Thanks Bangkok101 - well said.
I feel bad (not really) saying this, but folks, DUH, does anyone really think that a nutrient is perfect????
Really, I mean, if you think you can just use a nute and it will do everything for you, then you are lazy, not a grower. And if there actually was a nute that could do it all, EVERYONE would be growing. Thank goodness that isn't the case.
Having said that, nutes work differently for everyone and who knows what people do in their grow room, besides what they say in the forums. I mean, there are plenty of reasons why a grow can not work out as well as you want it to - it's not just the nutes that cause troubles. LOL I know I've caused many a problem in my experience...and I wish I could blame it on the nutes...
I too have used GH and it's fine, but AN is just much better for my style of growing and my life. Plus, the results are just unbeatable. Yes, nothing's perfect, but really, if it were easy, growing wouldn't be any fun anymore...

all i use and have used for the past 2 years is jacks classic.if you have all the key elements and a good npk ratio...thats all you need.all these people go out and spends gobs of money on tons of different chemicals to toss into your plants...its not needed.do some simple research on the basics of plants...learn to read them...and they will grow like champs.if your having to buy an entire line of products....not only are you buying into the hype..but your obviously not getting what you need...if it takes 4-6 bottles of stuff to get the right mix...your not buying the right nutes
EDIT: also ill mention that jacks classic is ph perfect...least it has been for me.and no not everyone uses it...just most of the best growers on this site and other sites.

the PH perfect pitch isnt a aimed at a rock solid 5.5 or 5.8 out of the box!! its to allow the plant a wider
range of nute uptake so a PH range of 5.0 to 6.5 would be fine in hydro. there additive allow the plant to
live and eat at a much wider range. so adding ph up or down is still a issue and day to day thing.
they f up and called it ph perect and it should be called something else.

DynaGro is damn near close. I laugh at this pH perfect concept that AN is trying to roll out when for the last 25 years, DG has already had rock solid pH stability. It doesn't matter if it's my crappy tap water or RO, DG's pH won't budge unless you're 'doing it wrong'.
Really, if your fertilizer isn't giving your plants what they need, you're using shitty fertilizer.
There are, but AN figures that if they put enough BS marketing out there, they'll drown out the quality brands that have been around for 25 and 50 years.

Saying something over and over doesn't make it true. It doesn't matter if you're repeatedly saying Dyna Grow is great or something else.
Furthermore, saying the actual truth over and over not only doesn't make it true, it doesn't really increase the likelihood anyone will believe it. Repetition only convinces the speaker, though I can certainly understand the need in that case.
You have to try the stuff yourself.
Here's how the psychology of this works - people who use the most expensive of a type of product want to believe that they're getting more for their money because otherwise it's an unnecessary expense, right? Of course if they actually are getting more for their money they tell the exact same story that they will if they're simply trying to convince themselves so you can't tell either way unless you try it yourself.
The reverse is true of the people who use the cheap stuff. They need to believe that they're really quite clever for not spending more for something that won't give them better results. But again, you can't know whether they're telling the actual truth or only what they really want to believe is the truth because they greatly prefer the self-image of savvy consumer to cheapskate. Again, you've got to try it yourself to know.
(And of course even then you have to be on guard to try to figure out which you're trying to convince yourself of and try to remain objective and clear-headed which is not always easy or even possible.)
My experience has told me over and over and over again that the more you try to cut corners the more you regret it down the road. Sure, public transportation is cheaper if you need to get somewhere on vacation, but the more expensive option of a cab is likely to be enough faster and enough removed from the press of humanity forlornly consigned to public transportation (and, apparently, a life without soap) to be well worth the extra cost.
In my book, the "premium" whatever is nearly always worth the upgrade cost. So of course I struggle to remain objective and evaluate whether that is actually true in each example, but by and large (and in my experience ferts are no exception) it holds true.

Just compare the labels and then tell me which company is cutting corners

yeah, I stumbled on this too.
I haven't noticed any iron troubles with AN's pH Perfect lineup, but that's just me.
I would think that if you had a question like that about a product that you would talk to the tech support department about this problem. I mean, they're the ones that make the products, right?
I'm not sure if I'd listen to folks on these boards since they aren't actually the ones behind the scenes or in the production department.

Strange. It's been spot on for me plants are so healthy without the hassle of all that ph shit

I just ran across this I know it's old, but there is nothing wrong with advanced, it's not even that expensive ( just for the record you got to pay to play). And one more thing real quick , If everything came in one bottle, everything out there would be the same there would be no good growers Or badd growers and everyone would be growing. And it is already all over the place. So to even make it anywhere's you better be on top of your game And Ready to fail and learn, No one can just wake up and Say I'm one of the best With out putting in any time & working on it, it just doesn't work that way. And I'm glad it don't, But don't get me wrong some people just got the gift from God, but 99% of people have to work for it .

There are plenty of things wrong with AN. They sell watered down, multi-part lines designed to appeal to the grower who doesn't know any better. The company hides behind this 'we're here for the growers!' kind of attitude while completely fleecing them at the same time. As Uncle Ben would say, a grower who knows what they're doing can completely crush it with plant food purchased at WalMart.

Anyone shopping the garden section at Wal Mart has to be impressed these days. I haven't found nutes but everything else is there including everything for super soil just about. They even sell bubble hash bags, rosin presses and grow lights although mostly online.

I’m using Sensi bloom and big bud and have experienced and continue to experience this same iron deficiency, and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my plants until you point out the iron thing. Very good observation, thank you! I know it could be grower error, and do like AN so not going to shit on their products. Everyone has differences in their grow, I just came here for info on AN, not other companies. But always open to learn new info and techniques just not in a thread specifically about AN.

I tried AN Sensi PH perfect in some of my first grows....whether it be because of my own screw ups, the nutrients, or both, it just didn't hold a good PH value anywhere close to 5.5-6.2. I switched to Floranova Grow and Bloom and immediately started seeing a decline in my need to adjust PH in relation to how much I had to with AN. And it has the added bonus of not having to mix ratios of two different bottles for your grow or your bloom base nutes...just one bottle grow, one bottle bloom...so out of those two, I've just had more success with the Floranova. Haven't tried any other GH base nutes.

Hey I'm judt starting out and using True Plant Sciences ONE as my base and recharge
Thinking that its covering my base, and semi covering sensezym, ancient earth, bud candy.
My boss uses these others and sensi bloom a+b and others grow great weed but trying to use less but cover everything he uses
