Hey Everyone. So I am a little confused (maybe embarrassed). I am using 3 part Advanced Nutrients (grow, micro, bloom). I was told that I am to only use 2 of the 3 parts at a time?
Veg I use micro and grow
Bloom I use micro and bloom

then I read online that I am to be using all 3 parts all the time? I went on AN’s site and it says all 3.

can you guys chime in and let me know what I am to be doing?
Thanks

That’s where I was and noticed I need to use all 3 parts. Why would I be told to use micro grow for veg and then micro bloom for flower? Weird. Guess I need to go and get the grow part.

I'm not personally familiar with AN nutrients, but with GH Flora Trio 3-part feed, there is a "Lucas formula" that basically turns the 3-part into a 2-part. Sounds like you might have come across some similar advice.

I would agree with sticking to the schedule at 1/2 strength. Pretty sure AN knows more about how to use these nutrients than some random dude on the internet.

Not really. Read about Lucas formula. I run it from sprout to chop.

I mean if trust a company who has sunk millions into R&D over some schmuck on the internet? Wouldn’t you?

Am I right in thinking the lucas formula creates a 3-1-2 ratio for npk?.

More like 1-6-9 I believe but the cal mag boosts the nitrogen a bit. It’s not a perfect nute system but it’s cheap, easy and I get good bud and a lot of it.

1-9-6 I mean but I’m not a math expert.

That’s what is messing me up. I was told to use 2 parts from a hydroponics store owner that sells this and many other products. I will be adding all 3 from now on.
Thanks everyone.
