Personally, I'm not real picky about my base. I use plain old FF for base because it's simple and fairly cost effective. I may even switch to something cheaper soon.
But I love AN's bacteria/fungus! I can't go without it. Big Bud is proven. But this isn't about additives.
I will say in all seriousness, when I used AN's connoisseur for a couple grows there was a 10% - 20% in weight. It's really really good quality serious specific shit.
You ar e so wrong...heres just page one of their professional line...show me just one supposedly canna specific (and if you actually knew anything at all about plants and botany you would realize how ludicrous that terminology really is ) that has done the RESEARCH needed to provide what is needed according to the growth medium used as well as type of plants and stage of growth as Jack's has

crops. Each product contains increased levels of iron, derived from
three chelate sources (EDDHA, EDTA and DTPA) to keep it available over
a wide range of pH values. They also contain magnesium, low
ammonium, and no urea nitrogen.
Mums are heavy feeders that respond well to additional magnesium, sulfur
and iron. Many times though, the iron becomes unavailable as the pH rises.
The elevated iron levels found in the exclusive FeED iron chelate system
keeps the iron available to the plant even if the pH rises during the crop
cycle. The additional 2% nitrogen in this formula reduces your fertilizer
usage by approximately 10%, making this product not only nutritionally
effective, but cost effective as well.
22-5-16 Mum FeED
Product #77740
This product is specially formulated for those chronically iron-hungry crops
such as petunia, calibrachoa, bacopa and others. It contains double the iron
of peat-lite formulations, derived from three chelate sources to keep it
available over a broad range of growing medium pH values. It contains 60%
nitrate nitrogen, magnesium and no urea. The low phosphorus level helps
prevent excessive elongation. It is not recommended for use on geraniums
or other iron sensitive crops.
20-3-19 Petunia FeED
Plus Magnesium
Product #77770
This product is designed to fit the needs of the newer poinsettia cultivars
that need the micronutrients, but a lesser amount of macronutrients. It
contains 50% more micronutrients than a typical poinsettia peat-lite
formula, yet it provides less boron. The iron is derived from three chelate
sources to keep it available over a wide range of growing medium pH values.
It provides 1 ppm of molybdenum for each 200 ppm of nitrogen and
contains additional magnesium and high nitrate nitrogen levels.
17-5-19 Poinsettia FeED
Plus Magnesium
Product #77760
Designed specifically for pansy production in late summer and early fall. A
nitrate/ammonium nitrogen system is more efficient in warmer weather
than a traditional high nitrate pansy fertilizer. The result s a potentially
acidic product that will lower media pH over time. This product also
contains J.R. Peters exclusive FeED iron chelate system plus additional
magnesium and boron which is necessary to produce a consistent, high
quality crop. At 17% nitrogen content, you also use less product to achieve
your desired rates than the
17-3-19 Fall Pansy FeED
Product #77730
This product features all of the benefits of 17-5-19 Poinsettia FeED but also
supplies calcium.

Product #77750
Specifically designed for spring pansy production, it can also be used for
vinca, salvia and other iron-inefficient spring plants. We took our traditional
15-2-20 Pansy, Salvia Vinca product and incorporated the exclusive J.R.
Peters FeED iron chelate system.

But go ahead make Fox Farm and AN rich buying their inferior products which are sourced from the dirtiest and cheapest sources available as their focus is on your wallet not your plants....If it makes you happy then go for it...but quit telling lies ....show one actually scientific study that AN has done that has been peer approved and I will buy AN as well...you are beliving what they say...find proof though...you won't ....as it isn't true....
I have never even heard of anyone with degree in botany ever liking or using AN or the other canna specific nutes with the only exception to this is the Canna Coco line....but most of them use Jack's or Dynagro...but you know more than them with their phd's in botany...whatever...you are ignorant ..see I dont hide to say what I think....imbecile
Namaste'
