General Hydroponics or Advanced Nutrients

Hello,

I’m a home grower and I been using advanced nutrients for a couple years now. I been thinking about switching to general hydroponics because it’s a lot cheaper. Just curious what everyone thinks.
Thanks

If your trying to go cheaper use dry nutes. Ill spend maybe 5$ on this grow. Trying mega crop this go. It is my first try with dry. Other people have more experience than me.

I vote no on Advanced. It's overpriced.
GH is cheap but owned by monsanto.
My colorado friends like Veg to Bloom dry nutes or New Millienium. With some research, you can save a lot of money buying individual dry powder nutrients.

I've used GH Flora trio and it's a good liquid recipe.
I eventually switched to dry nutes because of cost difference.
I run Jacks 3-2-1 in all of my grows now with very good results.

I have used both. I run AN @ 50% MFG and it lasts a long time. I've used GH as well, and the plants don't smell as sweet and the buds aren't as big. Simple as that. (GH: CalMag 1-0-0 / FB 0-5-4 / KB 0-10-10) --- that's the ones I've used. Side by side with AN CONN A+B @ 5ML per gallon, AN wins.

GH Flora is what i use as well and im very impressed with it as long as you watch your plant showing signs of too much or too little of the NKP and when they do make your adjustments accordingly...little less nitrogen little more phosphorous, etc. Fairly simple to use and like the brand says...its
"general" in use.
Certain strains may require diff combo amounts than may be listed in the directions so research the strain specific needs. I totally recommend GH Flora Series.

General hydroponics is very consistent, make sure you fork over the dough for the floralicious plus !!! Good luck !

Follow the basic chart with Cali-magic as the only thing extra. RO water.

Keep the PH within 5.7-6.2.

The PPM is as mixed. Drain to waste (Coco). If you mix accordingly to the chart using RO water. There's a ppm that falls in between the listed ppm range.

Example.

I'm in early flower. 4ml,1ml,5ml,2.5cal to one gallon. The ppm comes out to 620-630 (How accurately I measure the water). The chart shows a 500-700ppm range. To adjust it is a process.

If you follow the chart. Follow the instructions. Its damn near perfect. Excellent growth. No burnt tips. Happy plant.
