Is foliage-pro by dyna-gro any good for peppers

Im planning on growing mild peppers and some Carolina reapers, is the nutrients any good?
Im using a 5 gallon bucket with net cups and rockwool
The peppers that are mild are gonna be sportpeppers

Many here have had success with DYNA-GRO, myself included.

Nice. Which product of theirs do you use? Is it the Foliage Pro or something else?
`
Dyna-Gro markets a number of different N-P-K ratio products, All-Pro™ 7-7-7, Orchid Pro 7-8-6, Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 and BLOOM 3-12-6 but I've used GROW 7-9-5 exclusively.
 
There are opinions and heated arguments over the best N-P-K ratio to use, especially the grow-bloom thing, but I buy off Amazon because we're a Prime subscriber and it's whatever's cheapest + free S&H.>   Dyna-Gro on Amazon, just make sure you'r comparing apples to apples as they use quart, ounce & gallon anywhere it's advantageous to selling (Or fooling you!).

Thanks for you responses, but should I dip my rock wool in the foliage pro?should I dip it in the nutrients after I get a 5.5 ph

I'd mix up the nutrients in water at about 1/4 strength, then ph it and soak the wool in that. I also just started using Foliage-Pro! Loving it.

Curious, is the correct method to add nutrients then correct pH? Or correct pH and add nutes?

Most nutes will drop ph. Although something like Dyna-Gro's Pro-TeKt is silicon along with other things like K (0-0-3). It is very alkaline and will raise ph (I actually use it in place of ph up).
pH adjustments should be made last because of this.
