Advanced Nutrients Advice For Hydro

We should start some AN pics here or something...I've got a couple from 2 weeks ago somewhere on here.

OK here they are...I'm surprised that they did well this time around. I had to switch to an internal reflector bulb due to height problems...which turned out to be a bad idea...too stretched, and too uneven light distribution. The plants on the end of each row are underperfomers. I let em veg for too long...oh well its all part of the never ending learning:)I'll take some new ones tonight (these are 2 weeks ago)

Never used the stuff mentioned above.

I use general hydroponics micro and bloom-----i figure if it's good enough for NASA---might be good enough for my girls---no complaints so far (and far is very far)

wow do really need all that ive used dm grow and bloom with good results,the guy at the hydro store sent me some gravity and something from huMboldt about purple ?? went and looked it purple max snow storm,any advise shenagan,or reefcouple,platy i use ro water if that matters??in dwc systems have the stealth hydro and 4 five gallon bucketts pardon the red im old somebeech and can see it alot better,,,

I know very little about the purp strains unless your talking about "purple stalks & stems" if thats it and your using RO water you may want to add some calmag, RO water is great but you will need to physically replace calmag... The purple stems is a sign of deficiency and the calmag will help in allowing the plant(s) absorb the nutrients your adding...

Start a thread or possibly as AL B FUCT if you should be adding calmag since your using RO water...

Ive been told to do this, and it works for me, but i am unfamiliar with the nutes your using...

best of luck

DM is good stuff too. And no you don't by any means need all that stuff. These plants grow lots of ways....thats why you will see so many defensive people when they read about doing something a different way than theirs....they figure if they had great results with their method there must not be any other way. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably do it like platy and work my way up...I just got nute crazy when I switched to hydro....but I love my results.

ps sorry reef....hope you didn't mind the pic being posted on your thread...just realized its a bit of a hi jack:)

I have always used GH micro and bloom with a couple of bloom boosters, calmag and h202 but I def. see the benefits of using beneficial enzymes so next go round I am going to add voodoo, piranah, tarantula, bud blood, carboload and overdrive without the h202 and see how it goes

sorry about the confusion but i posted earlier in this thread that im now using AN sensi grow 2 part A and B.sorry for not making that clear.reef whats this about rehab you ok buddy???i get my water from this place in town called the water well i was there when the guy was sevicing the place it was a big ass ro machine he had a digi montered computer telling him his ppm and his was reading 004 my oakton read 000 and yes i just calibrated because it was my first time ther and had been using the distilled from walmart that was 000,its 1.50 usd for 5 gallons at the water well,just a thought my tap is only 140 is that good,ive grown without meters for almost 3 yrs and wasted alot of nutes and burnt afew plants got the ultra basic oakton ph and ppm now thanks for helping out.

140 is pretty damn good for tap water, add calicum and magnesium to RO water, and i think your meter reads in incriments of 10.

so your saying 004 is 40 ppm that cant be right?any way its calibrated and my plants likeit the way im doing it.

I've got some old pictures in my gallery, I just uploaded them today. They're from a grow from awhile back. I thought I'd lost those pics when my harddrive crashed last year but I recently found them again.

I don't load anything current so that I can always just say that I copied them from somewhere else.

Those pics are of stuff I grew on AN.

One thing from the first post, I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but you can't "kill" micronutrients with HyOx. They're not alive. You can kill microbes with it, but not micronutrients. Micronutrients are just things like iron, calcium, boron, etc. Metals aren't alive, so they can't die.

Whats the difference between A N Grow, Micro, Bloom and Sensi Grow & Sensi Bloom i know that Sensi is a 2 part nute and the GMB is 3 part but other than that what is the diff? I plan on picking up these nutes my next batch but unsure witch one to go with? i am running a ebb and flow hydro setup. I would like to benefit from the microbes, does both of these nutes have beneficial microbes. Also i was taking a looking at sensi grow and bloom and i noticed their is STIN, ST and IN?

The difference is the way the nutes are distributed. In the 3 part you've got one bottle with mainly grow nutes, one with mainly bloom nutes, and one that makes up the difference between the two (micro). So by changing the ratios of each that you use you change the feeding profile.

With the Sensi you actually have 4 bottles, 2 for grow and 2 for bloom, so it's simpler in some ways.


Splitting the nutrients into 3 bottles lets them go more concentrated, though. So you use more Sensi in total per grow than GMB.

I get how splitting things up makes things more concentrated, but how does having 4 bottles make things any easier on a grower?

To me, that sounds like it would make things a bit more complicated, doesn't it?

That's why the 3 bottles works for me. I like to keep things as simple as possible. No sense in giving me too much to work with - I might just mess it up.

It's really too bad that there isn't some way to create just one bottle of nutes. I mean, I totally get why there are more bottles than just one, but wouldn't life be great if you just used one bottle at a time?
