Mixing Nutrient brands in soil grow?

heres the problem decided to use different nutes on my second grow. 1st grow was bio bizz grow then bio bizz bloom and boost. now im using canna terra vega then canna terra flora and boost but the boost was too damn expensive so as a supplement to the boost i bought advanced nutrients's carboload. will this do the same thing as the boost? and will mixing the nutrients effect ratio's or stress plants?

Tell you the truth. I pretty much did the same not necc with the
same combo but shouldn't be an issue as long as u just ease up and start off a little of each and see if they like it or not. I mean I was making straight differnt brews of all diff companys cuz I have a ton of stuff. From AN humbloldt GH etc. And made my own lil mixtures and it was def nice and all but I kinda think it was just maybe overkill in my opinion. But the canna series I def liked. Carbo load bro i feel like is just straight sugar. I got a hunch of sample packs of bud blood. Big bud and carbo load. I. Ended up not even using it that much cuz first off it the whole bag got crystalized into one big friggin rock of crytonite and Ish so just make sure u store well.

Hmm, I tend to stick with one nute system at a time, just because the company is generally keeping track of the ratios and the nutes they include. So, that makes me feel a bit less paranoid about whether the nutes are going to overload the plants or whether the nutes are going to do weird things to each other.

I mean, I'm sure some mixing is fine, but since I'm not a chemist (and have NO plans to become one), I'm just not sure I could handle the mixing of the different nutes. I'm sure I'd screw it up.

And yeah, I guess that would stress the plants and cause troubles for your grow overall. After all, if something does go wrong, you can't be sure what product caused the problem and what you need to do to fix it.

And...you can't call the company for help since they're not going to have any idea what to do about the other guy's product since they don't know what's in it.

not real sure what boost is meant to do as I've never used it. I've had some success with Carboload, but I couldn't compare it to the other product to tell you if it works the same way.

I bet if you call up the company you can find out more about what to do. That's what customer service departments are there for - customers who have questions.

i mix nute brands so i can get the levels of n2 up for the first 3 weeks of flower (i add 200ppm miracle grow bloom boost to my an sensi bloom) it works great... .i use advanced nutrients but the carboload is basically molasses so i don't buy it i get bud blood for week 1,big bud for week 2-6 and then overdrive for the last 2-3 weeks. so i say use the carboload becouse you already have it but its not a bloom booster its just carbs.i use black strap molasses for that.

Hey. Yeh I mean as long as u don't go nuts mixing a ton of stuff together you should be fine dude but like the others said. Pretty much PPM is somewhat balanced and diff companies have diff levels. I'm pretty much doing the same bid blood big bud an overdrive. Did the overdrive screw with glowering time for you. Cuz I feel like either the flowering process kinda haulted after the overdrive I mean I don't know maybe I'm wrong

i don't know if it added time? i'm at 8 weeks now but looks like i need 3 more weeks.but i can tell the bud got heavier(since i started the overdrive) they can't even stand up straight any more.

Boooooooooom!
