Well, we are talking about a soil grow here and not a hydro grow. I started out as a soil grower and used a multitude of different fertilizers over the years. The Peter's "Jack's Classic" series ended up as my favorites.

I've used Advanced Nutriets for my hydro growing, and to be very honest, I don't like it. The first grow, AN mislabled the ratios on the bottle and all my young plants died. Needless to say, that was expensive. If you use all the nutrients in their line, which they promise will produce a ton of pot from one plant ... ha ha ... you would be spending around $500.00 per grow on their nutes. In my honest opinion, AN is less in the nutrient business ... and more into the money business.

There are more simple ways and much less expensive ways to grow hydro and get stellar results.

You can use a two-part General Hydrophonics plan:

Just buy a bottle of GH Micro (brown) and a bottle of GH Bloom (red). Do not buy the GH Grow (Green).

0-5-10 for vegging.
0-8-16 for flowering.

Vegging: 0 grow/5ml Micro/10ml Bloom Flowering: 0 Grow/8ml Micro/16ml Bloom

Simpler yet is what I use now:

Pure Blend Pro. Use 15ml per gallon of RO water for vegging.
Use 15ml per gallon of RO water, plus 5ml of CalMag for flowering.

You can buy both the PBP "Grow" and the "Bloom." Use the "Grow" during vegging and the "Bloom" during flowering. OR ... you can just do as a friend of mine does and use the "Bloom" for both vegging and flowering. Now, before you say it won't work, my friend grows some of the tastiest pot I've ever smoked ... and he does it consistantly.

Vi

I am running soil. I am very interested in hydro for the future, possibly the next grow even. I will give them a shot. thanks again.

I have taken six female cannabis plants from seed to harvest quite a few
times since I set up my grow room. I used to grow 100% organic, using Iguana
Juice
Grow and Bloom, plus some root colonizers and bloom enhancers from
Advanced Nutrients Medical.

I know other medpot patients who grow their own using other products. I can
safely say that the size of my plants, buds, and harvests are much larger
than theirs. All you have to do is compare the products suggested by others
on this forum and the Advanced Nutrients ferts and supplements put forth by
me.

Feed plant A with their products and plant B with the Advanced Nutrient
products, backed by their 100% money back guarantee. I guarantee you that
plant B will win out every time!

I am not shilling for anyone. I firmly believe this because I've seen it
with my own eyes and I've tasted my buds with my own senses. It's not only
the sense of taste that evaluates good weed; it's also your sense of smell
and your sixth sense, which is you intuition.

My gut tells me that the Advanced products are superior. My mind tells me
the same thing. They are backed up by years of research and development,
conducted by six Ph.D.'s who are on staff at Advanced Nutrients. Other
participants on this board are putting forth ferts designed for tomatoes to
grow pot.

Advanced Nutrients Medical makes fertilizers that are species specific,
suited especially for the genetics of the cannabis plant. See for yourself,
don't take my word for it.

We don't have to take this debate onto a personal level. I do not claim that
you don't know what you're talking about. I am merely saying that my
experience is different. If you're happy with your generic products, so be
it.

Peace,
Wes

Wes, I've tried the AN for several crops and the results were nothing special.

Except I spent 8 times as much money.

I will say something good about AN, they have great marketing.

i started growing using GH but a friend recemended me try using advanced nutrients.all the products were a bit pricy i used these nutes for about 2 crops and wasnt very satisfied for the price i paid so now im back with general hydroponics.and wes AN isnt the only nutrients out there that are "specified" for growing marijuana with years of research.almost all hydroponics nutes are for marijuana and can be used in soil as well.i do recomend floranova grow and bloom for new or novice growers tho i simply just followed the ratio on the bottle and my ph is always what it should be and my plants seem to love the nutes.i also use dark energy and supernova as additives so it might be them too

i dont reccomend AN to anyone.

Oddly enough, I stopped into the hydro store the other day and the AN rep was there. I was introduced to the rep by the store owner as "The only guy in the world who has failed when using AN nutes." Now if that wasn't rude, I don't know what rude is! Anyway, I asked the rep why AN mislabels the ppm on their labels. He asked me what I was talking about. So I told him that I just started a new cycle and was vegging with AN Bloom part A&B. At the amount I used, the label said my ppms should be right at 800 ... and the actual reading came out to be 1280. He said that was impossible. So, I asked the store owner (who uses AN) if he had any opened A&B Bloom. He got the opened bottles and we drew some water from his RO unit. BWAaaa! Came right out to 1280 ppm. Lesson learned here guys is ... if you are going to fall for the AN hype, reduce the suggested amounts on the labels by 1/3.

hey wes...seriously man are you a sales rep for AN?...not trying to offend you or anything but you are really pushing the an products...i've used an, as a matter of fact i used AN's bud blood to induce flowering, and overdrive around the 4th-5th week of flowering, i did get nice buds but i didn't see anything dramatic that would make me stop using FF, i ended up selling it to a friend of mine for half of what i paid for it. that was my personal experience with AN.

Awesome post guys. I was kind of sold on the AN but after reading this I pretty confused which nute to use as GH is quite expensive too! And we don't have much options in Australia for the awesome range of hydroponic nutrients too

. I'm currently using "DM one" for veg which will be the very last time as it not only pongs like shit I was turned off DM as their so called bigbud product was recalled and prior to this happening the Dutch Master sales rep stating that it's the best nute on earth today! lol

I'm using worm castings all the way through. My plants were attacked by squirrels, so they're lagging a bit in growth, but they healed themselves quickly. I have lots of container plants growing outside as well and all my flowers are going crazy. I have been told (and would like more opinions on this, please) that worm castings are all the fertilizer you need all the way through. If my other plants are any indication, the stuff is gold.
