As for mixing things up, I think you're okay with doing it, so long as you're ready to watch your plants. I wouldn't just add a bunch of nutes and then go on vacation for a week. When I use the Advanced Nutrients Hobbyist lineup, I use Big Bud and Bud Candy, so I think you'll be fine with...

Yes, you can't just read the package and assume everything is right. You need to listen to your plants and see what they do when you give them the nutes. Personally, I've found the Sensi A&B is a better choice than the Grow-Micro-Bloom, but if you want to use the three part system, use less...

First of all, think positively. When you say that it's a waste of time or money, it sounds like you've already made up your mind. LOL. Give it a chance to impress you, ya know? Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy is a great nutrient, in my opinion. I've found that when I started using this, my...

You know, this confused me for a long time. And then I took a look around the Advanced Nutrients site and I see that the nutrients are pH-PPM perfect formulated. So, the products themselves are created in a way that is supposed to support not checking your pH or PPM all the time. Now, do I...

I think the best lineup you can get these days is: Sensi A&B - flowering and growing Voodoo Juice - flowering Big Bud - flowering B-52 - flowering and growing Overdrive - flowering and growing While that's the basic setup for the Hobbyist, I think adding some Bud Candy is a good idea too...

Ah, advertising. Just in time for Black Friday. LOL

I'm sure you could get things like Miracle Gro or other cheapo nutes at your local hardware store. But would you really want to smoke weed that's grown with crap nutes? I wouldn't. All those low quality chemicals make your weed taste like a#% and they aren't designed to help with MJ growing...

agreed. The lightest feeding schedule for nutrients is always the best way to go. It's always easier to add more if your plants want more, but it's much harder to remove nutrients if you've added too much. Start low, slowly build up, and then you'll be set. While I know it seems like pretty...

If you have to choose a nutrient lineup that works consistently, check out Advanced Nutrients. They have a nutrient calculator on their website www.advancednutrients.com that will help you with the amounts you need to use. It all depends on what you want to do with your grow. :bigjoint:

WOW - this is a great thread and really something that will help newbies who are using Advanced Nutrients. Really - it's the best nute lineup, especially when you know how to use it.

Yeah, I've heard of some guys around me who have been using Kushie Kush for their medical grows and they're really psyched by what they're seeing. Some of the medical co-ops around here are saying that marijuana grown with Kushie Kush is selling better and working better for patients - that's...

That's good that you know that too many nutes can be confusing - that totally makes sense. I personally am switching to the Sensi A&B base nute formula on my next grow since it's much simpler with two bottles. And it's really a formula that includes everything you need - micronutrients...

Hmm. This is an interesting take on the nutrients. I'm not sure I completely agree because (from my experience), what works out on paper doesn't always happen in real life. Numbers are based on the perfect growing conditions, and I don't know about you, but my growing conditions are not 100%...

I'm no scientist, but the site says this: In Sensi A&B: In addition, the following micronutrients are 100% chelated: Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Molybdenum, Copper, Boron and Cobalt... which of course means... your plants more easily absorb and use these nutrients-giving you bigger buds and more...

Holy beejezus. I would have spaced it out a bit more. I mean, I get why you don't want to work too hard when you come on the boards, but if you want to help others out, then you need to space things out. LOL

Hmm, if I were you, I would wait to see how things are going at 5 weeks and then make the decision then to go on or not. I mean, if your plants need more time, then why not give it to them? If you want good results, sometimes you need to be patient.....

Hmm, for flowering, I'm a fan of Big Bud and Bud Blood. I think that's where you should start. They'll boost your plants during that stage and really bring you to the end with a bang. You could always use more things, but start out with just a few from Advanced Nutrients and I think that will...

Yup - I really like the Micro-Grow-Bloom too since it seems to work better for my plants. I've used the Sensi too, but if I had to choose just one to use for the rest of my grows, it would be the Grow-Micro-Bloom. Totally great nutes and they work well consistently... Nice thread here....

This is looking good - very interesting to watch here. Not ever been a fan of screwing with the way the plants grow by trimming them or tying them up, but looks like things are working for you.

Stu - What you need to keep in mind is that when you ask for opinions, you're going to get some you don't like. Ah, that's the way of it. Honestly, though, the boards are really for the questions you've already looked to answer, but you can't find the answer on your own. No one should be...
