@Shijo_Kingo, I think many of the fertilizers are way off in their ratios as well as their strenghts.
The macro nutrients, micro and trace elements are close to impossible to dial in; in your conquest for the perfect grow, unless you DIY (if you are picky and want pristine/perfect grow, not just what you think looks OK(DIY!)).
I find, finding a pre-mixed brand that works --is as hard as trying to find a pair of pants that fits on every person on earth! You will end up with a bulky pair of pants that doesn't feel -or look right on anyone.
Not to mention the steep co$t/pric€ :scream: compared to DIY :heart_eyes::ok_hand:.
As you are into re-vegging/cloning you have a golden opportunity to get 100% dialled in with your particular plant over time.
DIY-mix, cultivate, take notes, clone and repeat, now using the fresh data from the previous grows --until you are happy with the result.
Buying salts in bulk, atleast for me cost roughly the same as liquid ferts pre-mixed, but with the bulk I normally end up with 5-10kg extra calcium nitrate etc for the next 100+++ grows :grin:.
As a former exotic fish enthusiast, I quickly realized the potential for using DIY aquarium nutrients when growing marijuana. The strength in a planted aquarium compared to growing weed in hydroponics is not the same, but you can use the same nutrients, just adjust the ratio/strength to your plants current needs.

If you are too lazy, making your own spreadsheet; converting atomic mass units into working data in your quest to calculate the perfect nutrients ; you intend to mix to get a good ratio/ppm:

is another decent page to get your DIY project started, and will do the math for you (works for most of the added components you intend yo use in your DIY project).
Good luck! :facepunch::nerd_face::ok_hand:
@Shijo_Kingo, you said in that diary that they were hard to clone... I had taken 4 cuttings off of this plant. They did take about the same time to root.
I had a diary going but had to cut it off. Before cutting it short, I felt that there wasnt the same vigor, wasnt sure if it was due to them being taken for FEM or not giving the proper attention they deserved.. Look forwawrd to more of your grows with your RARE DANKNESS:100:
