Homebrewer...I wanted to get your thoughts on Athena Nutrients and what you think about their NPK Ratio. I pretty much read all you posts during this time where I find myself at home more often than usual. I recently bought Athena Nutes and was told I could return them within a timely manner. During this time I decided to give Dyna Gro a shot and asked to return them and of course I was told sorry the owner said no. So I was thinking about doing a side by side. Wanted to see what you would recommend using 7 to 10 gallon smart pots in promix...Drain to waste? Thank you for your time.

Giving him the actual NPK ratio will help.

I still can't send private messages. I have been on this site for a while but just always read for knowledge. Now I am thinking to become a little more active. I have done a lot of side by sides but never shared them. I would like to talk to a couple well known members and get their blessing and run a couple side by sides that people may want to see.

Based on the responses so far, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna get a glowing recommendation for Athena Nutrients here. I can almost guarantee the person you're asking has not tried them, and has no interest in doing so.

The only thing inherently wrong with Big Bud is that a lot of experienced growers tend to dislike AN. You can use it from week 2-4 of flowering. The amount suggested on the bottle is probably too much. Based on 50ppm of Phosphorus being a sound dose, I suggest 200 ppm (or 0.4 EC) of Big Bud.

I had a cal mag deficiency in early flowering on this run. I went a little high (1.9 EC) to correct it, so I haven't used any early bloom boosters. I did increase the base ratio of PK in week 4, and now I've added 3ml/gal Top Booster for the first half of week 5. After that I may try a combo of MOAB/Kushie Kush. I noticed the ratio of KK at 1-3-8 is basically the same as the second iteration of Hammerhead, which was 2-4-10. The KK has less N though, which is good. Some people swear by the MOAB/Hammerhead combo, so I thought I'd try this before attempting to mix my own Hammerhead.
