I was looking at the all organic Iguana juice Bloom (by Advanced nutrients) and the Sensi bloom parts a&b also by advanced nutrients.
there prices are a bit high and there bloom formulas are strange
with sensi bloom part a at 4-0-3. but they claim to have the best groth results.

the nutrient challange?!?^^

Fox Farms
Grow Big 6-4-4
looks interesting
but the Big Bloom at 0.1-0.3-0.7
looks kinda mild
possibly the Tiger bloom at 2-8-4
will be what i need ??:leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

if you use fox farm. u have to use the whole line of products to get some bomb results.. big grow, big bloom, tiger bloom. those are the main three. then get the micro's cha-ching, beastey buds, and open sesame

I don't know if I'd trust any add thats made by Advance Nutes but i must say, that I've used Fox, Canna, Dutch, and General but none of them performed like Advanced. That stuff is just made for high performance. There's nothing out there like it. I don't work for them or anything like that, I just ran my own experiments and every time Advanced out performed the competition. You can try what you like but if your looking for the best, you'll go with the best. Its well worth the money but I don't use the coniseur. It makes the kids stretch to much.

I have just recently started using the fox farm line and I am impressed. I have never used advanced and maybe in the future will give it a go if it is what you say, I will check it out. I am also using some dutch master products and I am out about them yet will post later in use ???

both are way over priced. you are only paying for the name.
yes they work well but so do alot of others. i see alot of new people getting messed up from fox farm. the n/p/k levels are quite high.
have a look at botanicares pure blend pro line up. i use it and it`s great. the fox farm is organic based to not true organics if you care. probably the other one is to

i use a mix of both although if i could afford i probably use mostly advanced or canna because i have heard there products were tested and made specifically to grow cannabis. i like iguana juice in particular:leaf:

foxfarm dirt is organic but after that there line isnt so much the chaching, beasti bloom, and open sesame are not organic allthough they work alright, but id rather use gravity and snow storm both 100% organic

AN is great, had a chance to use the 3-part and Sensi before, I stopped growing, and I'll be back on that shortly.

you dont use the coniseur? so what do you recomend?
would you recomend Iguana juice? or the senisi grow and bloom ?
can both be used in soil?\And if you had to use a diffrent type of fert what would it be???
anything thats really easy to use?

??? If you are gonna flush your plants then why worry about what they are grown in , I mean do not let your imagination run on this one but fox farm works well and alot of farmers use it on there vegetables and they are not dieing from it haha so if you flush grow with what you know and hope to get huge nugs !!!!:fire: That is what I do ???

That's what I've found as well.

If you save some money at the store but end up with a smaller harvest, did you really save anything?

Sorry man! Been off for a while. I use the sensi grow and bloom with the whole 2+ feeding program. You gotta use the beneficial bacteria! You could use it in soil but I wouldn't. Try peatmoss and perlite, that way your soilless. If I chose a different type of fert, it would be the canna, or general hydro. They're all pretty easy to use if you've got a ppm meter. I always mix at 50% and then add til I hit the ppm I want for that stage of growth.

Beneficial bacteria is great for soil, but most places will already have a pretty good colony growing. In outdoor settings if you don't have beneficial bacteria you've probably got some problems with the whole soil web thing. If plants grow fine, you've got some beneficials already.

It wouldn't hurt to add some just in case, but you can't count on there being as huge an improvement as you'd see in hydroponics where there won't be any unless you add them.

Though if you're using potting soil or some other bagged soil from a store, you can't know for sure if there will be any beneficial microbes so it'd probably be good to add some yourself just to be sure. It's cheap enough it's better to add some when you don't need them than to not add them when you do.

I have use many nutes and seem to always come right back to Fox Farm.Its a great value produces excellent almost impossible to screw up the dosage not sure on the comment about new growers messing up fox farm as you d have to really just be pouring and guessing to do so. Advanced nutes are great but are better after you gain expirence and have room to handle a larger grow with bigger fuller plants. I also have used both lines of dutchmaster and had so so results. I find I get smaller nugs with dutchmaster and with fox farm I get larger fat colas in the 20 plus inch range . I also like to add to my 3 bottle fox farm nutes with beastie bloomz,ch ching, humbodlt counties gravity and purple maxx.I also tend to like to mix in Grotek super H2O2 and some Sweet to enhance the taste.Advanced is a great product but better with expirence and at the price you need to grow a larger amount to get your monies worth.

you were recomending peatmoss and perlite alone....
would that be a 50-50 ratio, any other soiless mixes you recomend?

otherwise im kinda broke so ide just be starting off with the sensi grow and bloom and with big bloom and possibly a carbo loader

the rest of the 2+ products will have to wait

but ill give this beneficial bacteria a look aswell

my friend wants to try going compleetly organic for some of the plants

Not 50/50. More like 75/25 in favor of the peat. Use dolomite lime also, it helps keep the ph in balance. There's a product called Sunshine Mix #4 thats pre mixed. Thats all I buy now, I use to mix it myself but with 136 plants harvesting every month, it makes it really hard. You can also try that coco fiber, rockwool, hydroton, etc. They all work great if you know what you're doing. If you're low on bread then I suggest the hydroton, its reuseable if you clean it.

Basicly, its whatever works for you as far as conveinence. I love rockwool but its hard to balance ph in that stuff. The sunshine works for me, find what works for you. Just keep experimenting til you find the right one for you.

Starting off with those nutes will be fine. Just remember to go at 50% of the recommended dosage and then use your ppm meter to fine tune your solution. Once you make some dough, by more nutes, equip, etc.

Good Luck!
