Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

I ran the new Foliage Pro and it provided identical results. The original Bloom always dropped out of solution and after three replacements I gave up and heating it wouldn't return it to solution so I threw in the towel.
Yep - that is the only downside about dynagro.

Once it fell out of suspension- you literally could shake bottle and hear all the hardened bits inside.

I was wondering what might change with the superthrive merger.
I think it runs similar to old school dynagro.
I wonder if the chemical makeup is the same.
I think i had better ph stability with original recipe bloom.
Hard to say for sure.
Great to see you posting here again.
I think I remember DG saying despite their guaranteed analysis, they'd put more salts in those bottles than is indicated on the label. I think after the merger they did away with that, hence the more watery bloom formula. Their foliage pro is only a touch less potent than before, but still a great performer and still a good value, IMO.

So far I've noticed no difference between the original Dyna-Gro and the Super Thrive Dyna-Gro. I'm using. Pro-Tekt, Bloom, Grow, and Mag-Pro. They all seem about the same so far.

I'm having to use a little more foliage pro per gallon - and that might be completely unrelated to the change of ownership. I finally have it worked out. Maybe I can post a photo soon.
 
It's interesting you should ask that. About 6 months ago I bought some DG bloom off Amazon. It arrived at my door as SuperThrive Bloom. I called DG and they said something about a merger, or Superthrive now owns the bloom formula? I can't remember. Regardless of that, I tested the Superthrive bloom and it came in kind of watery at 72 ppm/ml/gal (.7 scale). I feel like it was more potent than that in the past? I'm sure I documented the potency of the older bottles somewhere. I even calibrated my TDS pen and got the same reading. Can anyone confirm this? Are the newer SuperThrive Bloom bottles more diluted? At 72 ppm/ml/gal, it's not a good value anymore, IMO.
Late to the party here but I’ve been reading a ton of your old posts about Dyna Gro vs other nutes. This info was from the Dyna Gro vs AN post.

I was able to confirm with a TDS meter that the strength between both has not changed. I had a bottle of DynaGro Foilage Pro around before SuperThrive took over and got the new one too.
