Organic soil mix, with Crab meal, Kelp Meal, Alfalfa meal (about 4x the other amendments), Volcanic Rock Dust, Bone/Blood meal, and a little fish emulsion. A nice molasses tea and let sit for a month and boom water to the finish. I try to keep it balanced as far as NPK goes. Use a good base compost and lots of good EWC and it's water only unless they ask for more. This plant had 1 tea watering, but really didn't need it. I did use Gen.Hydro Silica added to the mix, not sure what kind of effect it has on microbial life or what have you but it certainly didn't have the same effect as when added at watering/teas to the plants.
Very nice. Love organics and if I had the space and time I'd run organically.

For now I'll stick with my lovely blue Jacks Classic.

Yeah, if I was growing with synthetics that's what I would use. Tried and true. I got a couple buckets of the Canadian equivalent kicking around, I found it worked better then GMB from Advanced.

Seen a local autistic kid that took nutrient donations for his gardens, I need to find out where he is so I can get the stuff out to him, can't think of a much better cause then getting someone out gardening improving their life.

And yes, I couldn't be happier with Jacks. Honestly zero problems with the exception (and this depends on your medium, I use happy frog/perlite) that I add extra calcium. Doesn't hurt and helps for longer flowering strains that seem to get a deficiency for strains running 10 weeks plus

I purchased some in China less than $ 1 a bag of powder fertilizers, very ordinary,100g bag is usually, mixed water use, generally 1: 1000, the effect of more than a lot of professional liquid fertilizer you use.
I was a novice, this is the first planting, fertilizing arbitrary.
I've never been concerned about PH, humidity and temperature, I think a plant is no need to try so hard.
Soils are ordinary soil I use, it seems that is not bad.
I finally got the hard buds.

Those pictures are not selling me on your salts...

Looks like a bunch of bud rot.

Probably all those things you don't concern yourself with....
I'm going to make seed, the use of STS technology, you have this experience? I'm not interested in marijuana bud, I do not smoke, did not dare to trafficking. Have any suggestions?

You make no sense, you don't think there's going to be a penalty for cultivation? why even grow the plant if you don't smoke it?

You hermied the fuck out of your last plants just fine, how are you going to know if STS is working? were your last plants not full of seeds? You figured out a way throw them outside mid flower with no adjustment period and burn them to death with nutrients. Good job.

Those look worse than wild bud. Even if you grow in the hopes of one day selling legally, no one will ever want to pay for that. There is almost no medical value to that plant.

I agree that is not top shelf lol. But everyone is always arguing the point that cheap nutes will grow pot. If this guys telling the truth.......it is the internet lol. Then case in point, cheap nutes grow pot :o. And even a newb can grow it with cheap nutes.......real cheap :o. Ugly looking but still lol.

Advanced nutrients work plain and simple .wheres the debunking? No need a of a ph meter and they dont make me buy 28 bottles. I only
Spend 80 bucks on advadvanced line and it works.
. Same.

I understand others not liking it for whatever reason. But when you open a thread trying to derail the whole thing it looks rather obsessive .

I love AN. I've been using it for years and it's the bomb. They make everything you need and it's really easy to pour stuff out of the bottles.

love their magazine too, I learned that fungus gnats eat the fungus on your leaves so you don't have to worry about mold if you have gnats. I've been giving gnats to all of my friends and they don't eve know it's me that is bringing them. I also learned that more nutrients is way better than not enough so I use twice as much as they say just to be sure. Rock on AN, don't listen to the haters.

I see a lot of noobs asking about A.N. totally unaware of the unscrupulous morals of this company preying on the very deep pocket of the unaware noob with no knowledge of what they are getting into, well lets get one thing strait here...NOTHING is advanced whatever with this company apart from being advanced shysters making noobs buy 28 bottles and heavily relies on genius marketing techniques, changing bottle labels every year to make you buy the new ones and spew propaganda with a glossy newsletter not worth mentioning.

A master technique they use is 'prestige marketing pricing techniques' only noobs fall for, If you think Connoisseur is worth $100's dollars a gallon, read on.

Remember a plant only cares about the N-P-K ratios on the bottle, not the designer price or the cartoons on the shiny - glossy label, which really says it all on the target market intended here.

Kushie Kush, LOL what the fuck? really? this deserves an A.N. boycott on merit alone. 'Kush' needs different nutrient elements from almost every other plant does it?...BULLSHIT.

Budcandy - $30 for a Liter of sugar/Molasses.

Overdrive - A weak PK, can be bought way cheaper.

Bud ignitor - $50 for an extremely weak PK. Avoid.

B52 - Vitamins - Absolutely no world value whatsoever, plants produce what they need.

Big Bud - Amino Acids, again, absolutely no world value whatsoever, plants produce what they need.

Voodoo Juice - Roots Excelerator will go waaaay further for less money if you really think you need a root boost.


You must also buy a separate A.N. calmag solution, one for grow AND one for bloom...seeing the pattern?...

cue the AN reps...
While we're at it, it doesn't take a lot of advanced know how to shitcan water bottled nutes of every brand, not just anal noobulur.

Dry nutrient salts are easy to use, stunningly less expensive, as flexible as anything on the market- because everything else starts with the same salts- and come with the added peace of mind of knowing EXACTLY what you're using and putting in your res.

Check out Hydrogardens.com or if you must, JRPeters' Jacks hydroponic nutes.

Cal-mag is calcium nitrate and epsom salt. Period. Both of those salts are available in solid form for so much less money you'll be as pissed off as I was when I realized how badly the water bottle boys were ripping me off!

Cal-mag is the Anti-Christ!
