    Advanced nutrients ph perfect + fox farm 3 part grainual solubles schedule idea

    I've never been a big fan of Fox Farm myself. As pickitlickit said there's a unique taste caused by some of their products that I just don't like. That said, as long as the additives don't throw off the balance too far they should, at least theoretically, work with the pH Perfect base nutes...

    Simple Advanced Nutrients & Fox Farm Question.

    Yes you can use them both, there's no reason you can't. It may however be difficult. They're both bloom boosters so I wouldn't use them both at the same time. For example, Tiger Bloom probably compares most closely with Advanced Nutrients Big Bud. Now on AN's feeding schedule you stop using...

    Advanced NUtrients is CHEAPER than GH...

    Actually you should have said that you're left with smaller yields and poor plant health compared to other nute brands you've used. I don't have that problem. Not everyone experiences the same difficulties you seem to have with Advanced Nutrients. As for the reasons I don't post pictures...

    Advanced Nutrients PM/PPM Perfect is Awesome!

    I hope you're in soil if you're using molasses. In my experience it can be a little harder to see the benefits of AN if you're using their hydro nutes in soil because you're working with an unknown quantity of nutrients already in the soil. In hydroponics though you can really step on the gas...

    AN is well worth it IMHO.

    Anyone using Advanced Nutrients full Grandmaster line?

    People exactly like me? No more like me than they are like you. I don't tell people they have to buy one brand over another. I tell people only that I've personally had better experience with one thing or another. I don't run around telling people that everyone who uses a particular product...

    Advanced NUtrients is CHEAPER than GH...

    The reason for that seems pretty clear to me. People frequently compare AN's Grow/Micro/Bloom three parter to GH's. So this is AN's way of showing that not only are the two quite different, but that if they copy GH's formula they can do it a lot cheaper than GH does. Not for me. This is the...

    Advanced Nutrients in Fox Farm Soil!

    Yes, Fox Farm soils have nutrients in them. They might make a soil-less mix that doesn't, but I'm not sure. All their popular soils have nutes. As such you have to be very careful adding more nutes. The Fox Farm soils don't have enough nutrients in them on their own (which is how they sell...

    Anyone using Advanced Nutrients full Grandmaster line?

    Hey NoBarriers, don't let the negativity get you down. Unfortunately you get used to it after awhile (if you haven't already). The internet allows everyone to voice their opinion if they want to, and if you can say it often enough you can build the appearance that you know what you're talking...

    Advanced NUtrients is CHEAPER than GH...

    Your local store's price is determined a lot by how much it costs to ship it. I can get it cheaper than that locally. Also, that link you provided DOES have (at least when I looked) an option to buy it for less than $10. It just costs more than that with shipping. The $19.24 you're looking...

    Advanced Nutrients Ripping off GH and everyone else

    People that want to hate Advanced Nutrients will always find a reason to hate Advanced Nutrients. This is the way I see it: People complain that AN sells "the same thing" as GH and charges more. Rawr! They mad! They hate! Rawr! So Advanced Nutrients says "let's show people that if we...

    Anyone using Advanced Nutrients full Grandmaster line?

    Saying someone lost their crop because they switched to AN is like saying someone crashed their car because they changed to a different brand of gasoline. It's nothing but finding something to blame aside from operator error. Thousands of people grow every day with AN and get great results, or...

    Advanced Nutrients: Is it Worth it?

    What's with the voice? Is it supposed to be sexy or make me sleepy? The plant isn't bad for a PC case grow, but it's not making me want to try the yellow bottles (which I've done already and was not impressed with).

    Indoor Gardening Expo... did you go?

    I can't say I went, but you got me curious so I did some looking online and the only article I could find was this one: http://bigbudsmag.com/grow/article/maximum-yield-marijuana-hypocrisy-july-2011 It's curious that there's so little discussion about it. Expo's are usually big news.

    Advanced Nutrients: Is it Worth it?

    Conni can be tricky to dial in. At least for me there is a definite improvement with Connoisseur but Sensi is a lot easier to use. I think it's dead on but obviously not everyone does. Everyone I know with an education in horticulture or related disciplines agrees that you need a...

    Miracle Grow

    Not sure if I like the sound of Scott's throwing their hat into the MMJ ring. People who don't know better complain about AN being a big soulless company (they're really small compared to most) but they're incredibly small potatoes compared to a juggernaut like Scott's. They have a horrible...

    Advanced Nutrients: Is it Worth it?

    NPK ratios high in Phosphorus are throwbacks to dirt farming. In the ground you need the high P because it washes out of the rootzone with every rain. In hydroponics you're just giving the plants way too much Phosphorus. I know Homebrewer will call it BS because he hates all things Advanced...

    Lost In A Sea Of Nutrients? Advanced Nutrients, Canna etc.

    Simply assuming that would worry me no more makes it so than any of the other things you assume to be true because they fit your perceptions.

    Anyone Seen the New Advanced Nutrients "badass" Ballast Yet?

    There's a lot very wrong and very confusing about this. So you're saying that the human eye can't distinguish between the light output of a bulb in a non-side-by-side comparison between different ballasts? Color me shocked. Even if we can't tell the difference side-by-side that doesn't mean...

    Lost In A Sea Of Nutrients? Advanced Nutrients, Canna etc.

    If you're not aware of and/or won't acknowledge the scientifically proven impact of personal bias on the scientific process there really isn't any reason to continue the conversation. What could I possibly have to be worried about?
