i have been using age old bloom along with snow storm, sweet, and humolt gravity for a while now and it works pretty good. I am trying advance a and b bloom and it says to mix 32ml into one gallon. that sounds insane to me. should I give it quarter strength ??

Beginning flowering I would use maybe about 8 ml of both A and B. It depends on your plants of course but by the middle of blooming or so I would most likely use between 12-20 ml of both. I also add several mililiters of cal-mag as well as bud blood, big bud, overdrive and snowstorm as additives. If you don't have a TDS meter you'll just have to watch your plants to gain a comfort of what they specifically require. Essentially though, start with half strength and work your way up and just watch their reaction. I have overfed plants in later stages but by starting with half strength I've never burned plants by starting with half strength. I would suggest you get a TDS meter and it will be much easier to manage your nutrient strength more precisely.

Yeah, I tend to go with the 25% rule when you're first starting out with any nutes - but especially Advanced Nutrients. That stuff is crazy strong and it can overwhelm even the more hardy of strains.

Sounds like you're going to be on the right track now.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!
