so ive been testing Advanced sensi bloom vs. FF line up and I know it's cause one is organic (well semi) and one is chemical but the advanced is blowing the foxfarm away in terms of buds filling out.. Can't comment on final product but I have to say I was gonna switch to the ff lineup and dump the advanced but I'm rethinking that now.

sensi A/B is decent stuff, and yes all half strength at most, try final phase for the flush.... savage stuff! and dosent cost you an arm and a leg either

With the sensi bloom I hit them hard with 3 ts's part A, 3 ts's part B, 1/8 ts Big bud, 2 ts's Bud candy, 1/2 ts calmag per gallon and they love it.. Haven't burnt them yet but just gotta watch your ph.. I have found that when using AN in soil you should def supplement your soil with lime also

I have the exact opposite of your experiment. What exact products are you using from FF? Seems like you are using alot of additives because my grow compared to other nutrients are almost identical if not better with the FULL FF line. Don''t know about you but I think semi organic is better then chemicals.

IMO there are mutch better organic or, "semi organic" products out there than FF.

Which would be? I would agree with you but for the price and the ingredients on big bloom are great.

A 5 dollar bag each of Epsomas Garden-Tone, Plant-Tone and Bio-Tone will grow right along side any AN products. AN products are only worth the money if you like funding Russian gangsters.......

Maybe I am going on the light side of feeding them, following FF's schedule but I know my ladies are heavy feeders.. Just seems like it's taking soooo much longer.. The only other thing I changed was trying to go just into 12/12 instead I usually do straight 48 hours of darkness to induce.. Wonder if that's why their slowed down? I have always since I started growing did the 2 days of darkness so I really never saw what happens when they don't get that dark period

Can't say if its worth it or not bro..
but I'll tell ya a brand of nutrients that is worth trying and worth the money (not even that expensive either).
I just recently bought myself the complete 'General Organics' (aka General Hydroponics) nutrient lineup. Actually, I bought their 'GO BOX'.
It came with everything I could dream of bro. Well, not everything.. but it came with a ton of shit.
For under $40 bucks.. I got all of the following nutrients/additives/supplements
1. Bio-Bud (Bloom Booster/Bud Booster)
2. CaMg+ (Calcium and Magnesium additive/supplement) <-- good stuff too... my ladies love this stuff.
3. Bio-Marine (Cold Processed Squid)
4. Bio-Weed (Cold Processed Seaweed)
5. Bio-Root (Root development booster) <- that shit works like fucking magic! For the first time, I've got roots trying to come out of the bottom of the pots.
6. Bio-Thrive 'GROW' (nutrient for veg cycle)
7. Bio-Thrive 'BLOOM' (Nutrient for bloom cycle/flowering cycle)
8. Diamond Black (Liquid Humic Acids) <-- Aids in helping the plant/plants in micro-nutrient uptake.
These nutrients are completely 100% organic.. which I'm beginning to absolutely love! I should have switched over to organics a long time ago. I can already not only see the difference with using organics.. but I can actually smell the difference. The buds on my PKB plant (almost 4 full weeks into flowering) smell so much better and more natural.. its almost impossible to explain the difference really.. but the difference is easy to see and smell... IMO.
So again, for under $40 bucks.. you can get all of those nutrients/additives/supplements that I just listed. Hell of a deal for the money if I may say so myself.
peace..
PS. you should look into the 'General Organics' brand.. more specifically their 'GO BOX'. It's the best value for the money IMO.

Yeah I could see that. What type of strains are you running? I have always noticed a huge growth spurt when I TOO put them in dark for 48 hours. The growth has seemed very slow as well but you have to remember that is because of the organics. It is basically growing at a MORE natural rate. You might not get the yield or growth of the other products but the final product of this FF line is pretty amazing compared to others.

Actually right now I'm doing Blueberry Jam (my oldest strain, growing it for like 5 years) Just got GH WW, LSD and popped one MK ULTRA but my main strain is the bbjam..

AN is over-hyped fertilizer and there is nothing new about mineral salts in a bottle. I'm currently testing Advanced Nutrient's top-of-the-line base nutrient; Connoisseur and by day 14 of flower, I could already see that DynaGro was out performing. Don't believe me? The test is in my sig.
