i personally enjoy my nutes seperate , i may pay more, for an than your other brands but ive had magnificent yields with incredible profit ratios, granted i use an for my dtw coco rooms only , i have an all organic room where i use nothing but down to earth amendments and compost tea, i also have a dwc room where i run only dutch master commercial aqua line , all three rooms are perpetual amd i pump out over 500 pounds a year, so to anyone saying noobs or ignorant ppl are the only ones to get tricked into buying AN i say lmao your opinion doesnt pay my kids college fund my skills as a grower does.. And those skills have been refined since 1982 sooo, and to the OP.
Personally i used xtreme gardenings mykos and azos instead of an's microbe trio, i use in veg and week 1 of flower, then i refresh again on week 4 before major bud growth starts, you will find your own way to do things as time goes on man, just remember to chose for yourself and deal with any good or bad experiences come your way, i also recommend never going above 4 ml/gal on any of the AN nutes other than your base , i run clonex solution with a bit of sensicalmag and ancient earth for seedlings , then increase from 1 to 6 ml of my sensi coco grow until week 7 of flower then i go 7 ml/gal until my switch week on week 9 then i run a 50/50 week of sensi grow and bloom on my 400 gal rez then i taper over to all sensi bloom at a rate of 7 ml/gal and use the addatives at your own preference i use the rhino skin throughout week 3 of veg to week 4 of flower(4ml/gal/, b52 throughout veg at 4ml/gal up until week 6 veg and then start again at week 4 flower , and etc etc
