If your only growing one or 2 plants buy whatever nutes you would like but
In 15 year of growing 12 of those in water(at least)
I have used botanicare for a few years
Gh for a few years and advanced for a few more years ALL preformed excellent with minor differences between them .
But they all did their job if i did mine
Advanced can tout all they want but they arent the end all be all
Especially if you start to RELY on them to be "ph perfect " i glady traded them out for a much cheaper CLEAR nute
My time at the hydro store is done for the exception of panda film or rock wool
Like i said if you only grow a small stash use what ever strikes your fancy but when your dumping multiple rdwc set ups advanced gets old
And to be honest i think my plants like the new stuff even better then advanced but i think my last bottles of advanced may have gotten fucked up as i got weird deficiencies with the last 2 grows.
This is also the reason i went to a dry nutrient
Cant beat the shelf life and its always fresh
Not bashing AN. Just moved on
