Cyco nutrients combined with advanced nutrients

Just a quick question anyone can chime in. When using a product was as advanced overdrive as a finisher combined with the whole Cyco line up should you discontinue use of swell when adding over drive or can you/should you add them together.

Reason for this question is because when using the advanced line you have to stop use of big bud when adding overdrive so does this hold true when adding overdrive to other line ups as well, because Cyco swell is there there version of big bud and says it should be in use to the very end of the cycle. Any input is more than welcome.

Wow.

I'm not a big proponent of mixing up nutrient brands because it seems like that might cause unexpected problems in your grow. After all, we don't necessarily know about every single ingredient in every product and mixing up brands might cause doubling up on some things or missed nutrients....

But hey, if something works, I'm all for it. I'm interested to see what other growers have to say on this one...

So am I can't wait for others to chime in, I don't like to mix lines either but some good lines are missing essential parts and Cyco has no finisher. But Cyco works well for me so I wanna bend and tweak it the best I can to make it complete.

Because the Cyco line has no sweeteners and no finishers overdrive is a good finisher just want to know if I have to stop using swell once I start overdrive or can they be used together.

Sounds like a bunch of stuff you don't need in the first place really. This Cyco prokit is 13 bottles... who in their right mind really thinks a plant needs 13 bottles to grow correctly. Them Australians are just as good as AN to steal you money >_<

Through a little research it seems like swell and overdrive Pretty much do the same thing so combining them would basically doubling up on that particular supplement.

I think AN Big Bud is more like Cyco Potash Plus and AN Overdrive is more like Cyco Swell. They aren't direct replacements though and I would never mix the two lines together. A lot of the AN products overlap each other while Potash Plus is used in the first half of flowering and then Swell comes in and finishes the last weeks. Cyco now has supplement kits if you want to keep using your base nutrients of another brand but add Cyco supplements to try them out. I would just never mix any supplements of other brands though. They also now have Cyco Suga Rush to enhance flowering. Soon they are coming out with Cyco Ryzofuel which is supposed to blow GH Rapid Start and H&G Excelurator out of the water.

This answers your question right here.

You stop using Big Bud when you start using Overdrive. Therefore you'd stop using a copy of Big Bud when you start using Overdrive.

If, however, Swell is more like Overdrive then again, you wouldn't use it with Overdrive.


As is much more likely - that the two product lines don't actually have direct replacements for each other, mixing the two isn't very advisable.

So my advice is that you should definitely not use Swell and Overdrive together. I would also advise not mixing lines unless you're quite certain you know what you're doing.
