are you in vegg or 12/12?.
i use terra vegga for vegg, and bio bloom for 12/12.
they are lots of nutes,but make sure you get the right ones, not m.grow.

WAZZZZZUP ! ! !
What advanced nutrients should I use. I've seen a lot but don't really know what will work best.
THANKS!
In my humble opinion, none. The Advanced Nutrient Grow A & B work great ... but there are other ways, much simpler and cheaper ways to go other than AN. There is so much hype involved in growing this simple weed we call pot, it isn't even funny. And ... AN is taking advantage of that fact in spades.

I use Pure Blend Pro Grow and Bloom supplemented with CalMag.
If you want to go the cheapest way, use General Hydophonics ... but don't buy all three bottles. Just buy the Micro and the Bloom. Here's the ratios:
Vegging: 5ml Micro 10ml Bloom. (ml per gallon of water)
Flowering: 8ml Micro 16ml Bloom. (ml per gallon of water)
If you see any yellowing of the leaves add a quarter teaspoon of Epsom Salts per gallon of water.
Notice that the nute ratio is 2 to 1. Keep it that way all the way through the grow. For example, if you are putting small, rooted plants or cuttings into the hydro unit, you would want to go with something like 2.5ml Micro and 5ml Bloom in order to not burn the young plants.
So, run down to the hydro store and pick up a quart of Micro and a quart of Bloom. That would be the brown liquid and the red liquid. Then go to the drug store and buy a box of Epsom Salts for a dollar or so and your good to go.
And don't worry about the plants not getting enough of anything because you've left out the third bottle ... the green GH "grow." With the ratios I've given you ... the plants will want for nothing.
Don't let the hydro store guy talk you out of this, or talk you into the expensive AN stuff. He's thinking about his bottom line. You're on a budget, so you should be thinking about your pocketbook. ~lol~
Good luck ... Tell us how you make out.

hey cool thanks alot ViRedd! you just saved me some $! it seems to me like ill be giving them a NPK of 5-10-10 (if im not mistaken)all the time then
ok one more question if you dont mind, whats the epsom salt for?
i was reading another thread and someone had a hydro problem-i think it looked like a toxic salt buildup- and the guy said it was the spsom salt. so what is it good for? im thinking it has some nitrogen in it? and yellowing is nitrogen deffincency(?) but im not going by what i think because im new and...... well i suck
God bless everyoneThis bio bloom what is [npk] and do you use it with water[hydroponicly] or [soiless] soil? i'm using pro mix soil,but i'm always looking for just the right formula?i'm using 20-20-20 in veg and 0-50-30 [monster bloom ] for bloom it's working for me but like i said thiere's ALWAYS room for improvent.rock on bud

Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)
Epsom Salt is a source of magnesium that is essential to plant development. Magnesium is required by plants to produce chlorophyll. Leaf yellowing is the deficiency symptom.
Unique Features:
Helps plants absorb phosphorous
Increases a plant's natural resistance to disease
Absorbed by both the leaves and the roots

My lineup is simple, and I get to start nutes next week.
General Hyrdoponics 3 Part (Grow, Micro, Bloom). People say you don't use Grow, but I will use a minor amount, and it came in the package so whatever.
Advanced Nutrients Barricade (adds Silicate to the soil which helps considerably with growth, and resistance to shock and the elements)
Advanced Nutrients Overdrive and Advanced Nutrients Big Bud (both for the final 6 weeks of flowering).
Simple and covering all my bases.

that sounds like a nice lineup titleisbudz. once i see how i like general hydo and if it works good for me i might do something like your doing. i definitely want some kind of additives to make my buds bigger, sweeter, and smoke better. for this grow i think im going to have to go with the good'ol mole asses just because its like a birdy- cheap cheap cheap, and im poor right now haha sux but its all good, everything happens for a reason. next time around ill check out those by Advanced. thanks. God bless everyone
