Synthetic nutrient recommendation’s

Hey guys was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for some synthetic nutes. I’ve been using organic but struggling and i’m looking to get into synthetics, what stack do you guys use? (I prefer to grow in coco) I’m relatively new so the simpler the better.

While some believe synthetic fertilizers kill microorganisms in the soil, research indicates that most fertilizers actually stimulate microbial growth, and that the impact of synthetic fertilizers on soil microbes is generally minimal. The most notable exception is the use of anhydrous ammonia, where microbes can be killed in a localized area, but they quickly recolonize. Many studies show that synthetic fertilizers, particularly when applied correctly, don't kill microbes but rather stimulate their growth and activity. When applied properly, the addition of nitrogen, a common component of synthetic fertilizers, has minimal effects on soil microbes, soil biochemical properties, or soil structure. Anhydrous ammonia, when injected into the soil, can temporarily kill microbes in a localized area. However, these microbes quickly recolonize once the ammonia dissipates or dissolves in water. While not necessarily killing microbes, the overuse and misuse of synthetic fertilizers can lead to long-term degradation of soil biodiversity and ecosystem health. This can occur through changes in soil chemical properties, which in turn affect microbial communities.

ugh 'synthetic' .. it's not even accurate, lol. but empty words are irrelevant. They aren't 'synthetic'..and for that matter your nutes weren't organic relative to the science term and only 'organic' relative to some poorly defined marketing term that has nothing to do with cause and effect. Coco is soilless, so any soilless/hydro setup that should provide a full compliment of nutrients in proper ratios every irrigation. These sorts of nutes are 100% soluble and 100% plant-available. From there you just have to avoid paying 5x more for the fertilizer that uses cheap commodities as ingredients. It should work out to 4-5 cents per gallon mixed not 12-20 cents per gallon mixed If in us/canada region, check out JR Peters Jack's nutrients. "Jack's Part A 5-12-26" is the base. It also has the micros included. you pair that with any calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate (epsom salt). These two components do not need a brand. If you find generics that are cheaper, that's a good option. These particular generics will be like generic medical prescriptions - atom-for-atom the same substance. Foodgrade, non-scented epsom salt from walmart is fine, for example. There's a company that sells 50lbs bags of yaralive branded calcium nitrate, too. Dry nutes last decades in a cool dry place. A little more spent up front will save you money in long-run. It takes me 2-4 years to use up my 25lbs bags of 5-12-26. Due to availability in my area, i pay a bit more for the jacks 15-0-0 cal nitrate, begrudgingly, lol. It lasts a bit longer. The 25lbs bag pairs well with an 8lb bag of epsom salt due to ratio of use (3-2-1). don't pay for water-weight and diluted nutrient brands with huge profit margins. You can grow 6-8lbs a year spending 30-40 USD per year. Fertilizer should be one of your lowest costs. Too many have come eto believe that these things made from commodities somehow have different tiers of quality. With an 'organic' product without a gauranteed analysis label, that might be true, but not with normal fertilizer.

I grow in biobizz light mix and have recently started using Plagron and am highly impressed with the nutes for soil. Terra grow, terra bloom, power buds and green sensation. I'm still using my older root stim but will be switching that to Plagron when it's finished. Obviously for coco they may have a coco base nutrient as terra grow and bloom are for soil.

If you're looking for simple, solid synthetic salts might not be it (depending on your water quality) but I use Kosher Salts. Small batch, very efficiently ran small company, with a guaranteed analysis that covers all macros and micros. Grab a starter pack from them for super cheap and start a relationship with buddy. I switched to them from heavy 16 (a world-class contender for most luxurious pre-bottled salts with a price to match). The only thing I have to say is that their directions do not indicate to mix the phosphorous containing salt first, which is proper procedure chemistry-wise. (So mix their flower or grow in before their base)

Terra Aquatica are great. Canna are also excellent. Stay away from cheap stuff, it is cheap for a reason.
