Dry vs. Liquid Hydroponic Nutrients: Pros and Cons
Dry vs. Liquid Hydroponic Nutrients: Pros and Cons
For most of my gardening life, I’ve used liquid hydroponic fertilizers and nutrients. But I’ve recently switched over to dry nutrients, so let’s take a look at the pros and cons of both of these types of hydroponic nutrients.

Powered is better always
Liquid nutrients just flat out work better. 100%
I usually like your videos. But paid promotion……no!
I like the Kalix products. They have so much to choose from.
This is an infomercial for sure. I’ll stick with General Hydroponics. This stuff is all fluff
What kind of reaction happens if you mix the liquids out of order? Does the same reaction take place with the granular nutrients?
Veg bloom doesn’t work out much cheaper even though it’s in powder form
I’m doing cuttings in a hydroponic system do I need all 3 nutrients from General Hydroponics For my cuttings?
hey yo Epic! what would you be using as far as nutes go for hydro (wink wink) now? you are so in the know and edjumcated. i been out the loop for 5 10 yrs
How many time this nutrient use for per day or week (coco)
unfortunately when growing high value crop like cannabis you really need to tailor the nutrients for each week stage and these dry nutrients are really difficult for hobby growers to use if they’re trying to be precise
do you sell this plant?
If your using this for food production have you noticed a difference in taste and flavor from one company or type to another?
Can I use blood , bone and fish meal as npk for my autos
Thank you for the video! I was wondering when you would need more than just the veg+bloom powder by itself? Will vegetables grow fine with just the basic powder? Thank you!
You lost me at might spill my GH 🥴 sorry but this seems very one sided.
I switched to dry too, It is 1/10th the price. I find with GH liquid I was always trying to use less since its expensive now with the dry I never worry about it and have much better yields.
This guy is so biased in his review. You can tell who’s paying him to say all these bs.
Yeah but at least with liquid nutes I know exactly what my plants are getting to the ppm. I do make my own tho, so it doesn’t get shipped anywhere.
Why has everyone been shilling this particular brand of dry nute?Paid advertisement?
Haven’t heard why dry is better just what you like now so how informal is this really
Did u mix the 2 methods?
Thanks everyone says you need ten things gets expensive
If I dissolve urea, DAP, potash and Epsom salt in water and use that for hydroponic, will that be bad anyway? It is indeed the cheapest solution.
Hey Kevin i’m currently using GH and find it time consuming to mix everything being I currently have 6 bins some 12 gallons and some 27 gallons, with more to come. Would the plants hate me if I switched them to Veg+bloom when it’s time to flush them out and add new nutrients? I feel like nutrient day would go a lot quicker with the Veg+bloom but I’m worried they wont like the change. They are doing awesome on GH and I don’t want to cause any issues.
Also do you know how many gallons can be made with the 1lb container?
No one provides information on the amount of nutrients needed for a kratky system
Very helpful 👍👍
Cool to see veg bloom used to work for the company in sandiego
Really good products just not the best workplace management wants everyone to kiss ass
Anyways love the sd rep
I completely agree with the powder argument. Reason I left foxfarm and went to Lotus nutrients
Just wondering are these chemicals safe to breathe while mixing and it goes into the air or should we wear a mask? Secondly with hydroponics should we wear a mask always when near the liquid for the plants? Many thanks
He knows he grows cannabis too.
Use hot or cold water to dissolve ?
Super annoying that Veg+Bloom provides zero information on nutrient content. Is this a faith based product? How about some information, some data?
After a short while my Veg+Bloom bag wouldn’t reseal.Fine powder caused that even taking care.And why not give us the all important 1penny silicon packs with the expensive product ?
agitating (shaking) powders can actually work to separate different particle sizes, instead of mixing them. If you want to mix, advice using a plastic spoon (dry!, nonreactive).
I make my own liquid nutrients with Korean farming fermentation. I feed my soil based and water grown plants and trees. I don’t even have to mix in anything extra now that my ferment has been established for so long and gets soo much variety
Top nutes
GH flora series
GH Maxibloom
GH Floranova
Technaflora
Fox farms
Ionic
Botanicare
I have already brought the master blend solution all I want to know is how much powder do I add with a one gallon jug
FYI – Not sure if anyone mentioned but it looks like Veg+Bloom is no longer on Amazon (at least in Canada) and Grower House apparently doesn’t ship to Canada. Anyone got any leads on where to order?
Ace video thanks! Could you pre-mix like 10L of the powder stuff but not use it straight away? Like so you do a big mix and then you can use that for the next few weeks or whatever rather than having to mix up a batch everytime?
Hello, wondering if anyone could give me advice. I am growing in hydroton reservoired bubble bucket system, and my tap water is soft 27ppm. Which is recommended veg+bloom HD, or RO soft?
i went lucas method and the amount of dust in the bottom of my DWC is fucking crazy. I got nute lockout almost every time. SO, I have switched to liquid. I was thinking maybe to mix it in with a panty hose or something.
Great Info , Thank You!
I can proudly say I’ve never spilled over a bottle of GH in all my years.. nope, I screw the cap back on once I have my measured amount drawn out to prevent such incident
Tnx for this very informative video.. appreciated it..
Video quality, editing, product layout, background, info, and even the way you explained things: Superb. Very professional video. Definitely subscribed to your channel.
How do you correctly guage NPK ratio when adding dry and liquid nutrients from different companies?
THANKS, SECOND CONFIRMATION! 🌹
Hey Man, are you still in SD? Love to pick your brain about all things gardening!! thanks !
Definitely trying it out. I’ve hesitated to try the liquid nutrients because mixing 3 bottles plus balancing pH just seems like more steps than necessary. I love that these powdered nutrients also help lower the pH!
