    Advanced Nutrients Yield BLUE DREAM

    Your math is flawed. Unless you're talking about the yield you get after 3-5 weeks of veg (no flowering) the 40% figure is WAY off. Say it's 8 weeks to flower. Then you're talking 11 weeks (3+8 ) or 13 weeks (5+8 ). That means we're talking about 13 divided by 11, or 1.181818... 18% increase in...

    A few things: First up, you might want to be more realistic in your expectations for response time. You fire off three additional posts in the span of just a few hours expressing impatience and disbelief that no one has replied to your original post. Give it several hours at least before you...

    General Hydroponics Nutrient > FloraDuo Grow

    It looks like they're trying to cash in on the two-part market now that Jungle Juice has both a 2 and 3 part version. I guess they haven't reverse engineered the formula properly yet.

    General Hydroponics Question

    I'm kind of surprised that he'd give you that advice without really explaining it properly. It's the Lucas Formula that he's talking about (named after the grower that created it). Not mentioning that could lead someone to think he's not giving proper credit for the idea. I'm not saying that's...

    Do you use PH Perfect? If so, I have a CalMag question.

    The reason for it is pretty simple: they can't know what comes out of your tap. Every municipal water source is a little different from all the others. So they say that they only guarantee pH Perfect to work with RO water because even though it does seem to work with most tap water, it doesn't...

    How do you use Advanced nutrients PH Perfect?

    ru4r34l - if you were having problems at lower concentrations that may be related to a problem of lower concentration or it might have been caused by something else. Since cultiv8 and others - myself included - haven't had any problems at strengths down to 1ml/L (according to the chart) it...

    advance nutrient grows and "PH" perfect nutrients

    It's nice to see folks being decently cool about brands. It seems like way too often people get like personally invested in labels and really judgmental about it. Different growers have different needs and expectations. That's cool. Nothing works for everyone. I mean sure, as a fellow...

    Fox Farm Bush Doctor Boomerang anybody use?

    I haven't seen this in stores yet, have you? It looks like Fox Farms is trying to expand their line to keep up with Advanced Nutrients. I'm not sure I'd want to be the first to test this out.

    DYNA GROW IS > (greater than) ADVANCED NUTRIENTS

    True. I would temper this to say "Synthetic nutes do not necessarily kill benes." I'm fairly certain that if you run them hot enough you will kill beneficial microbes faster than you can replace them, but at those levels you'll probably burn the crap out of your plants anyway. The reason most...

    Advanced Nutrients Heavy Harvest, soil, any good?

    Nice to see people with basic reading comprehension skills. How's he going to control temperature/humidity and lighting in an outdoor grow, genius? Like the guy suggesting Peters or Flora series. Apples to frikkin' oranges. Heavy Harvest is a time-release fertilizer specifically developed for...

    Please help newbie with fox farm nutrient chart for soil!!!

    Just ignore him. That's the worst thing you can do to someone with an ego like that. He does it for the attention; to feed the swollen, undulated blob of false self-worth. I mean just imagine what would happen if I were to mention that I'm a hard-core hydroponic user that runs nothing but...

    Fox Farm, Advanced Nutrients, General Hydro, Botanicare... OH MY

    Sales pitch? Where do you see a sales pitch? You guys are attacking something that isn't even there. "Switching from Fox Farm to GH, doesn’t sound great. I haven’t tried out GH product. But I really like whenever I use advanced nutrients product. I’m an irregular grower, but...

    Is Fox Farm Organic?

    This isn't actually true, but it all stems around the definition of "organic" you want to use. Ammonium nitrate is a naturally occurring chemical that is formed by a chemical reaction between ammonia and nitric acid. Both of which are naturally occurring substances in soil. The buzzword...

    Starting with Advanced Nutrients (for soil)

    Really nice pictures! I haven't used AN's pH Perfect line in soil unless you count pouring my waste nutes into the veggie garden when I do a res change, but in my hydroponics it's be really fantastic. The only thing I would point out is that in Asmallvoice's example of feeding one day, then...

    do i need cal-mag with advanced nutrients?

    Highest to lowest N isn't a bad way to do it, but it's a tad oversimplified. If you want a single rule to follow, that's a good one. The one thing I would say, is to always add Micro first. In the three-part it's the one that has the highest concentration of "does not play well with others"...

    ph perfect top ups / watering

    I would just point out that all the people talking about "you should pH your water/nutes every time" aren't paying attention. --->> Advanced Nutrient pH Perfect nutes. <<-- Everyone see that? Okay, you don't have to pH them. You just don't. Maybe if your water isn't RO and its particularly...

    Dutch Masters "Reverse?

    In theory the phospholipids Reverse uses to do this would halt the development of male flowers, or at least significantly inhibit it in a strictly male plant. It might be interesting to see what effect this would have on a purely male plant but it certainly wouldn't make it female. The way it...

    Is Fox Farm Organic?

    We could talk for thousands of pages about what exactly is or isn't "organic", how organic "organic" really is, and so on but I really don't want to get into all that. It's a big philosophical debate. The short version is that the most widely-accepted standards for somethign being "organic"...

    If you're buying a ton of expensive stuff and not getting results, that's just dumb. Something is clearly wrong and needs fixed. However, there's nothing wrong with spending more money on nutrients if you're seeing proportionally more in return. Bottom line: you spend X to grow Y. If you're...
