Fox Farm Trio to Advanced Nutrients (Soil)

I realize there's bunch of threads regarding AN I don't feel like going through pages of it, all I'm looking for is a quick reference as to what to buy from AN to replace the trio. There's so many options, I'm confused. Thanks for the help.

grow big will get you through veg and tiger bloom will get you through flower. If you see any yellowing in flower, then add a little grow big back into the mix. You don't NEED the big bud, but it's decent stuff. Pretty much just guano and kelp. A TON of "organic based" fertilizers (fox farm, botanicare, biobizz, etc) just have salts, kelp, and wormcastings in there.

you don't need all 3 of their powdered bloom boosters. you can just buy the beastie bloomz. better yet, just buy monopotassium phosphate, because its the exact same thing but without the pretty packaging and excessive markup.

jungle juice is super cheap and works great. forget all the other b.s

Strictly speaking I don't think there's a direct substitute for the trio. Fox Farm's trio is a soil-specific liquid fertilizer, and their hydroponic version of it is just a marginally cleaner running version of the same thing I still wouldn't let anywhere near a real hydroponic system IMHO. Unless you just really enjoy cleaning pumps and such.

Anyway, I'm guessing you're in soil based on the title. If you're outdoors I'd suggest checking out videos on YouTube. Tehre's a guy that goes by "Brown Dirt Warrior" on there, he grows with Advanced Nutrients Heavy Harvest. That's the way to go outdoors in soil, I'd say.

Indoors I'd go with what chuck said - Jungle Juice. Honestly, I'd go hydroponic if you're indoors. Dirt inside the house never really seemed all that awesome to me but hey, if you like it I'm not gonna say you're wrong. Different strokes and all that. Jungle Juice is a 2 or 3 part (they just came out with the 2 part version) base nutrient that will get your plants what they need. If you want to go a little more than that, get some Big Bud for flowering. I wouldn't recommend getting anything more than that, at least not until you see how you like the Advanced Nutrients line.
