The reason i went with fox farm int he first place was their easey schedule to follow. When i looked at advanced nutrients, there were so many different things to buy, i was so overwhelmed. So, i wanted to ask you experts, what advanced products should i buy? I had a suggestion that i need sensi a and b, and rhino skin, and thats all? Is that true? Also, what is the difference between the 2 part formulas and the 3 part? There is so may things to consider that i dont know what to do. Thank you for your help everyone...and happy growing.
 
Just out of curiosity, what made you decide to leave Fox Farms? If you're looking for additives, they have a soluble line that are supposed to be used along with their regular nutes (you probably saw the soluble line additions on the schedule you got with your Fox Farms Trio). The reason I ask is I've been using Fox Farms for a while now and I've been pretty pleased with the results so far. The only thing I've noticed is that I have to really tone down on the amount of nutes I use compared to their schedule. I grow hydroponically, but in coco coir instead of straight in water. Coco coir seems to really hold nutrients for a while and get a lot of nutrient build-up. I end up using about 1/4 nutrient strength of what the Fox Farms Nutrient trio recommends with great results. However, I have a friend who grows with bubbleponics and he doesn't get nute burn even when he uses Fox Farms Hydroponic trio full strength.
 
Advanced is by far the best ive ever used, I would reccomend Big bud,Carbo load, Overdrive, and B-52. These 4 are most needed if your on a budget. If you can afford it I would also reccomend Bud factor X, and Voedoo juice. I get around 40 -65 grams dry per plant growing straight from 12/12 w/no veg time using a very simple soil grow under a 1000w hps 4x4 room w/2 gallon pots.
 
Well...i just have everyone telling me that advanced is so much better. One thing that i am curious to see with advanced is, when i use fox farm my ph drops big time and i find myself using alot of ph up. I am doing it hydroponically with a ebb and flow 50 gallon res. I heard that advanced is ph balanced and you wont have ph problems. I do have the powders and i am going to use them. This is my first time growing and im just trying to see whats best. Thank you for your comment.
 
40-65 dry with no veg? WOW, thats awesome. I am budding when my plants get 12 or more inches, i would love to get that much. Just by curiousity, what strain are you growing? I think i am going to try advanced, atleast once. But with so many different products, how can you use all of them in advanced? How does the ppms and ph stay right if your adding a bunch of things? Thanks for your advice, i think i will invest in what you say.
 
I get all my seeds from Sannie seeds, I highly recommend his Jackberry and chocalate rain. Advanced products are ph balanced. In fact I still use Fox Farm Beast Bloom and never have to adjust the ph in my soil. All of advanced products can be mixed with no worrys of fucking up ur waters ph.Im not an expert on hydro( I use a very simple soil set up) but if you can afford it buy those 6 I stated above.
