depends were u are around here its only 18 bucks a quart. a general tip for any nutrients buy twice as much flowering than veg,trust me u will need it.if money is a problem there is also gh brand nutrients but botanicare is about the same price.there is also advanced nutrients sensi formula wich is a+b and c+d formuala it a 2+2 part forumala. but keep it simple and cheap. i would reccomend the flora nova series over botanicare "i just used it for the last time and was verry unimpressed" but thats what i started with and kept using it until i discoverd much more better nutrients do give u a much better crop.
