There is very little difference from one brand of hydroponic nutrients to another. There are only a handful of factors that separate good nutrients from OK nutrients.

The more "parts" the nutrient system is broken down into, the more stable and effective it will be. A 3 part system will be more stable and effective than a 1 part system. A 16 part system will separate just about every nutrient into its own, pure, part. This is best, but sets like this can soar well above 300 US dollars. These types of nutrient systems will allow you to feed, only, what is lacking in the system at any given time, instead of giving extra doses of something that may not be needed at the time.

The other, important, factor in deciding the "best" nutrients is whether it is filtered through a micron filter or not. Very pure nutrients will be preferred over non-filtered chemicals, that may still hold some of the washing chemicals used to make them.

One should aim for "Pharmaceutical Grade" nutrients for purity. We do not recommend particular brands, but with this information that I have given, you will be able to make better decisions on which nutrient source is best for you.
