I am ready to switch from Advanced to try H&G since it is less then half the cost for the A&B when you buy 5 gallon jugs of the stuff and I have heard lots of good things about it. I am using Hydroton in ebb and flow. Was planning on continuing to use AN Big Bud and GH Koolbloom for final. Have had great results with those so far.
I am needing a little more info before I make the jump. Have heard the PH drops super low when you put the base nutes in. How is the PH stability wise on this line ?
Deficiencies are the other main issue I am wanting to know about. Local hydro shop told me you are supposed to use only their lineup or you will have problems. Is this true ? Was really wanting to use only their A&B Flakes base and add my own boosters etc.
Do you think I could add Floralicious Bloom to the base nutes or is that not a good idea?
Lastly I am wanting to know how strong you guys are going with the stuff. Should I stick with their regular feeding or go in between the heavy and regular? With AN I just add 15 ML per gallon of the Sensi A&B and I am done with it from week 1-7. I use Big Bud from week 2-7 and Koolbloom week 6-7 (was using Overdrive but see no difference in yield). Works perfect.
FYI I do not use or own a PPM meter and havent needed one with the AN for a good 5 rounds now. I do use a PH pen though.
As you can tell I am nervous about FUBARing my grow up. I cant afford to have that happen so I was looking for input before I proceed.
Thank you !
