2-3-3 for flowering phase?I found in the store a liquid fertiliser only for flowering plants with a NPK ratio of 4-6-6, so a lot of potassium and phosphorus which are good for the flowering phase.
I was thinking about feeding the plant with this, halving the dose reaching a 2-3-3 ratio.
Is it good?Week 9
