I'm going to have to disagree with you. Name another flower that is dried and smoked..
When was the last time you smoked a tomato?
What in the hell does that lame attempt to distort the issue mean, what does it have to do with plant nutrition, misrepresentation of product, etc? Since you seem to be resorting to attacking the messenger and resorting to incoherent associations, may I remind that cannabis and tomatoes are both flowering plants and more importantly, have the same nutritional needs. See that Tomato Food thar on the Walmart shelf? Yep....works fine.
Maybe in Veg and if you were a total noob someone might set you up with a general tomato food. It will work but using a flower food and things like bud candy will make a large differnace 90% of the time.
Really? Still haven't seen anything from you but personal attacks and name calling. Show "US" your plants.
Nothing like a noob, a non grower, who is enamored with perceptions (names/labels) rather than what makes a plant tick. "Bud Candy", a lame 0-0-1 will work against a grower, it will induce plant decline as it is nutritionally deficient. Boosters, supplements, are a fast and easy way to increase profits. This should be quite obvious to a clear thinking individual.
Bud Candy is nothing more than a $30 bottle of water. Do you understand what NPK values mean, plant nutrition? Obviously not. I'll be most happy to explain them to you. In layman's terms, 1% of nothing, is, nothing. Out of 100 pounds of salts, you'll get a lame 1 pound of active ingredient. If you were to use another product, say a 10-30-20, then you'd get 20 times the amount of K out of product B than A. Gawd this is funny!
I love it when obviously new growers get upset and start attacking when presented with simple science that destroys all the hype around canna-nutes or any other well-guarded forum paradigm.
Well put. Notice how quickly the spin comes and goes regarding the attempt to censor thread content, in the name of "hijacking", "off topic" and other crap. Next they'll be calling me a racist, as if I give a shit hehe. Regarding Peters,
Blue is beautiful!
The plant produces all the vitamins and acids it needs naturally and wont take up most of that crap via the roots anyway. Special sauce additives and boosters are crap. Anything that takes a macro way out of whack (like a PK booster) causes N deff pretty damn fast. Putting all that crap in your reservoir is a waste of time and $$. Find a good complete basic nute and move on. In hydro i recommend using an immediately available chem based fert rather than trying to play the beneficial bacteria war game of organic hydro but that's just MNSFHO. Yield is about environment, genetics and proper basic nutrition. Not designer nutrients or additives.
Excellent advice, but it's like throwing pearls before swine. This is not an issue about what's better botanically, it's an idealogical issue. Just because AN and FF cater to the cannabis grower, they must be legit, right? They are using psychological marketing gimmicks as a tool for increased sales as does the Cannabis Cup winner who slipped a thou into the hands of the cup judges. Cannabis vendors, whether it be seeds or fertilizers, realize that this industry is all about perceptions of what's perceived as good. Give a "new" mutt a cute name, show some shugar, and it will sell. It's all about the cover and not the book.
I've used AN, GH, FF, PBP .... all to the same basic effect. Between the 2, FF or AN, I would go with the AN but do yourself a favor and stay away from all the magic sauce additives. The AN sensi 2-part is, by itself, a good in-organic nute with higher N value than you will find in most other canna-nutes.
The "sauce additives" is only good for a laugh. Anyone that thinks 1% K in some Bud Blood or whatever that snake oil was needs to give me their bank account so I can save them some grief, hah! I'll put their money to good use.
Give the kids all the cotton candy they want. Wouldn't want to deprive them of precious County Fair memories hehe.

I just joined recently as I am going to be starting my first grow soon. I am using soil and was going to go with FF and was hoping this thread would help...
Buy Mel Franks MJ Insiders Growers Guide. That is your short cut to success, not RIU threads.
All I found out is that UB sound like a scientist (which I am most definitely NOT) and though his posts seem legit I just dont have the time to make my own stuff
I don't make my own stuff, never did.
Good luck,
UB
Want a great medium? Try osmunda fiber, much better than coco fiber.
