Advanced Nutrients "What a joke"

No help for you bro. I'd just keep watering with advanced. Seems a lost cause since your using water anyway to ad to already watered down advanced. You'll learn what fancy corporate dollars do to people who like fancy stickers and tons of false information. That's why you have brown tips on your leaves. I'd call advanced they will be able to tell you how many bottles you'd need to buy to fix that problem

What I'm showing you here is not fake, rather to show you the water your buying if your buying advanced
I know the marketing and labels are cute but a third cheaper and 2 parts. Who wants to buy watered down products. Like 40 of em. Wow What a sucker I've been for over 8 yrs
Wake up growers

LOL! Dude I'm still working on the same 2.2 pounds of GH MaxiBloom Powder I bought several years ago. Lucas formula style 1-4 plants at a time. Granted I'm micro and don't grow all the time so that is a contributing factor for the longevity of the product.. That is the ONLY thing I use throughout the Grow. But, from my experience, I think even for only a moderately yeilding strain you could probably grow maybe, just guessing here but 5 or more pounds. Maybe 10! At less than $20 cost from this 2.2 pounds. I dunno man. I still have a ton of it left too! Maybe 50 feedings I don't know. lol Just a tiny little scoop is about 7grams per gallon. Which is about what the Lucas formula calls for in the recipe.

Let's do some stoner math.

2.2 pounds is about 997 grams. 997 divided by 7grams equals the potential for about 142 one gallon feedings. One gallon will feed 4, 2 gallon pots at a time. And often I only mix it at a half gallon. Guesstimate a half a scoop. LOL! I'm stoned right now tho so. But, hopefully you get the drift. This is SOIL! And is not relative to hydro, but I think even in hydro this formula would work. You would use more and also may have to PH adjust. That's why I only do soil anymore anyway. Easy peasy.

Yeah man. I used to do like an 8 part system in hydro with TDS and PH meters lol. PH up and down. LOL! Now I think all that is jut kind of like self torture to most hobby guys. I mean commercial, that's a different story but seriously. It's just weed lol.

I like to mix FloraNova Grow and Bloom, 4 mls Grow, 1 ml Bloom per quart/liter. Comes out about 1000 ppm. The Bloom by itself is a little low in N and high in P. The mixture is more balanced. I call it "the Cajun Formula". Guess 2 parts Grow/1 part Bloom would also be good. Could also increase the Bloom percentage as you get closer to finish. Anyway, just pointing out that you're not stuck with the exact ratios in either Grow or Bloom. You can customize it by mixing them.

Sounds like a bunch of nasty buildup in the works
Molasses is know for nasty buildup in pumps and hoses. That's what cheap gets ya. More work

yep i can see mollasses and sticky plagron blocking up your hoses and pumps ive gone even cheaper so as to avoid exactly this problem what we do is mix up one after the other 1 litre bottles with 4% plagron 1 coffe spoon mollases, when it is shaken vigorously the mixture seems to flow easily through the 1/2 inch mouth of the bottle onto the soil i.ve got a full house afgan kush cream mandarine autolennon ak 47 and blueberry s they like this stuff i was wondering if they might need more at some point in flower like for examle bloombastic or green sensation maybe

I think it hopeless to explain water and nutrients and the difference between the two. A, you'll just continue to buy watered down nutes because of the flashy advertising and fancy stickers or B, your rich and don't care about money. Either way rich people don't know how to do this they want a quick fix just like everything else in their life.

probably cut the tops of the willow trees down by the old canal for the seedlings and use low or hi concentrates of nettle juice for veg and bloom that stuff stinks by the way but yeah when ive got 30 or 40 quid to spare i,m realy tempted to buy that flashy bloombastic bottle it looks like a magic potion and some people say it is i wonder what,s realy in it and if it would be too much together with the normal nutes i,m useing and the mollasses

Were you not on here claiming how great advance nutrients were about 6 months to a year ago?
 
LOL at this thread. Throwing diapers and shit? :)))
Used AN for the first ~2 years ... never figured 'em out. I am a poor grower so I switched to Ionic Hard Water. 1 bottle for everything plus a PK for flower. I hope Ionic works for me better then AN. Until now, 1 month with good success but we will see at the end.
With AN I had constant problems in mid and late flower... 70% times.
