Advanced Nutrients?

Why should you have to buy products seperately(advanced) that are already contained in other fertilizers???

PureBlend Pro - has SILICA, NATURAL SUGARS, FULVIC ACIDS, HUMIC ACIDS, AMINO ACIDS & B-VITAMINS already in it!....you have to buy all of those products 'seperately' with Advanced nutrients...no thank you

I agree that's why I won't be using everything when Im done with it... Seemed like a good idea at the time but at this point it would be stupid for me to toss everything and buy some other nutes=)...I can get at least another run or two out of the nutes..

I have to say that I was very disappointed in my results. I couldn't tell any difference in my buds and anybody elses that used nutes costing 1/10th the price. NGT turned me on to Ionic so I'll be using that next grow; it seems very simple and easy to use. I guess if you can control everything and be totally anal retentive, maybe there would be some measurable results but for us everyday growers... no thanks.

i love advanced nutrients and you dont need a ton of stuff. right now all im useing is mother earth super tea grow. heres a pic. plants are so green and healthy. learn how to use it before you talk shit.

those look nice...

thanks Bamm Bamm. dont mind my other post i was just pissed of early lol.

Dont even trip..... You know now that you mention it I was using just Mother Earth Tea on my mothers previously before I had to flower them(due to moving) and they looked way better on the mother earth tea than with all the other stuff...hmmmmm

i think it works good all that other stuff is for people that really now what there doing i use more stuff when flowering but not that much maybe when i understand it better ill get more stuff but for know im keeping it simple lol.

worst crops I ever had were with AN way to much money with less than optimal results
been growing for over thirty years I've still got a lot to learn I went from an avg. of 1.5lb per 1000w hps to .5lb/lite with advanced nutrient I went all the way too tarantula juice,scorpion juice, hornbys big bud carbo load(molasses is better & less money) anyway,2 grand$ later and much wiser I get 1.5-2lb/lite growing in 4gal buckets using Gaia Green power bloom,worm castings,bat guano and dolomite mixed in pro-mix I water with 1/4 cup molasses,1/6 cup epsom salts(-hoticultural grade) I also use diatomaceous earth around base of plant I usethe same mix indoor and out works for me just fine with heavy feeding strains like BC Godbud or Inca Spirit I use bat guano as a top dressing every two weeks until the bud is ready feed the soil and the plants will do great is what my grow-gurus have taught me good growing

Those do look nice however im going to be serious with you it isnt anything i havent seen before using a MUCH cheaper ferts program. I'm not talking shit and I dont believe most of these people in this thread are talking shit either.

The stuff is over priced bro...I'm sorry but it is

I use advanced nutrients, I have virtually the whole range...

Once you have the whole range you use less of the other nutes, and you only need to replace certain things now and again.

The AN Voodoo Juice, Barricade, Piranha, Sensizym are 4 excellent products (although personally, I prefer cannazym over sensizym).

Using the complete AN range I noticed that my hydro plants tasted and smoked much better, and were more comparible to soil grown plants. In fact AN are so good, that by using their charts with no ec/ppm meter and using liquid litmus for pH I managed several successful DWC crops.


To buy the whole range at once would hurt anyones pocket, I imagine... but there is no need. You can get by on the base nutes. The 3 part Grow, Micro and Bloom is all you really need. Then you pick and choose the next items you buy.

Barricade will last you years (no joke). The B52 you can replace with superthrive... cannazym is better than sensizym as it has a much longer shelf-life.

Enzymes, microbes... all the shit you find in soil are essential for plant health and vitality. This will also reflect in the potency.

Absolutely perfect plants but lets see you do that in rockwool. That's when you need all the 25 different products; in soil you could get by with nothing. I just finished a grow of blueberry and big bud. The blueberry was grown in soil and very little added to it. The big bud was grown in rock wool and I used 14 of the AN products including the big bud, bud blood and carboload. The nugs from the blueberry were hard and dense but the big bud were light and fluffy. The big bud was supposed to be a very high performing strain but it was outperformed by the blueberry. I'll be trying out the blueberry tonight.

Big Bud is gentically fluffy bud. When they say you get more for your money, what they actually mean is dealers can get away with giving you less... it just looks more.

Comparing two different strains like that is a hard thing to call, particularly if you grow them together in the same environment. You will pick a favourite and then favour the conditions for that plant the rest of the way through to harvest.

The fact that you had a soil grown plant outperform a hydro plant on yield speaks volumes about your hydro methods... and has nothing to do with the nutrients used.

This makes almost no sense, the dealer will have to add another fluffy bud if he thinks he can get away with giving you less, hes has to weigh it.

It makes perfect sense...A dealer can skimp on the weight if the sack "looks" fat It happens all the time. My favorite thing is when you bring your own scales and the bag is short. The dealer is like "Aw my bad man...my scales must be off" YEAH RIGHT!!!

i get the dealer to do it in front of me or no buy.... who buys pot without it being weighed in your face?????

I guess you're still in school....I did it that way when I was, but in the real world everybody can't have the luxury of seeing it weighed. Plus there aren't too many dealers that want people coming over their house and most deals go down at a meeting place. Who buys pot without seeing it weighed???.....A LOT OF PEOPLE

ok then, but not me im close buddies with the dealers and no i work

advanced nutrients is good shit my piont is you dont need a ton of stuff just a base nutrient like skunkushybrid said.

in my mind all i need is the base and little extra here and there to make a nice grow. i got micro grow bloom b-52 over drive and carboload and ill get iguana juice plus voodoo. nothing too complicated.
