I've always loved Big Bud for growing, but I haven't tried to combine it with nutes from other brands. I think you should totally try it out, but I might suggest calling up the AN customer service line, since they have a better grasp on how to work all of these things together. Sorry for not...

The trick with mixing nutrients between brands is that you can overdo the nutrients. Personally, I've found it easier to stick with one brand and then you know how to mix everything so you don't overnute your grow. I would suggest using a soil that doesn't already have nutrients in it, no...

Can't wait to see what you're cooking up. Good luck!

Pics! Pics! Pics!

Well, here's what my experience has been. Yes, using more products can help to refine your grow and make it even better, but to what end? If you're growing for yourself, then go for the basic setup with the Hobbyist bundle. This will give you super results, without costing you mucho dinero...

Yes pics please? I can't wait to see this one in action

Here's a crazy idea - let's answer the original poster's question instead of giving the AN hate. That's not helpful. Hey dude - go to the calculator on the AN website. It will give you the right direction.

Really? I think there are guidelines on RIU that prevents 12-year-olds from posting. LOL

Looking good. Always fun to hear from newer folks, and how they learned from the past. It helps all of us remember the best way to care for our grows.

Huh. To me, it looks like some things were cut together to make it look one way. I don't know about anyone else, but I rarely believe what I see on these 'expose' videos anymore. AN works for me, and until I have proof that this is actually true, then I'll rethink my growing decision. Until...

I'm not sure I would use any of those, cuz I'm happy with AN's lineup. I'm curious to hear about other folks experiences with these. Not sure they've ever been on my radar.

Personally, the advice I'd give to a beginner is to use the bundles from AN. The Hobbyist bundle includes Sensi A&B Grow and Bloom, Voodoo Juice, Big Bud, B-52, and Overdrive. Pretty easy to use!

The strips are fairly accurate. Though it depends on the brand you use how easy it is to see the pH changes...

Yes, less is more. I hate it when people oversell stuff. You have to be suspicious about that when anyone tries to sell you more and more things. But...really, it's your fault if you pull out your cash. But, come on, it's not AN's fault - it's just a salesperson who knows they're going to...
