Howdy Fellow Farmers!!!I use General Hydroponics Flora Series, according to the GH chart...I noticed the ppm concentration decreases rapidly, to about 50% starting strength in 7 days...and then I change it... I also now see a group of additives listed on their chart, Diamond Necter/Chi/Flora Shield/prysol, etc....

My question is, "Are these additives cost effective", ie., are they worth the added expense???

Furthermore, are there other less expensive nutrients to use yielding the same/better results with hydroponics?? I seem to spend almost as much for nutes/electricity already as I would for the same amount of produce I grow, ..(and if I add all the additives listed on chart, I will be paying more than the local grocery).....

"How Much should I expect to yield with a 430watt HPS in a small 2x3 grow cabinet, with WhiteWidow and AK47" ??? I can fit 4 plants, maybe 6(but they are pretty crowded)...
