Your info is pretty mixed up there. 3-1-2 for veg though I've found 1-1-1 works just as well. 1-3-2 for flower is by far the best NPK ratio I've tried thus far.
Hello Waiakeauka. I'm not sure if this will help you or not but i found this on another website and it made sense to me -
Hope this helps you a little bit ? Good luck and Happy Growing I back this statement up for sure! I have seen many experiments where people are trying to compare advanced nutrients to other nutes and this company has always clearly won. Mostly because their nutrients were developed from cannabis and not tomatoes. Maybe we should blend cheaper nutes to the AV's npk ratios? I believe it would be their n-p-k ratios over anything else. They do also have a lot of boron probably for some good reason.Hello Waiakeauka. I'm not sure if this will help you or not but i found this on another website and it made sense to me -
Cannabis requires a 1:2 ratio of P to K throughout all stages of it's growth.
It's worth stating for the record the actual ratios of N, P and K that cannabis requires through it's life cycle:
Vegetative Stage
N - P - K
3 - 1 - 2
Flowering Stage
N - P - K
1 - 1 - 2
Final Flowering Stage
N - P - K
0 - 1 - 2
To translate this into a 12 week schedule for a typical Skunk type such as Cheese or Psychosis would give something along these lines:
Veg week 1: 3 - 1 - 2
Veg week 2: 3 - 1 - 2
Flo week 1 : 3 - 1 - 2
Flo week 2 : 3 - 1 - 2
Flo week 3 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 4 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 5 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 6 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 7 : 0 - 1 - 2
Flo week 8 : 0 - 1 - 2
Flo week 9 : 0 - 0 - 0
Flo week 10: 0 - 0 - 0
This schedule reduces the Nitrogen two weeks into the 12/12 period which will assist in stopping the vertical growth (stretch). It cuts out all Nitrogen after 6 weeks which will result in a less leafy, smoother burning end product with greater density to the flowers. The last two weeks of plain water is sufficient to leach out all accumulated salts and give a clean end product. Three week flush as advocated by some really isn't necessary if the Nitrogen is cut out after 6 weeks. The people using a three week flush tend to use Canna nutes which have too much N in them for late flowering and this is why they get a benefit from flushing for three weeks.
Hope that makes sense. Despite all the crap the nute companies fill our heads with about the need for all kinds of fancy bottles, you really don't need any of them. Cannabis is a simple plant, a weed in fact, and all it needs is the correct NPK at the correct time plus a full range of trace elements, that is hard fact and no amount of BS an marketing from the nute companies will ever change that fact.
Anyway
Check this comparison out: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/429438-dyna-gro-vs-advanced-nutrients.html#post5684072
For this grow you were very knowledgeable about dyna-gro and had no idea about advanced im guessing. second you only used connisuer and didn't get the full benefits of using at least a few of their highly recommended additives. Third your experiment didn't look very controlled. you compared nutrients using the same grow tray? Fourth you went into the experiment already thinking advanced nutrients sucked. Fifth your light is pretty damn far away from the plants. You might be able to pump up your nutes if you had more light going to your crop. the more light, more co2, the more nutes.
im currently using pure blend pro grow and pure blend pro bloom, and liquid karma throughout flowering. Use just tap water. then i kick it was some hydroplex the last two weeks before I flush currently for extra phosphorus and potassium. I'm way too experimental to keep with the same nutes, but it really doesn't matter. you really just want something with a stable ph.
Then check out this journal where I first tested DynaGro against a fertilizer brand that I had years of expereince with (GH): https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/358562-dyna-gro-vs-general-hydroponics.html
They're all the same salts and ratios are what is important. As for 'boosters', I used koolbloom to start but felt hydroplex was a better match for AN's 1-1-2 base nute ratio. If you don't understand that it's all about the salts then stop reading right here.
All my tests are in that same tray at the same feeding levels (or whatever levels maintain healthy foliage) with fresh bulbs. I grow cloned strains that I've had for round after round and I know how to grow them.
They do, and I was right.
I could feed less than about anyone on this site and yield more than them. It's not about 'pumping up the nutes' or scorching leaves with an HPS that's too close. You've got some learning to do.
AN doesn't know my environment or my strains better than I do. They are no different than any other company as they can only provide a general guideline to feeding which helps newbs get started. If you're blindly following labels then you've got some more learning to do.
I'm not here to convince you of anything. I would actually appreciate it if you didn't use DG because people with your line of thinking grow ugly plants (stressed from over-feeding and lights that are too close
).Do you really consider that a good comparison? Where are the pictures of him testing the products with weekly picture updates of growth?
: 
I find it interesting that some folks misquote me. If you want a guide, because you really haven't learned what makes a plant tick, then - Veg - 9-3-6. Bloom - 1-3-2, or do what I say, not what I do. I grow most of my pot using a high N food from start to finish - 18-4-9 slow release. There is way too much emphasis put on veg versus bloom foods. You should use whatever it takes to produce and retain the most amount of foliage from start to finish.
DO NOT start until you buy and read Mel Frank's "MJ Insiders Growers Guide". It will be your short cut to success. http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Insiders-Guide-Frank/dp/0929349008
