Do you use Dr hornsby's Big bud?

HBR~,

I'm using Advanced Nutrients Sensi 1 Grow and Bloom with Big Bud. I know everyone talks great things about AN, I use it, but there's no fucking way in hell I can justify $400 worth of nutes for the whole line. The 2 part Sensi and Big bud are called the "High Yield Kit" and it doesn't use nearly any of thier stuff, so why should the one part either is the way i look at it.
Voodoo juice is supposed to be the shit, but @ $70/liter shipped, fuck that!
But hell I feel ripped off buying anything retail. My wifes ears are still burning after I bitched about spending $120 for Botanicare nutes for the Aero I copied from StinkBud.

The only product I say I've "SEEN" a diffrence with is the VHO foiliar feed.
I have done a few side by sides with it and it's a very noticable diffrence.Like CFL to HPS diffrence. Alot denser plants than without.

Also I properly store my nutes in the dark and at cool temps. The Sensi 1 powdered nutes I use Grow and Bloom still have chunks of white shit left. I wasn't sure if that was epsoms salts or clumpy nutes, I shake it for bout a minute in a 2 liter with water before adding it to the water can and I mean shake the shit out of it. Still get chunks in the bottom of the water can and 2 liter. I might be wrong but it just doesn't seem right.

dvsdsm - I always look for corners to cut in my budget as well. A penny saved and all that. But the cool thing with Advanced Nutrients, at least in my opinion, is that like you say even the simple stuff is of high enough quality that you don't have to spend a load of money on all the extra bells and whistles.

Those extras are there if you want them and they're worth the money imho, but it's like the difference between great and awesome. The way I did it was to just start with the basics - Sensi and Big Bud - and build from there as the budget allowed.

And I agree with the VHO. That stuff is crazy. Overnight bushes.


mared juwan - I think I'll stick with the Overdrive. The price difference isn't that much, least not around here, and it works better for me.

You're right on the Bud Blood. No flushing necessary there and unless they get burned there's no real reason to flush in the middle of flowering. I try to keep them on the feed as much as possible cause I just love the fat, heavy buds.

hi there well i use bigbud from the second week untill week 6 flower then i use overdrive.

in the 1st week of flowering i use budblood to promote faster flower set and more flower tops the 2 nutes work great together with the overdrive providing the exstra kick during those last critical weeks of flowering.

along with the bigbud i use hammerhead right through flowering with the bigbud at full strenth and hammerhead at half strenth.

i must add that budblood is the best nutrient to get the plants flowering really quick but ya only use it for 1 week.

i also use superthrive in my rez with a bit of rizotonic during veg as this is a great way of ensureing that a good rootball will develop.
humic and vulvic is also a good choice to add to your nutrient tank but all these products cost money but if ya want a good crop then these nutes are what ya want

I use Carbo load,,Mollasses,,& Sr-71 micro enzymes right up til the last week before flush..BigBud in weeks 4,5,and 6....Gotta tell ya,,taste in the end is sweet,due to all the Carbs&sugars & Density & Weight just Rock...Just a Tid-Bit of info that works for me....Ive learned through trial & Error that every strain has Likes&Dis-likes...Grow'n kindu-Kush right now & Absolutely zero complaints at day 41(of 51 day flowering period) optimal harvest time.

I will Add That Super Nova Sounds Like He Knows His Stuff,,,,,gnna give the BudBlood in week one nxt round,,& from what i hear,,Pretty much all mary-jane loves that Super Thrive(just gotta be carefull not to O.D am i Right?)

Big Bud is used weeks 2-5. In week 5 use half the amount of Big Bud and add House & Garden's Top Booster. This triggers late flowering getting it ready for using a high phosphorus / potassium booster such as Mad Farmer's M.O.A.B. or House and Garden's Shooting powder in weeks 7 & 8 before the week 8 flush. This method will increase resin production and yield. Peace and good luck
