What is the most economical nutrient regimen that covers all needs? Veg, bloom, micro, and any extras like silica, root enzymes, etc. Feel free to say what's not needed. Using AN currently.Also my buddy swears by miracle gro organics. He only uses that plus a little calmag.

Jack's 3-2-1 setup. if you buy in bulk it's roughly 4 cents per gallon mixed, even with recent inflation. Used to be well under 4 cents per gallon, lol. but, you gotta buy in bulk, so 25lbs bags. you spend a bit more upfront but it'll last several years for a small garden. dry nutes store indefinitely, so that is not an issue. jacks 5-12-26 Part A - 50-70 $ 25lbs. enough for 3700 gallons? can do the math 25lbs converted to grams / 3.6g dose. Calcium nitrate -- this can be generic or jacks... 30-50 $ range epsom sale (magnesium sulfate) -- 8lbs foodgrade walmart equate brand is 8 $. spend 150 or less today and won't spend money on nutrients for at least 3 years or longer. if you do 30-40 plants/year it's maybe 25-30/year in fertilizer. you can't beat 25/year growing year round with 30+ average-sized plants in total.

Floranova grow and bloom. Very concentrated and very effective one part nutrients. Massive bloom formulation to add to the floranova bloom, when in flower. The floranova series is all I use and with great results. Easy, cheap, and effective.
