Hey everybody,

I'm on my first grow, everything is going way smoother than I thought it would, life is great! :joint: Now being new to all of this, I made the mistake of assuming that the guy selling me my nutrients knew what he was talking about, but I think after all he might just be a good stoner, and not grower lol...

I opted to use the Advanced nutrients 3 part "PH perfect" system.

Now I was told by the salesman that for the first two weeks of the plants life to use the "GROW" part, after two weeks to use the "MICRO" part, and then once I start flowering to use the "BLOOM" part. He definitely told me to only use one at a time.

I had a friend with more experience come over to help me diagnose why my plants had starting spotting necrosis and he confirmed that it was most likely a phosphorous deficiency, which seems really likely. He also said that the MICRO GROW AND BLOOM should all be used at the same time, or else I would be leading myself to major headaches with deficiencies...

So the final question is, can anyone confirm whether I should be using all three per feeding, or if I should be using the three different parts in three different stages?

Thank you very much for reading this, hope life's treating you great!

Use them at the same time, in a 1-1-1 ratio. You don't need to be switching ratios. AN nutrients schedule suggests 1-1-1 ratio. Also you don't need to use them at full strength either if you don't want to, I did a grow starting with 0.5 ml/l at week 2 from seed, then started increasing the dose by 0.5ml/l each week,
eg. Week 2 --> 0.5ml/l
Week 3 --> 1 ml/l
Week 4 ---> 1.5 ml/l
Week 5 ---> 2 ml/l
Week 6 --> 2.5ml/l
Week 7 --> 3 ml/l
Week 8 --> 3.5 ml/l
Flower
I did 3.5 ml/l all the way to week 6 then stopped feeding.
And I got good results, without any trouble nutrient related along the way.
Just remember not to let the pot sit in the runoff
Edit: in the back of the bottles says to mix Micro first, then add Grow next, finally add Bloom in that order.
