the only time i looked at the back of my AN bottles for guidance was the first time i used them. i had to find my own concoction. so the way i measure mine is by a ppm meter and the ratio ive finally figrued out that works for me. i do a 3-1.5-1 ratio g/m/b until its up to 1000...at this stage that is. honestly man people knock it a lot cuz of the salts that are produced and its potency, but iv got it under control and im seeing fantastic results just from the g/m/b from AN. i WILL be switching before i even finish my first bottles tho. Earth Juice is callin my name. AN is fine until you have some sort of deficiency that ur initial A&B formula cant fix. Then the bottle you'll need is like 80 dollars. which is craziness! hope this helps.

Thats why i switched to canna. 1/3 the price (cept there boost) but a LOT less additives. I used AN for a year and a half never really had a problem with them just that when i did run into a problem the additive to buy it cost a arm and a leg. Had a LOT of sucessfull grows with AN but the ph always seem to drift had to adjust it 2 3 times a day. Now i use canna i ph maybe once a week spends a lot less on the nutrients. And i seem to be having even better results with a LOT less additives/ And for the past year ive been using them i have seem to spend less time in my grow room because everything always seems to be on tract.

Dudes,

Everyone says AN is highly/overly priced. Then at the same time i hear it's totally super concentrated be careful or you'll burn your plants. So has anyone compare the price with respect to the amount of nute you have to use. For example I grow in 2 14Liter DWC's which I fill to 9L. According to the Adv Nute calculator I only need 36ml of my Sensi a+b, and 18ml of b-52 and of course VooDoo. So if I was using another nute would I use as lilttle? meaning the Adv nutrients would last longer?? And since we are not offending anyone like burning The Holy Qur'an, then why don't some of you anti AN folks kinda accept the fact that some of us "idiots" use AN...

I'm no AN advocate I just happened to buy this one while in the grow shop. And honestly it was because I saw so much An stuff I figured shit If I need anything at least I know where to get it!! So AN gets a 10 for getting their brand out there to the point that even new growers "trust" them from the beginning. Dude that's just capitalism at it's best, ask the kings of capitalism... The Chinese!!

Hey Dude,

i totally am there with you on following their instructions.. I'd swear they are on a mission to burn as many grows as possible.. I've been following their nutrient calculator recommendations "blindly". Until recently I hadn't splurged on a EC tester. And now that I have one (unless it's totally un-calibrated - which may be the case- I'll calibrate today after I buy the solution) their recommended EC is 2.6 and I'm @ 3.73. I so hope my tester is not calibrated properly. Nonetheless if it's not my plants are still looking good so I'm a bit perplexed about what to think at this point. I've gotta calibrate in order to be sure about anything. And this pH fluctuation is killing me. I'm gonna also buy an electronic pH tester today these drops fucking suck dude...

all nute companies are trying to make money, it's capitalism. They all have spendy stuff. AN has really low dilution rates. I'm using Aurora Innovations and the dilution rates are lousy. I use AN and add 4 ounces of carbo load to 25 gallons. When using botanicare sweet, I used 12 ounces for the same 25 gallons. So essentially AN is cheaper. Research people. The truth is when you are pouring the amounts..... you see quick, AN goes along way compared to most.

it's true, advanced are very good nutes. BUT, there are "much" cheaper alternatives out there, and much easier to use too! for instance, pure blend is a very good line of nutes that do just as good of a job. me, i grow in coco and use house and garden. i use the coco specific lines with a couple of the supps. again, kind of pricey, but i really like the results. if you can afford the advanced line, go for it. but if you're on a budget, you can find very good nutes out there. i still use pure blend in veg.
