cheeeeeers

That's a good one, how much did you pay?

Go to their website and they have a great calculator that is all custom to what you are doin, or thinking of doing.

just cut that amount in half and follow the same schedule, that might be still too much but it will be close..Enjoy....JR

Edit: Look around there are some grow shops that have posted "their" way to use Advanced nutes, pretty much like AN says to use them but in less amounts

read over this information a few times i found it more helpful then the nute calc on their site.

Bigger Yields Flowering System
http://www.advancednutrients.com/BiggerYieldsFloweringSystem.pdf

i got this in an email from AN, it explains things much more clearly.

Thank you for your inquiry,

All of our products and formulas can be used in exactly the same way in all mediums. Mix the nutrient solution including any supplements that you are using, allow the solution to sit for at least ah hour or two, then adjust the pH to the level ideal for the medium that you are using. When growing in soil adjust the pH to 6.3, in hydro to pH 5.6 and when in coco coir, adjust to 5.8-6.0.

I am including a feeding guideline below.

Feeding Guideline

Don’t start feeding nutrients to rooting clones or seedlings such as the 2 part Sensi A & B (Grow) until they develop 3 or 4 sets of new/true leaves.

Until they develop 3 or 4 sets of new (clones)/true (seedlings) leaves feed them only water. You can foliar spray them with 1/4 strength B-52 (1 mL/liter) until then. You can also add 1/4 strength applications of Piranha, Tarantula and Voodoo Juice, to the water that you will use in the root zone.

Clones seedlings need high levels of moisture in the medium
(80% -85% is good 100% is too much)

They also like a warmer environment in the root zone 70 F – 80 F.



Entering the Vegetative stage, Use the Rooted Clones / Seedlings schedule in the nutrient calculator for the first two weeks of feeding)

Week 1

At 3 or 4 sets of new leaves mix nutrient solution at 300 ppm

Week 2

Mix nutrient solution at 600 ppm

Switch to Vegetative Stage feeding schedule if you are going to vegetate the plants longer than two weeks, the calculator goes up to another 8 weeks (you don’t need to veg the whole 8 weeks).

Week 3 is Week 1 on the vegetative chart

Mix nutrient solution at 600 - 900 ppm depending on size

Week 4

Mix nutrient solution at 900 -1200 ppm depending on size

Follow chart for additional weeks as required

When entering the Bloom Stage follow the medium feeding strength. (If growing indoors the bloom stage starts when the lights are switched to twelve hours of darkness and twelve hour of light).

Week 1- mix nutrient solution including supplements at 1000 ppm
Week 2 - mix nutrient solution including supplements at 1200 ppm
Week 3- mix nutrient solution including supplements at 1400 ppm
Week 4- mix nutrient solution including supplements at 1600 ppm
Week 5- mix nutrient solution including supplements at 1400 ppm
Week 6- mix nutrient solution including supplements at 1200 ppm
Week 7- Flush

The nutrient calculator is set for a 7 week strain; it can be customized for plants that require more than 7 weeks to complete their flower stage. Just click add a week.

The amounts suggested in the nutrient calculator are the total nutrient to feed the plant for a whole week, not the amount to give them per feeding.

If you want to give your plants nutrient solution more than once per week, divide the amount (total ppm) for the week by the number of feedings that you want to give them to calculate the ppm per feeding. A light cycle of plain ph adjusted water prior to commencing a new week’s feeding schedule will help prevent lock out conditions.

Plants may increase their over all size up to 2/3, during the bloom stage, for this reason the feeding schedules in the calculator increases the strength of the nutrient solution every week, reaching the highest concentration on the fourth week of bloom. If plant needs longer than 6 weeks of feeding (7 week strain, the 7Th week is a flush week), repeat week 4 for each extra week.

Always reduce the amount that you feed your plants during the last two weeks of feeding.

Overfeeding

If the very tip of the leaves gets yellow it is an early sign of overfeeding. Reduce the solution strength slightly (100 – 150 ppm), if not increase slightly.

Deficiencies

If the margins or any other part of the leaves yellows off it is a possible sign of deficiencies. Check pH in medium and reservoir, if the pH is off from the ideal levels look out conditions may develop. At first symptom of a deficiency apply rule # 1 (When in doubt flush them out).
If growing in a medium that takes some time to dry up, allow the medium to dry and feeding them plain pH adjusted water when they are ready. If growing in a re circulating system, find a way to give them only pH adjusted water for the length of a light cycle, a second reservoir just for water may be a simple solution, then it is just a matter of moving the pump over, maintain the regular water pump cycle during the flush.

pH conditions in medium

In Soil/Soiless (Soil or Soiless mixtures that may also contain peat moss but not Coco Coir) adjust the pH to 6.3

In Hydro (It includes products such as Rockwool, Hydroton Rock, and Lava Rock) adjust to 5.6

In Coco Coir adjust the ph to 5.8 – 6.0. You may want to supplement with SensiCal when growing in coco with a base nutrient that in not specific to growing in coco

Root damage

Another possibility is damage in the root zone, check for the possibility of root rot, or insect larvae as potential causes for root deterioration, brown, mushy, smelly roots are a good indicator of root damage. Hydrogen peroxide is an efficient way to destroy root rot causing bacteria.

Mixing instructions

If also using supplements follow feeding schedule in the nutrient calculator.

When using a re circulating system, you will be dealing with one of two situations, either the reservoir is large enough to feed the plants for a week without the need to be topped up during the week or it is a small reservoir and in order to feed the plants through the week it will require to be topped up.

In case of reservoir that does not need to be topped up.

Add to the reservoir the amount of water that the plants are going to be using for the week, include some extra water to allow for evaporation.

Mix the nutrient solution at 1/6th of the strength that is suggested in the calculator for that week.

Example: If the plants need 1200 ppm for the week, divide 1200 by 6 and mix the reservoir at 200 – 250 ppm.

Allow the solution to sit long enough to stabilize the pH. Adjust pH

Feed the plants.

Allow the plants to feed on the solution and the pH to rise for 1 1/2 – 2 days before re adjusting the pH.

In case of reservoir that needs to be topped up with water during the week.

Add to reservoir the amount of water that the plants will use in 3 – 3 ½ days.

Mix the nutrient solution at the strength that is suggested in the calculator for that week.

Allow the solution to sit long enough to stabilize the pH. Adjust pH

Feed the plants

Allow the plants to feed on the solution for 1 1/2 – 2 days, top up with water to the original level first before re adjusting the pH, after adding the water allow solution to sit for an hour and re adjust the pH.

If growing in soil adjust the pH 6.3, in coco 5.8 – 6.0, in hydro 5.6.

When using a re circulating system having the pH rise after you start feeding the plants is a good thing, It means that the plants are up taking nutrient, it is important that it rises the plants up take different nutrients at different pH levels, allow the pH to rise for 1 ½ - 2 days at that point adjust the pH down to 5.6 again

...hope this helps

Try getting a response like that from any other nutrient company. Yeah right. The products you have chosen will work out great.

thanks to ya all

I really like this setup:

Sensi A&B Grow
Sensi A&B Bloom

Voodoo Juice
Big Bud
Bud Candy
B-52
Overdrive

In my opinion, it's the best you can buy at the basic level. Sure, you have to spend more and get more when you're a Master Grower, but I still consider myself a hobbyist anyway. I don't need to go crazy.

Just make sure that you use about 25% of what the grow schedule says. It's not that the schedule is wrong, but that it's a little too strong for a lot of plants.

Ease into adding AN and your grow will thank you. Trust me.

thanks man that helps me alot, so basicly i can just make my own schedule at AN's site and use 25% the whole lifecycle of the plants? also im going autoflowering, was just about to write a new thread and look for help can i give my AF's the same Nuteschedule and whats best to flower the af's in? 20/5? 18/6? figured with the photoplants that perhaps when they grow older i could increase to about 40-45% of what AN's schedule says, would that work or am i just thinking rubbish?

thats a lot of money for nutes. i hope someone answers the AF question. im going to start some autos but all im going to use is flora nova veg and bloom and koolbloom. it may not be the best but its what i got on hand.

A couple things I have found in my experience with using AN 1st If I use a Grow nute I end up getting a bit of nute burn BUT that is NOT AN's fault as I use FF Ocean Forest Soil, "a consideration to make when you are buying soil". 2nd in the beginning of the flowering phase I ease the bloom and the Big Bud slowly just to see how the different strains will react.

Here is my tea
Voodoo
Connie A&B
Iguana Juice Bloom
Dr Horn'a Big Bud Liquid
B-52
and 1 drop of Superthrive per gallon
Overdrive
Flush
It is a chunk of $ to drop on nutes but when you figure that you are talking about feeding at an average of 52 ML per week per plant (total for all of the above) each container goes a long way.

based on a 11 (the 12th is flush) I use a total of about 550ML which $ for $ is less than 30$ per plant for nutes. Now if you ask me it is more than worth it if my yield and quality go up.

On another note I've found some cheaper prices on Amazon as well as Discount AN

Hmm, not sure about the answer to your question. Since the other guy got such a great response from AN, it seems like just calling up the company or emailing them might get you the attention you deserve.

I thought that the AN calculator had all of the different kinds of grows covered, but I haven't run the AF routine in a while, so I'm a little rusty.

Good luck!
