For AN the only thing that I think is worth a shit is any of there base line and big bud and b-52
And yes ive used most of the an line and its a waist of money

Come on. Waste of money?
I think that may be a little harsh...
There may be slight variance of opinion among growers, and everyone certainly has a personal preference, but to say one brand is a waste of money sounds like hyperbole stemming from a personal gripe. So far I haven't seen that AN is a 'waste of money' compared to the GH I was using... especially since I got it for less than the GH, and so far, just like AN says, it's been outperforming GH.
All nutrients, GH, AN, Dyna, they all work just fine. If the grower screws up, it's his fault, not the nute's. If one nute does better than another, it's not necessarily the nute itself but any combination of factors.

no personal gripe ive been a AN fan for a bit now and love the results, never once had a issue! like I had with other like FF or GH
but when I started playing with technoflora all bets were off the side by side AN vs BC and there wasnt one the better!! only that
the AN line costed me way more! so go ahead spent the money! but after time every grower to way to spend less and = more!!
use that extra cash to upgrade stuff that will give you the encrease in yield your looking for.

I see. But with all this talk of AN's heavier price tag, I was expecting the worst at the hydro shop. I ended up paying les than 40.00 bucks for the Sensi AB (regular size) and a new airstone and 30 feet of air tubing. So cost really isn't an issue here. If AN does at least as well as my GH grows, then it still wins imo... And it's already doing better.
Maybe Tecnaflora should be my next test nute.

LOL I fucking love ya'll. Seriously. In every other section this disagreement would have turned into a flame war. I got blessed with the section with the least amount of drama.

Come on, Raven. It's me, Jin.†LOL† I fucking love ya'll. Seriously. In every other section this disagreement would have turned into a flame war. I got blessed with the section with the least amount of drama.
I'm not gonna flame no more... you know that... And that goes twice for someone with Mod next their avatar. Lol.
I realize Hellraizer meant that he's not convinced AN is worth the extra cost.

†L† Oh I know, just been sseing massive flaming and drama in places like toke n talk, the noob section, etc. So much so I'm starting to confine myself to the hydro section. Hell, even when you were flaming it wasn't nearly that bad. Yesterday I saw a thread, was on page 20+ first day, and the flaming started on page one. Toke n talk there's trolls that do nothing but flame and harass people. In hydro, you don't see any of that shit.

That's because we in the hydro section are more concerned with growing than anything else. Let pot-heads who don't grow much fight it out in those lesser forums. Lol.
When I had my recent incident, a part of me just couldn't stand the idea of fighting with a fellow grower... not just some noob, but a real grower. So I stopped for that reason. People who have no grows to show, though... that's another story.

Anyway, back to the Nirvana. It works well for ALL phases of plant growth, when used in conjunction with other additives. I use 20 ml per 4 litres of water for propagation, and have a near 100% success rate. If used with B-52 or other fert. Boosters cut back to .5 ml per litre. And its organic!

We should. I post every little thing I do in my journal, too.
Thank you for that . . . I'm new here, but all I want to do is observe and learn, connect with folks who are "concerned with growing more than anything else".
I just don't get this flaming thing, at all . . . why would anyone want to get so fired up about this sort of stuff? Maybe they just need to smoke a bit of their crop and chill out a bit.

Many thanks for this - this may be the best post yet. What I'm looking for here is some common sense, realistic opinions based on experience, as I embark on my own hydro experiments. I tend to agree that there are a lot of variables, and one has to be really consistent with their procedures to make any real conclusions about which nutes are the better brand, and all that.
I'm sort of leaning toward the GH, already have some of the Floralicious and Maxi series nutes now, and that will be my first serious hydro experiment, but I'm definitely open to any experiences other have had with their choices of nutes.

Nirvana looks a lot like liquid karma which I'd consider too messy for my reservoirs. I started testing it and it left this dirty particulate matter in the bottom of my veg reservoir. Anyone want a free gallon of LK? 
I am however a huge fan of the floralicious stuff from GH. It's clean in your res and it works as advertised.

Whoa, you mean someone is actually reading my crap?
GH is a fine, fine choice. I've had great results with the Flora series... and have used the Floralicious plus additive with great success.
I've dialed in the consistency of my process through the course of 7 grows (currently on my 8th), so I think I'm in a pretty good postion to compare AN directly to GH.
AN is winning so far, btw.
