Why are people still flushing? Why do people still think dark periods work? Why are people feeding their plants carbs, aminos and other things healthy plants already produce on their own? Because each new crop of newbs that starts this hobby has exactly zero experience tending a lawn or a garden and knows nothing about what makes plants grow. That's where the colorful cartoon labels, BS claims, and anecdotal evidence from inconsistent growers come into play.
Its understood that plants create their own aminos, B vitamins, carbs, etc... how does it not make sense that supplying plants with these elements allows them to focus energy on growth. I have seen this with my own eyes. Same strain, same envirnment, one with big bud one with out. There is quite the difference. You cant tell me other wise. Big Bud with out a doubt does what it says. Big Buds. Also Uncle Ben, not just AN, but all these nute companies dont label shit because of Ag regulations. Which to me makes no sense, but thats why. Also, Im pretty sure the numbers are minimums on the bottle. For real you two should give it a shot, you'll stop bad talking it. You can hate the company politics and all but the product works.
Right, and they havnt changed a thing. So yes it works just fine, but you can do so much more. Seriously though, throw some Big Bud in the mix.
and not weeks 2-4... all through flower.
Rather than pissing off your money on a tsp. of potassium phosphate & sulfate, buy enough for very little expense, enough to supply RIU membership for a week. Mix your own.
no............
Thanks for sharing everything you know about the topic Ben.. I'll take it from here. What Ben forgot to add to that lengthy, in-depth answer, that's demanded by RIU users, is what amino acids do. I have to apologize for Ben. Plant scientist like Ben are use to typing out long reports with lots of detail so forgive him for adding so much info, background, and relevant data that noobs on RIU have not way of appreciating.
Some how these basic facts elude self declared 'plant experts' like Ben. How can anyone with a basic education not understand this? It's basic plant science 101.
Thanks for sharing another a link to a snake oil company - Maximum Yield. Just saying the name makes me want to puke.
12 pages worth of sales crap on that one, backed up by "educational topics" of course. http://www.maximumyield.com/inside-my-com/product-spotlight?start=110
LOL deflection.. Classic. Can't face the fact that you don't know it all huh? Maxyield is just a magazine not a nute company.. any if you knew ANYTHING about it you'd know that AN and them are arch enemies. You should get back to plowing fields with your donkey.Thanks for sharing another a link to a snake oil company - Maximum Yield. Just saying the name makes me want to puke.
Nice try....... pimp.
Where's your garden and what sharpening settings are in your digicam? You do have a digicam, don't you? Now......doncha go touching that contrast or sharpening option on your TV, ya hear! Some silly little kid might accuse you of photoshopping your TV!

O I completely understand. I have to admit it's a little entertaining seeing grown men offer up the equivalent of a playground fit cause they are wrong. Then again you feel odd cause it's soo easy.. and you start to think there is something wrong with them.
right.. they got so much hate for AN it just eats at there soul lol. imagine how much of a lowlife you have to be spending all your time bashing a company. they got way too much time on there hands
What's funny is that I generally agree with this.
You know what eats at my soul? The stupidity, graft, and corruption I see in the cannabis community.
Yeah, I bet the tears are just running down your cheeks.. You're the victim now right? You're worse then a soap opera..
.
You are your own worst enemy. lol So, you fold right. I made a very clear condition and you ran away from the other thread. Why is that? lolI'm familiar with the essential elements but I was unaware that there were 'essential aminos' that aren't already produced by a healthy plant. What did all these plants do on Earth before newbs had their bottles of aminos in hand??? Even then, they still can't put together a healthy harvest and are too ashamed to post pics of their plants
Feeding plants properly is about balance. The 'booster' you're referring to will only benefit a plant if one's base nutes aren't already supplying adequate amounts of P and K. You can't force a plant to use more P and K than it needs (are you familiar with nutrient antagonism?) so lets hypothetically say in your universe you're actually seeing gains of 30-50% when using your 'booster', well that just means your base nutes aren't supplying your plants with the right ratios of salts.
