That works in theory, unless the cheap crap you used screws up your grow. I've seen that happen all too often to recommend it. You don't need the most expensive of whatever, but you need enough quality that it helps to avoid problems rather than create them. Especially when you're a new grower...

We all know there are only two kinds of people on this forum: those who fanatically hate Big Mike, and Big Mike. Right? There just couldn't be any other kind of person... You know, like maybe people that don't give a rat's ass or perhaps people who use Advanced Nutrients and don't religiously...

I’ve been using NFT with Advanced Nutrient products, I use. Sensi Bloom A & B, Voodoo Juice, Piranha, Big Bud, Nirvana, Overdrive, Bud Factor X, Bud Candy. The way the plants look at the end of the cycle are big and sticky, getting a gram per watt. One of the biggest things I do is change...

That's not entirely true. First up, look at the chart. No really, look at it. Check out the section labeled "Bigger Yields Growing System" - the veg part. Somewhere in there you'll see that it lists base nutes should be given at 1ml/L for seedlings/clones, 2ml/L for small plants, and 4ml/L for...

So this buddy of mine was telling me that there was a kind of mob thing at Spannabis like yesterday or something. He said that so many people were trying to get in on the give-away promo thing that Advanced Nutrients was doing that their whole booth just kind got overrun. I don't think anyone...

I'm with you on this patlpp... the math isn't adding up. Maybe he's only got one part of the pH Perfect? He says he added 4ml/L, but of what? Part A? Part B? Both? Filtered 5 times? After mixing? Before? If he's getting the water to come out at 5.6 after "filtering" and then he's adding base...

Listen to patlpp - he's teh one giving good advice. Do NOT try to pH your water. "It's not going to do it in the medium. Ph perfect or not." is wrong. That's exactly what pH Perfect does. Also, it's not true that pH Perfect doesn't make your nutrient solution the correct pH. It does. It ALSO...

I would say it depends. Container growing outside would lend itself more to liquid fertilizers, though if you get a lot of rain that could wash away nutrients before the plants can use them. In the ground there's even less to prevent the liquid nutes from seeping away from the root zone of...

The rule of thumb I learned was to use nutrients every other watering when you're working with soil (either in pots or in the ground). So basically you water the plants with plain water once, feed once, water, feed, water, feed, etc. Each time they need more water, you just alternate between...

It depends on the size of your plants. If they're seedlings you'd want to use quarter strength at most. It also depends on the strain, some need more nutes than others. How much light you have plays a role. No one can tell you how much to feed your plants, and that goes for the nutrient...

That's the key, isn't it? You can use a hammer to hammer in nails all day long but if you're holding it by the wrong end you're going to think that hammers suck at their job. I wonder how many haters out there were simply using the tools wrong and came to the false conclusion that the tools...

If that were true, I could not easily and happily grow start to finish on nothing but AN base nutes. Which I not only CAN do, but HAVE done. Thus it's clearly false. "You will get better results using an all in one or a complete nutrient line." All sweeping generalizations are false. (See...

Wait, so you're saying that because a big company focused on mass-producing a cheap fertilizer doesn't include a certain ingredient in their one-size-fits-all product, that this is somehow proof that the ingredient isn't beneficial? That's BS. All that's proof of is that the ingredient probably...

Saying that AN contributed to a brown slime problem is like saying wood contributed to a fire. They're nutrients. Of course they provided nutrition to a microbial growth. The way you don't have a problem with slime is by not having slime - not by using one brand over another. It wouldn't...

My ladies would beg to differ. I'm paying less per ounce dry weight and getting better quality bud since I switched to AN. If you like Canna better that's great, but I'll stick with my AN.
