Nutrient Question

Hey i am growing some auto lemon skunks and have been using the 3-part fox farm in the past. I would like to move to advanced nutes now as i hear they are more for marijuana growing. I was looking for something somewhat affordable and was wondering if the IGUANA JUICE or 2 PART SENSI is better for soil growing. Also i was going to get the carboload and either BigBlood, BudCandy, or BigBud. Can anyone help me out as to which are best for the money.

I don't believe any of those kind of products are even worth the cost. 25 bucks for 130 g of 0-17-38 fertilizer? I don't think so. That's 10 times the price of complete hydro nutrient powder. It has twice the concentration of those two nutrients but even so it's still 5 times the price. Would an intelligent person willingly pay 5x as much for something?

I looked at their website and the Big Bud Bloom page. So where's the scientific data showing the benefits of their brand? There is none. The only scientific facts they quote at the bottom of the page were almost all for ascorbic acid and amino acids. Not one of those quotes says that a plant even absorbs those from the roots or that they increase growth in any way. Well one said that tryptophan increased growth of soybeans, but then weed ain't soybeans.

Just buy some calcium ascorbate from a drugstore or health food store and mix it in yourself if you think it will help. At least it will provide a little extra calcium. Advanced Nutrients, and similar companies, must be laughing their asses off at all the dumb weed growers willing to throw their money at them. Quite a scam they have going there, I would say.

Stick to Foxfarm I say. Maybe give the soluble trio a try to kick things up a notch. Haven't used them myself but I might give Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching a try on my current grow for comparison. Adv Nutes are just too expensive for most hobbyists and there are way too many fucking products to buy.

What are 1 or 2 decent extra supplements that you can give autoflowering plants sides just the 3step foxfarm, my friend uses carboload and says it works good?

You could use that, sure. Molasses too(15ml per gallon of water). As I already mentioned, Foxfarm makes a couple of bloom enhancers too, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching.
