Advanced Nutients

Ok so here's the deal... I am now on my 4th real grow, I used a full line of GH products on each grow and my results were good.. I grew 16 plants under 2 1000w lights and the product turned out good, Fat buds that were very stoney and danky... I made a few extra bucks and I went out and bought Advanced Nutrient products and I must say all my plants in this grow are doing way better, I am actually concerned that I am going to run out of space,,, Everything is at least twice as big as they were in this stage during my last grow.... All I can say is WOW... I spent about $200.00 for nutients last time and the way I figure the AN products will cost me around $100.00 more... If I even get 25% more this grow the AN nutes paid for themselves 10 times over... I am wondering if others have experienced these results? I know people are going to say I could make my nute's myself a lot cheaper, But listen I am just a regular dude who likes things easy... I am no botanist, I am just a stoner looking for a easy way to get the best bud possible and these people have made it easy on me.... Ok SO what do you all think?

If you actually used the GH line properly, you wouldn't just get good results, you'd get amazing results.

right on ... why dose everyone act like they have to say "sorry" for using AN ???? I am starting with AN products and hope to find my own homemade equals ... somewhere down the road... if its the best, then I wont find an equal, testing is what I plan to do... I have not read anyone having to use the money back gaurentee either. The ph down is a 100% quality product, very potent and worth the money, just FYI . I have a big selection of nutes and additives , so far so good. FYI = AN Bud Candy is also Carbo Load all in one! AN looks fricken good to me so far! thanks

A man's gotta know his limits..that's a lot of bread to be to be spending, but if it's working, then keep on keepin on. I will say that the alfalfa/worm casting/kelp tea I made for my flowering plants rivaled any bottled "supertonic" I've ever bought. But that's messy, and smelly, and you may not want to be bothered with it. I love the results though

What AN products are you using specifically? I just use their Phirana, Tarantula and Carbo load....The carbo load isn't anything special...when I finish the bottle I'm going back to molasses, It's cheaper and a hell of a lot better...My base is RO with Open Sesame, Beastie BLoom and Cha Ching....

The only person you should be apologizing to is yourself for falling for their ridiculous marketing.

I respectfully disagree. I used GH for a whole year and I always noticed GH is very quick to salt up. went back to AN and salt build up vanished. this was in DWC and the salt build up from the GH was obvious in the form of pink crystals all over the root ball. Didn't exactly harm the plants much but the problem absolutely evaporated when i went back to AN nutes. I think GH are starting to skimp on the chelating agents. Maybe because of a drop in profits from all the new companies releasing nutrient lines.

Actually, i think the chimps from the PG Tips ad's are releasing a nutrient line too soon. so look out for that one.

AN are quality, so long as they keep up with that quality i'll always give them a thumbs up.

My own experience coincides with biggun. Since changing to AN two grows ago, I have been impressed in both hydro and dirt. Plants are huge and extremely healthy.

That works for me as well. ^^^^^^^^^^

Alfalfa meal--$17/50#bag
Kelp meal--$10/5#bag
Worms--$27/1ib red wrigglers I now have 2 bins and 2 buckets going (they breed like crazy), and as much WC as I need.

Add some more $$$$ for totes (worm bins), buckets and air pump, you are still under $100 for the finest nutes there is.

It IS messy, smelly and a pain in the butt. It is also cheap and better quality than anything in a bottle, even the stupidly expensive AN.

We are only on our first grow, and were using FF Nutes to veg and start flower. We switched over to AN because we just wanted a simple plan we could follow and trust. From the first 24 hours of changing the res, we noticed a BIG difference!! We cannot wait to see what an entire grow using AN will look like!
Yes they are pricey, but so far the results are outstanding!!

Judge for your self... these were taken on Day 44 of Flower and 1 week after introducing Overdrive. The trichome production has doubled!!

Advanced Nutrients all the way!!

Would someone post some pics of some product grown with AN so it can shut guys like me up? For all the money, marketing and hype, you'd think there would be some extraordinary photos floating around here, lets see 'em.

AN has a lot of over-priced mumbo-jumbo and a lot of "additives" that I've heard mixed results from. But when you are talking base nutrients, I'll take AN's Sensi Bloom A and Sensi Bloom B over anyone else's bloom product. $20 a liter ain't that bad, and I've only seen amazing results (I've only heard good things as well, never a bad Sensi A/B review yet).

Yes AN has a lot of overpriced stuff, but most of it works. My advice, use Sensi Bloom A/B, then hand pick a few additives. Different strains, grows, mediums, etc need different things; find a couple that work for you (Piranha, Rhino Skin, Bud Factor-X, Sensizyme, etc).

Personally, I like Nirvana, Kushie Kush, and Sensizyme. I use my own molasses mix for carbs and use a locally brewed bat guano/worm casting/kelp tea. I'd love to try a few of the other AN products, but like so many have mentioned before, it's pricey. Next harvest, I'm definitely picking up the Connoisseur A and B line and MAYBE Voodoo juice; not sure I'm ready to drop $100 on a liter of it yet.

Here are a few of my last harvest grow with Advanced Nutrients. I used Sensi Bloom A/B, Kushie Kush, Nirvana, and Scorpion Juice (replaced by Bud Factor X, but I haven't tried that stuff, it's nearly triple the price).

Don't bother with the voodoo juice. you're doing great already and your special tea is enough to replace voodoo juice. save your cash.

That's classic. Hey, money is in abundance right now, so get the whole line! Collect 'em all! Trade 'em with your friends!

There it is, right there. Does growing this weed need to be any more complicated than emulating Mother Nature? When you do nothing but water your plants for 3 or 4 weeks, and they continue to thrive like no bottled nute every could (and I've bought just about all of them), you will never be the same again. And neither will the quality of your bud.

You've never seen an AN ad in a magazine or on the Interwebs? Can you even read? You obviously can't spell and your grammar is subpar, so I guess I nailed it; you can't read.

so you think that unavailable nutrients are actually better for plants than available ones? Or even nutrients that need to be broken down first are actually better for plants than ones that are instantly available?

it is more complicated than emulating mother nature, just like farming any crop. The biggest abusers of artificial fertilizers are the actual crop farmers, real crop farmers that grow barley, corn and maize. try telling them just to leave it to mother nature. Fertilization of the land begins right away...

I agree with you that a better understanding of nature needs to be gained. However Nature is not perfect for growing plants... of course it isn't. there are too many other things that nature has to take care of too. We can take care of plants much better than nature ever could because we can give them ideal conditions. Nature is simply an environment, when we grow indoors we become nature. in fact we become a Nature that only cares about the life of one thing, the plant we are growing.

Yes AN are expensive but so are a lot of other companies and at least with AN they use high quality chelates to keep the nutrients actually usable by plants. AN are reliable.


what is needed is not one or the other (organic or synthetic) but a perfect melding of the two exactly what LEDGrowking is doing. I'm pretty sure he's done that by instinct too, used common sense... and in so doing he's actually providing the perfect balance between synthetic and organic growing. this also applies to coco growers and even hydro growers too.

they can all get more organic.
