pH Perfect by AN vs Recipe for success by Techna. Your opinions

I'm torn between the two, pH perfect is too good to be true and I am not seeing much to back it up as it is still fairly new.

The techna has some loyal users behind it, I feel like it's a for sure choice.

Your opinions anyone? I am open to other suggestions. This is for a Aerogarden grow

X2, same question I was going to ask.....
sweet.

I've kind of gotten rid of the Advanced Nutrition as it's far too skeptical I find. I think I might try to get some kind of a Dyna-Gro Trio going if I can find reasonable pricing in Canada which is very unlikely.

It is looking like it might be a battle between the Techna flora recipe for success vs GH Flora Trio now.

Still open to opinions, please whatever you have to say. Wether you have good experience or bad experience with either or somethign else I wanna hear it!

Thanks!

EDIT: Found solid price online. 34$ for the pH perfect trio and ships throughout Canada for 20 bucks. Would cost me 60$ bucks total with tax. The techna trio would cost me 70 bucks for the 1L Bottles. This being said it's actually cheaper for me to go with the AN option. Any thoughts?

Finally decided to go with the GH Maxi Series, Bloom and Grow! Grabbing 2.2lb pounds of each at only 15$ a piece. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Placing order in the morning! Hope I get some kind of feed back by then

The DynaGro bases are 'pH perfect' as you really never need to adjust the pH of your res. I've heard of the maxi series producing good results but I don't know how their pH stability is. Hopefully the salt buildup isn't as bad as their 3 part because if it is, I wouldn't recommend it for aero.

The AN is to good to be true because it is.....or isnt. The PH perfect thing has been in use for about a decade by all nutruent companies, AN just put a name to it and added yet another marketing campaign to their painfully over marketed low quality nutrients.
You have to sepcifically ask your local store to bring in Dyna Gro from Stellar. The stores don't like it much because Dyna Gro doesnt play the game that most of the otther MJ specific companies do. They dont have sales people pushing their shit, fancy labels, a million products, freebie give aways, sales incentives and last but not least.........HIGH PRICES.
Stores make a percentage of sales, they would much rather sell you a shitty 2 part (like AN sensi) at 28 dollars a bottle X2 than 1 bttole of Dyna gro at 25 bucks.

Where to start on that comment....... To start PH perfect from advanced probably will be a good product but since its not for sale in the US yet i wouldnt worrie about useing it, and its not yet again another marketing scam PH perfect from AN has specially chleated chemical compunds that make all of its chemical avaliable for absorbtion within ph range from 1 - 9. As for dyna gro never used it seen any one use it or heard one good thing about it and my stor has Dyna gro, and sensi a and b are both under 20$ a bottle i would have to go to my garden and look at the price to tell you for certin. Now i personally use Advance Nutes i use there connoisseur a + b and my plants seem to be loveing it so far now connoisseur is higher end at 39$ each a liter, if you are new to and your looking for a well rounded easy to use nute program i would recomend starting with Ionic very simple to use has extremely stable chemical values and holds its ph very nicely too. Ionic is 15.50 a bottle at most stores. If you are a more advanced grower just looking to try something different i would probablt check into useing the House and Garden line,Van De Swaan use to work for and devlope Canna nutrients and split from that company and starting makeing House and Garden. What is nice about H&G is that they dont have a recomended PPM rateing all you have to do is follow the proper ML per Gal, there reason behind this is the chemical values are stable enought to give you guarenteed results every time without worrie. Last but not least 99.9 percent of retail locations have what is called a profit margin on all products and there gonna make the same percentage weather you buy dyna gro or an....

Chelating minerals isn't 'ph perfect' as many higher quality nute companies already chelate the heavier minerals like iron.

People who know what their doing or have a rough understanding of plant nutrition use DynaGro. I use it and it's already 'pH perfect' as the pH stays between 5.5 and 6 with zero adjustments. When comparing the price, I'd also recommend comparing the mineral content and the NPK ratios of DG vs anything else in your store.

What is nice about H&G is that they dont have a recomended PPM rateing all you have to do is follow the proper ML per Gal, there reason behind this is the chemical values are stable enought to give you guarenteed results every time without worrie.
I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Mineral salts (assuming water solubility) are all the same so when you're overfeeding with H and G, your results will be just as bad as overfeeding with miracle grow.

There is what is called a MSRP and what the previous poster was accurately pointing out is that the markup on 'cannabis specific' nutrients is much higher than a brand like Jacks, peters or DynaGro. Retail locations usually have zero say in MSRP.
