Need HELP from people who have used ADVANCED NUTRIENTS

[Cory117]

Ok so I need some help from people who have actually used Advanced Nutrients, and preferably those who have used their whole line up. I've been hearing a lot of different things regarding how strong to mix the nutrients. (I know people are going to say listen to the plant, not the bottle, but I just want a GENERAL guideline for AN).

Should I divide the amount of nutrients by how many times per week I plan on feeding my plants? For example, if I feed my plants twice per week, I should cut the amount of nutrients in half. I have read somewhere on here that a rep for Advanced Nutrients suggested this to a customer.

So if you've used AN and you know the answer or you have some tips for me, please HELP!

I am going to be using the entire 'Grand Master Grower' Advanced Nutrients line up, I've used most of this stuff before but never the complete lineup.

Really? None of you on here have used Advanced Nutrients? Very strange

i have been using AN sensi grow and voodoo juice so far, i am just about to turn...I have sensi bloom, big bud, and overdrive, oh and some old bud blood (i think they renamed that stuff) for my flowering...so far i started at 50% of the reccomended amounts and slowly worked up...i didnt have any problems till i fed at 90%. i wont go over 80% again! keep in mind, a good flush is always needed here and there. I am also starting to use some Hormex B1 before and after my cloning and before any transplanting...I would like to hear from that AN rep! i have some questions for that guy too!!

i use advance nutrients, and ive found if you use 1/4 of the mixture they use on the charts works really well

Thanks for the responses Dr. G and samraley! I've been trying to figure this out so that I know how much of each nutrient to pick up. In the past I've used AN's Micro, Grow, Bloom and although it worked very well, it has its issues, hence the reason I'm making the switch to Connoisseur A/B. I've heard many complaints about AN's feeding charts which is why to me, it makes sense that the feeding schedule should actually be cut in half, or cut down even more depending on the number of feedings. What does not make sense to me is the fact that if you feed your plants every day and your weekly ppm's are 1800, then the recommended ppm's for your reservoir would be 300. This seems way to low and that is assuming a high weekly ppm of 1800! Those topping out at 1000 ppm would be down to less than 200 ppm!!

Anyway, here is the original article I found..it appears to be the response from an Advanced Nutrients rep.

Wow. Grand Master Grower is awesome.

I haven't used it myself, but I watched a friend rock out a grow with that.

For those who might not know, it's:

Sensi A&B Grow
Sensi A&B Bloom
Voodoo Juice
B-52
Overdrive
Piranha
Bud Candy
Final Phase
Tarantula
Nirvana
SensiZym
Bud Ignitor
Rhino Skin
Scorpion Juice

Or you can be lazy like me and go the AN site: http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/products/bigger_yields_flowering_system_grand_master/bigger_yields_flowering_system_grand_master_product_information.php

I really would like to watch your results on this one too. I mean, I've watched the results in my buddy's room, but I didn't actually watch him and the way that he was using the nutes. I just, well, enjoyed the results. LOL

I'm glad to read the info from other growers and the advice.

I use the Hobbyist bundle and am inching toward the Expert Grower bundle. Someday, maybe I'll have nuts as big as yours to do the full lineup.

I've been using AN for the Bloom phase for several years now. I've used the sensi and connoisseur line and while the conn may be a little better the sensi is half the price and is a very good product. I also use bud blood (still using up what I have since Bud ignitor came out but it has always been a great additive as well) Overdrive, Bud Candy, big bud and Final Phase. I use other additives like Cannazyme and Bloombastic as well as I like to run Canna base nutrients too. If you have a TDS monitor a good starting point is around 800-1000 ppm. If you run hydro I just dump it all in at once and do weekly reservoir changes. Since you're talking about feedings I assume your using soil which I have less experience with but if you feed twice a week (your soil drys out in three days?) I would use half to a bit over half my weekly recommendations. After flower begins it really depends on your plants needs. Some start to get finicky around 1500 even at the peak of flower and some will handle over 2000. Good luck and I hope this helps.

read the directions and you will be ok. i alwaya give full dose never have problems. i use cutting edge solution advanced nutes. dont be scared to give her the full dose either, a lot of ppl trip but just get a feel for ur plant, don't base your decisions off rollitup members.
