Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

1.5-2 ml of protekt, 1.5-2 grow/3-4 bloom /per gallon. sometimes a little more or less. but not a lot either way. I have purposefully kept PPM, on the low side.
usually im shooting for 5.8, but ill except 6.2 if i have to. I am really low on PH up/down right now also. So I may add a dash of protekt to raise, or bloom to lower, but only if im looking for a couple tenths.

Try 5mls of protekt per gallon and see how that affects your pH stability.

also the plants came out at 34 grams apeice it was a tie!! and he said the AN buds did taste better but I think you could add something to DG to enhance flavor

He was using some organic additives with the AN plant which may explain the difference in taste.

What organic additives was he using? Would these be ok to run with dyna gro?

He listed a few in one of the comments under the video. I personally don't think they're needed in dirt but I run floralicious plus in hydro. As long as the additives don't cause issues, I think they'd be ok. Personally, I don't like mixing a slew of unnecessary items each time a plant needs watered.

I don't know if he posted a winner in regards to his youtube comparison but I think it's pretty clear that plant food is all about the elements, not fancy lables and marketing. I guess you could say it looked close but if you factor in price and the effort it took to mix all of the AN shiz together, I know which one I'd rather be using.

Yes, and as for the comments about the DG not tasting as good- it was not a perfect test as someone pointed out. He grew from seed, 2 seperate seeds, he should have used clones for a better comparison... Either way, the DG certainly doesn't suck...

And taste is a matter of preference anyway, a very individual thing with no right/or wrong answer.

There is a very very easy fix for anyone who thinks DG nutes leave a bad taste... Though I never had anyone complain about taste, i ran a single system as normal, last 3 days I ran straight PHd water with no nutes and was actually told by a cannibus cup winner that it was some of the tastiest he ever had. he could tell a difference as I gave him some from a non flushed and flushed, blindly. I will state he did not say the other tasted bad or off in any ways, just thought the 1 batch was incredible... I asked which batch and he chose the flushed one.

I would definitely encourage people to do what they need to do to get the results they desire.

what type of system? what did you ph your water to was it RO or tap? thanks for this

HB you going to put dg up against anything else? like house and gardens?

Have u used flora nova by chance? Reading that and DG they kinda sound the same any input?

id like to see HB put up a DG vs X-nutrients. I had some very impressive growth using Xnutes.

flood & drain, very similar system to what HB runs, concrete mixing tub on rubbermade container.... I use carbon filtered water, I have a full fledge RO unit, but only run my water for growing through my pre-filter & 50lb carbon filter.

nice!! sounds like what Im about to set Up

I'm not against doing another nutrient comparison, we'll see what my schedule allows. I do have some Dumpster ladies about to go in flowering so this may be a good time. I've seen suggestions for canna, H&G and Xnutrients. Any others? What I like about the Connoisseur comparison was that it was an expensive nutrient and it turned out to be less-than-average in performance. What brand has the second most hype behind it? Or would you want to see sensi? My friend has some sensi bottles that I could use as he no longer uses AN.

I'd like to see canna or H&G personally, both nutes I have used. I think most of us here already know how sensi will shake out lol

Well my vote is still for Canna, for 2 reasons: 1) I am using it and it's the only other nute I like as much as Dyna so far, but it seems to have less trace elements, so perhaps this can give some info on how important those are 2) it claims to be specifically formulated for Cannabis, which seems like a marketing hype that should be looked into. Either way HB, I look forward to you throwing out some new material as I always learn something from it and find it alot more entertaining than any tv show out there. Looking forward to this man.

P.s. After our talk the other day, I was racking my brain about it and I think I remembered the highest trustworthy g/watt mentioning thread out there. It's in the journals of a guy on UK420 running an Atomix aero system with Canna nutes in a 1m2 system under a 600hps and 400 MH. If you sign up to UK420 and search for G-Love and his journals if you are interested. Before he tested the Atomix unit, he was a very good rockwool/drip grower. Those incredible aero rootporn pics I posted before were from those journals.

yea canna would also be a good one!!

What about Hesi Nutrients?

I'm kind of digging the Canna suggestion. I don't know a lot about their base nutrients, what Canna base do people use in their hydro systems?
