Advanced Nutrients Nirvana

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.

I think it becomes a matter of a fragile ego for some (speaking from experience)... as in "I'm the greatest marijuana grower in the world... How dare you disagree with me?" I've flamed before too... but just once as I quickly realized how silly it was.
 
I agree that any one of those companies makes products that make cannabis thrive when fed them . Pretty much all of AN gear is designed to work well in hydro. I use NIRVANA in my DWC buckets. NOTHING out of a bottle seems to work as well as the pirhana, tarantula,voodoo juice, and carbo load for massive explosive root development, and propagation of cuttings. I have tried a lot of brands, not all, and I will definitely continue using those AN products. No flamin here yall

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.

Well said. Grower error = more problems than any nute I've ever used.

I haven't checked out Nirvana yet, but from what I've heard it's pretty fantastic.

This article seems to be pretty helpful too - for the original poster - http://bigbudsmag.com/grow/article/...-sweet-smelling-marijuana-buds-september-2011

Not sure what else to share today. Still reeling from the article about the government going after CA dispensaries....

Are you journaling that by chance?

Yes, I'm making a note of the difference in my new journal.

I am getting the sense that GH, like the company's name is a very good general hydroponics nutrient... suitable for growing any vegetable or herb... and even cannabis using the Lucas.

The AN Sensi, however, does seem more like a nutrient formula intended more for marijuana growing. The A&B equal parts mix is straight-forward and the fluid is clear. It doesn't have that 'organic' smell of GH nutes, but a more clinical, pharamceutical kind of smell. The young clones I'm currently growing on AN have rooted faster and are noticeably smellier than my previous GH plants.

Yeah, I'm all up in arms about that, too. SoCal here.
 
It's refreshing to see a discussion of this type that isn't chock-full of name calling and ego.

I get so tired of hearing people swear they went out and bought 74 different bottles of stuff from one company, used them all for the first time, got terrible results for what they spent, and then leap to the conclusion that they're all "crap".

And if you have the audacity to suggest there could be some user error involved they get all huffy and try to start a fight over who's been growing longer/better or whatever other measure of their "grow-peen" they want to use.


Here's my 2c on Nirvana: I've used it and it's easily my favorite organic bloom booster. I'm not a big organic guy... I just never really got into the whole organic thing and I'm not personally convinced that it's worth it. That's just me. So I do most of my growing with synthetic nutes and that means I can use Big Bud which - purely my opinion here - kicks Nirvana's ass. But if I grow 100% organic I will definitely use Nirvana.

I have heard they're talking about an organic Big Bud, and I will definitely give that a try if they make it.

I recently introduced AN's organic Mother Earth Tea to my grow. The res was destabilized because of this.

Are you strictly an AN user? If so, any recommends for an AN veg additive that is not organic?
 
When I used Floralicious Plus instead of Nirvana I always got that brown slime shyt in my resi, probably not cold enough. Or not enough air in the water.

†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.
