If it was me Look into a USA based company or w/e u live or buy the organic ingredients yourself. if you don’t want to source all the organics and have a good all in one look into AURORA / roots organic ( Oregon ) . If you want Best Buy for your buck look into their dry amendments and if you don’t wanna top dress u could make it into a tea. Key is using ro terp tea vs their liquid line is not only are u not wasting ur time on preteaed concentraction but that tea you made is fresh and highest bacteria score vs using liquid bottle
I have tried and looked at many brands but brand I support and have used with sucess is AURA/roots organics. Terp tea is a great all-in-one for fast release and has a decent amount of microbes species too. also they have line for slower release of similiar ingredients called uprising . If you don’t use both I suggest terp tea so u can drench and top dress ( both or choose option ).
terp tea brew if rez is 50 gallons @ 1-2cups each, key is to watch the plants demand and instead of having seperste rez for diff pheno’s or having to monocrop . A good option is keep Ur drenches low and watch em, if they need more npk top dress more in those pheno’s
top dressed 100 gal container = 1 cup everything 1-2 weeks, I stop top dressing after 3-5th week of bloom and only use tea’s after that so there’s no chance of getting dry amendments on my bud.

2x rate if just terp tea base grow/bloom drench 2cups every 50 gal rez or top dressed 100 gal = 2cups ( if other stuff go 50% ). Key is ur feeding ur microbes and it takes time to work. once u have ur medium feed the plant tells the microbes what it wants. Key is why I def will reuse my mediums and try not to damage natures best intaker/Communication and defense/Allie
(note : I’m in not in anyway Affilated, just a experienced user of their products and really like them)
if it was me I would Invest in base of terp tea and than invest rest of cash in buying singular ingredients and copy cat the more expensive parts of their line like crabmeal, worm castings,
Langbeinite. ,
Sulfate of Potash ,Kelp and Alfalfa Meal. doing that vs buying whole line will be way cheaper but their main line “grow/bloom” are worth their dollar and way they grinded and added microbes is def worth the dollar. For a smaller size u can always get base and add on every new cycle. the nice thing also is if U top dress enough u don’t have to tea/drench it. Which also makes growing way simipler, cheaper and also less work .
if treated water i suggest a filter/ro cause otherwise your killing natures cycle/Allie aka microbes/fungi .
