    Beneficial Microbes: Companion, Bio-Link Plus, Piranha, Tarantula - what's best?

    I am a big AN fan....and will use them from now on. Roy in tech at AN told me that pirahna and voodoo juice used in conjunction is their best bet for beneficial microbes. I have also heard that GH is pretty much identical to AN and alot less pricey.

    ppm Confusion

    Wow....I really believed all hydro growers watched TDS. Huh. Anyway...I am using AN 3 part (micro, grow, bloom) as well as their big bud, bloom booster and carbo load. I am growing in rockwool. I flushed yesterday and the run off ppm was 843....res ppm was 778. I have nute burn on many leaf...

    ppm Confusion

    I have not had a ppm meter for some time and have been feeding based on AN's nute calculator and my plants needs. I just changed my res for week 2 of flowering and 3 days in from that change I am seeing nute burn. So, fine I'll flush and lessen nutes. But, I got a ppm pen today, and my ppm is...

    Not super important...but advice maybe would be nice

    I have a NL plant that is 13 days into flower, and showing NICE buddage already....quarter size and bigger. The only trouble is this.....she has always been stretchy. I tried to LST her in veg, and she broke.....I was easily able to salvage her. I was sure it was a male because she had been so...

    NFT / Flood & drain

    Well, I am into 12/12 on my first hydro grow, and they look delicious....I have used AN nutes and fed them 3 times a day for 15 minutes, and they have always been lush and green with no signs of overwatering or nute burn. So....this was the rule of thumb i was told...3xdailyx15 mins....and it is...

    Light during 12/12-a question....could I beg some advice??

    Well...I am 12 days into flowering, and things are looking really good, imo. I have not been going into the grow area during their dark times, but today I had to go in there and feel around for my wallet I left in there, and I decide to open the grow closet and take a smell.....and I noticed...

    Flowering day eleven~pIcS~

The two headed bitch in the corner is giving me fits......she got broken at about 4 weeks into veg and sprouted two main tops.....when we went to 12/12 she was 11" and the other 3 were 13".....now she is 34" and they are 25".....WTF!!! I am...

    Reservoir maintainence

    Righteous...thanks and rep to you guys! I use RO water, and generally right out of the bottle my pH is 5.2 and with 10mL of AN pH Up I hit 5.7 and it easily stays there a week. When I was testing my ppm's (before I dropped meter in res and left it there 6 hours..LOL) they were staying constant...

    Reservoir maintainence

    I have a 3x3 ebb & flow running off of a 40 gallon res. I started with 10 plants, and now have 4 healthy ladies left. I am using AN nutes. I completely change my res every Sunday....fresh RO water and nutes. I am exactly one week into flowering. Here are my questions..... 1) I have a 40 gallon...

    Seedling Growth...how To Stop It?

    Man, I just trained my plants to enjoy the light a little closer throughout the day (400w MH/HPS) and eventually they could take it pretty close (7-9") without stress or burn, and I have an ice plant that at 6 weeks old from seed was only 7 1/2" tall, 9 nodes, bushy as hell, .......started...

    Preflowering...sex traits

    So..I have a few plants and they went to 12/12 two days ago. I have been checking the nodes with my 30x loupe pretty regularly for the past week % 1/2 to check preflowers...but the truth is they all look the same. Today I checked them, and 2 have what looked to me previously like little balls...

    Advanced Nutrients

    just heard back from tech support at AN, and they said that if I am only using the 3 part by itself, then the directions on the bottle are what should be used (with reduced dosage for "certain sensitive plants") and the calculator is adjusted for the other additives.....they basically said to...

    Advanced Nutrients

    I have used the 3 part through veg as described on the bottle, starting 1/4 to 1/2 to 3/4 to full strength, and although I have never had nute burn, I have always felt that overfeeding was an issue, and I have had some claw leaves. I feed three times a day for 15 mins......3x3 ebb& flow, 10 veg...
