I would love to hear where you got that from.

Anyway, as has been already stated, throwing shit on one nute company or another is fairly common on threads like this. For some reason AN is more often then not the one taking the fist in the face. This is usually due to it's price.

Personally, I have used GH's 3 part nute. It did mediocre results. So I started looking into other nute companies, and AN's Sensi two part solution was about the same price as GH's, so I tried it, and was super impressed. So I went out and got their bud blood, big bud, and overdrive. I havn't tried them yet, but can't wait.

I did go to the store the other day and asked the guy about jumpstart, their clone booster, and they were totally against it. They talked me into getting Root Juice instead. Probably because it was 2.5x the price. But we'll see how it works.

The bad thing about AN, for one is their price, and for two is all of their add ons. If you go to their nutrient calculator, they have like 14 different additives, and they claim everyone is just as important as the last. I find that hard to believe. The good thing is all of their stuff has a guarantee on it. If you don't like it, just bring it back to where you bought it from for a full refund. You really can't go wrong with that guarantee.

I use Ionic two part nutes and H202. I have tried plenty of additives and have not been impressed. A lot of my grower buddies have sworn by advanced nutes and all these silly additives. But they can not deny how simple and yet effective my nutrient package is, with a cleaner reservoir and at half the price. There is so much marketing out there that it gets hard to sort out the BS.

To grow good big buds, you need a few very simple basic things.

1. The correct photoperiod (the right amount of light hours)

2. Proper lighting

3. A good environment in terms of temp and humidity and fresh air.

4. A good well suited growing medium to you and your plants needs.

5. The right amount of base ferts N P K for the plants needs at any given stage of the plants life.

6. The right ratio of secondary and trace nutrients.

Thats it!

There is no need for all these stupid additives, huge buds have been grown indoors for decades, long before this crazy idea that wasting loads of money and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at your plants not to mention making the fatcats wallets much heavier will give you better yields and or healthier plants, its just rediculous!

I too have used all sorts of additives and iv yet to find one that actually does what it says it does, i get good buds with two bottles, grow and bloom, and i feel like a mug for spending money on the other shit.

But carry on, spend your hard earned money on waste and useless by-products of the sugar refining and chemical industry, because thats all these products are, shit that nobody else wants!

Maybe AN and other over-priced and over-rated products may be good if you dont understand the above requirements that your plants need or you dont have the experience or just the plain old common sense to get this right but to an experienced and established grower theyre just BULLSHIT, end of.

And remember, all this shit you throw at your plants you are smoking at the end of the day in the final product! And you wanna pay through your teeth for this privaledge?? lmfao

You say you have used all sorts of additives before. What kinds? Have you ever used VHO? or any of AN products? If so, which ones? You also say you only use two nutes, which ones?

The reason why I'm asking, is alot of people say 'AN is shit, don't waste your money' bla bla bla .... but have never actually tried it. If you have and havn't noticed a difference that is one thing, but if you have tried Fox Farm's bloom enhancers and didn't notice a difference, then say so and don't shit on AN.

And yeah, plenty of people have grown great buds before all of these fancy additives. That's for sure, but then again there were times that people were cured from the flu with leaches. Doesn't mean that was the actual reason why.

Please.

Please what? How about an actual contribution?

I'm not trying to insult you, just asking what your experience is and what you have used. I don't think that's too much to ask.

My contribution.

What a cop out. Answer the questions or just leave it be.
