Did you know it is actually a federal crime to recommend something as a fertilizer that has not been approved as one?
That may give you some notion that this is a bad idea. AN is a joke anyway, so maybe using inferior MG salts to make your own is a better idea...
Your name is pretty accurate - deflator. You sound like a tool man. Or a cop. LOL.
Advanced Nutrients is far from a joke. And if you were a serious grower, you'd know that. From what I've learned from my research (and curious, have you actually done any of your own or have you just been brainwashed by the morons on a lot of the boards?), they actually test their fertilizers on...surprise!...MJ. So, I'm more confident in their products than I would ever be on normal and everyday fertilizers.
Miracle Grow is the joke. It's for flowers and stuff, not for things you'd smoke - and I would never use it on things I'd eat. All of those harsh chemicals? No f'in way.
As for making your own Bud Candy, maybe I'm just an idiot and the people I've talked to are idiots, but I've never seen that work out well. I'm also lazy, so picking up a bottle is far preferable than slaving away on some secret recipe that may or may not work.
And I can always return the Bud Candy if it doesn't work - 100% guarantee, you know.
But what I don't do is come here to bash other nutrient companies when I've never even used them - that would make me a deflator. And probably some sort of shill.
