If you are after awesome taste and smoke/vape, I would recommend to go for organic soil or organic coco. I used to be all-in hydrodude, but once I tried organic soil using Plagron organic line I got stuck with it because it was delicious tasting bud and was not much lower yields either. You can run Plagron line using just Alga Bloom basically, maybe add some Green Sensation at the end as PK and carbon boost. I guess it’s the simplicity that got also my attention. Just check that your soil is pre fertilised if you go just with those two products.
At the moment I run Greenhouse Powder Feeding organic line, it is meant to be used as top dressing or mix in soil, but my plants have been loving it. On top of that I use just Plagron Green Sensation from week 2 or 3 of flowering and EM-1. So i just give plain water and every second week Enhancer that has beneficial bacteria and fungi and EM-1 that has all those others goodies. So simple, finally I don’t have thousand different bottles and PH/EC meters and their calibration liquids etc.
At the moment I run some autos and started them in BioBizz light mix and added 1.5g/L soil the greenhouse powder feeding grow and bloom, worm castings and bio char at 10% from volume added together and top dresses them with 2g/L bloom when they started pre-flowering and from week twoish I started to add Green Sensation at 1/3 dose once I a week and slowly rising the dose till they are matured enough to slowly mature till they exhaust all the nutrients.
Got some Strawberry Gorilla, Gorilla Glue from Fast Buds, Mimosa from 00 Seeds and Sticky Orange XXL from Sensi Seeds. Next run will be photoperiods that are now in the veg in the same tent. There are some good strains also coming, like Golden Pussy and Orange GroovyeBX from Grateful Seeds and Sunset Paradise from Paradise Seeds. Running all this in 2x4 with two Mars Hydro TS-1000 LEDs.
But best way to improve your smoke is to steer away from salt based nutrients and go with organic. Hydro grown buds are also good, but you just have to run your grow with minimal input of salts and let them flush well and cure them well. When running organic nutrients you free so much time and effort to make your buds taste good and you are not going to have big impact on your yield, it is just bit slower than hydro.
Less is more always with salt based nutrients, always.
