You can use AN in soil with great results. Usually the difference between liquid and powder or granulated nutrients is concentration levels. Powders are usually higher, therefore less is needed while mixing. But not always. I use primarily liquid nutes with the exception of Bud Blood powder.
By core nutes do you mean base nutrients? I use all AN and use Sensi grow a&b for veg and Connoisseur a&b for bloom, as my base nutes. I use the whole AN line up with the exception of Mother earth tea grow and bloom.
Using only sensi grow & bloom with sensizym, Bud Blood, Big Bud, and Carboload or Bud Candy and you will be well on your way to some good smoke. But be warned only use 1/2 or so of what the labels tell you to keep from burning them. Ditch the soil and use Sunshine mix #4, it goes alot further than bags of soil and if you use the Sensizym it will enable you to re-use it, again and again. Good Luck.
