They're all good nutrients all designed for canna plants.

Personally I like Advanced Nutrients as I find I get the least amount of problems with it. I used to really like Canna and use them for a long time and get some really good harvest from them. However once I switched to Reverse Osmosis water I started having problems. That's when I discovered Advanced Nutrients is more suited to RO water and I switched and haven't looked back. However with tap water Canna is very good.

H&G I haven't really used before but I can tell you that lots of people absolutely swear by them. They are a bit expensive if you are going to buy their entire range.

GHE I used to use for a long time and they are good. Lots of commercial growers use them because you can buy their nutrients in 10+ gallon buckets. Plus they're reasonably cheap.

HESI are very good, a bit more expensive than GHE but cheaper than H&G. I think HESI are probably a good beginner nutrient regime.

ATAMI I've never used but I believe they are also good.

So really... any one of those nutrients you'll get good results as long as you feed them properly.

Okay .. my suggestion... Look at the nutrient feeding schedules for each of them. Price out how much the bottles are going to cost you. Pick whichever one 'speaks to you' the most.

howdy brother, my grow shop always big up canna, so they must be good
but i have no exp with coco so cant tell you from first hand knowledge

I've grown with coco and all I can say is give them a lot of Cal/Mag in the first week or two so they don't develop cal/mag deficiencies from the coco.

Or buy them a coco specific nutrient which will have extra cal/mag added to it already. But still I would look into getting a bottle of cal/mag on hand just in case. Epson salts are good to have on hand too. If you have any problems and you're not sure what the problem is, one of us can say 'give them some epson salts' etc so if you have them just in case it's good.

GHE and h3ad's formula (1.6ml micro and 2.4ml of bloom / liter) is the easiest for coco. I'm currently trying AN Jungle Juice micro and bloom, but the results are pretty much identical to the GHE Micro and Bloom. Never had any cal/mag issues in coco.

[edit] Following the instructions in the bottles usually gives bad results.

[edit2] The advanced nutrients jungle juice micro and bloom are advertised as replacements for the GHE micro and bloom, the AN bottles cost a couple of euros less, but apparently do not contain the silicate that the GHE nutrients has built in, so if you're gonna use AN jungle juice, get a bottle of silicate as well, I use Growth Technology Liquid Silicon.
