questions about Advanced Nutrients

im thinking of starting my next grow with advanced nutrients but looking on the websight and i see 3 different kinds of base nutrients\

grow/bloom/macro

sensi part A and B

and jungle juice grow bloon and macro

i think theres even one more base line called Connoisseur A and B

can anyone help?

can anyone help??

Connoisseur is the high end one, that's the one you'll get if you have a lot of extra money. Otherwise just go with grow/micro/bloom its the cheapest one out of all the AN's. As for jungle juice not sure which one that is, I know Iguana Juice is the Organic based nutrient from Advanced, much more than the other brands, so you might go with Botanicare if you want to go with Organics, personally that's what I got, and then am sticking with the Big Bud for flowering by AN.

i have used sensi A&B plus the whole expert grow line and it worked great for it being my first time.

im still using it except the b52 cuz i ran out. you can check out my grow in the link. I have been slacking slightly but getting things back on track. I def wouldnt use what the online calc says too tho cuz i burnt up some plants in the start with it. I use like 1/4 of what they suggest.

Personally, I use Sensi because it bigger than the lower end, but not quite COnni in its power.

Jungle Juice is being talked up a bit among friends of mine since it's cheaper, so you might want to check that out too. There's a YouTube video somewhere that might help you see how it can save money. Google it.

Good luck man!

Save your money and buy a better nutrient for less. There are a bunch out there that work better than AN and do not cost near as much. AN has to pay for all the crazy lies they tell in marketing tactics so you end up paying twice as much for a product that is just not what they claim it to be. They also lie about the source materials they use claiming they use only the best materials......bold face lie! They do not even chelate all the essentials.....

A really good easy to use nutrient for example would be Dynagro, or Ionic.......there are many others!

Ive been using AN for about 7-8 months now and NOT impressed. I do like their Sensi Grow A-B and Voodoo Juice for vegging, Awesome Growth! But Ived used Sensi and Conni in bloom and my tricome size was smaller all around! Didnt get a bigger yield either. The THC content was really high, but that could be from the use of most of the additives, not the base. As Bullethead said Dynagro and ionic are great bases, maybe if you really want to use AN products, get some Bud Candy, Nirvana, b-52, and Big bud. Oh, and rhino skin does make the buds tougher, I like it, but a cheaper silicate would probably do just a good.

Grow/Bloom/Macro is their 3 part nutrient. With different combinations of these 3 bottles, you can make nutrients for all stages of growth.

For those that think 3 parts is too compliated, they have 2 part series.
Sensi GROW -> standard 2 part for veg
Sensi BLOOM -> standard 2 part for bloom

also, Connesieur is a 2 part, that only comes in bloom form (so it would replace Sensi BLOOM). Conn has added 'goodies' that they claim make it a 'premium' blooming nutrient.


Jungle Juice is an identical copy of GH Flora series. They invested this Jungle Juice product line to steal GH customers and hopefully get them hooked on their own other formulas.

did i dun goof by buying ? Should i get instead? and perhaps supplement it w/bud candy, nirvana and big bud? fucking nutes are too confusing

You will be fine. Where I had my problems is buying into using too damn many products at the same time like on their nutrient calc. Just use half strength on the bases and I would add bud candy to the list. Veg with grow and mirco and b-52, then flower with bloom and micro, cut off b-52 after a couple weeks, then feed with big bud and bud candy at 4 weeks and 6 weeks then just run plain ph'ed water til theyre finished. And just use Nirvana weeks 3-6. Thats what I wished I wouldve known to do.

an extra $50, totaling $166 for 7 1L bottles of diff nutes, not that bad, considering they'll barely need to be used correct?

Green Planet nutrients....the best...enough said...Massive, finisher, Brix + and ESPECIALLY medi-one! medi one is a one part, start to finish, bloom & grow all natural nutrient. it is formulated from all natural ingredients for use in organic gardening. it won first place and received the cannabis cup at the treating yourself expo in toronto. it BEAT advanced nutrients, what does that tell you?

I use AN conni line. Is it over priced? Yea, maybe... but you really need to look at the label not just the NPK ratio. I like Conni because it's amino acid based "bloom fertilizer" with ample calcium, magnesium, and manganese. The addition of those micro nutrients in a base help alleviate most common nutrient deficiency problems. I hear FF has excellent nutes because of the amount of micronutes in their base. As far as Conni being a bloom food. I use it from beginning to end. and if you run a nute calc on conni you see that conni is a base; furthermore I think it would be silly to spend $200 bucks for an A/B base only to have it be for bloom.

Hmm.. think of it like they are just trying to be as user friendly as they can be. If you're coming form a three part.. they have that. If you're coming from a two part, they have that. Whatever system you grew up using they have one to make the jump to. Coke makes many sodas.. Is that they don't believe that Coke is good? Nope, they just want to make money, if that means tweaking the bottle a little to make you feel better buying it the they'll do it.

I've used the Sensi A+B and it worked well.. I like the idea of it cause you use both at the same ratio and thus.. they empty at the same time also. Unlike three parts where you end up with tons of grow and no bloom.

Just FYI, it's "micro", not "macro". The macronutrients are the NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium). The micronutrients are all the rest and that bottle is what has most of them which is why it's named that.

That's one way to look at it. Another way would be to say that they decided to show off just how much GH overcharges by making the same thing for cheaper.

Veg with grow and mirco

No, no, no... do not feed your plants only Grow and Micro! Either use all three, or use the Lucas Formula which means you use Micro and Bloom. You're in for trouble otherwise.

The only one who can tell you if the nutes are worth the money is you. No matter how much money you spend someone is going to tell you that you spent too much. ("You spent $5 on nutes for your whole grow? I get manure for free! You got ripped off!" "Oh yeah? I know a guy who PAYS me to haul off manure, YOU got ripped off.") Thrift one-up-manship.

Everyone puts a different value on their time. For my money I feel that Advanced Nutrients is more than worth it. In my experience the quality and yield is so much better that I'm actually losing money buying cheaper stuff. That's my opinion. You can agree if you want, or disagree if you feel differently. Neither of us would be completely right or completely wrong. It's a matter of opinion.

I vegged with Roots organic soil for about 7 weeks (liittle long, but ive got the space). I also did lots of topping, FIMing, and
supercropping. Now, four weeks after potting up to five gallon smartpots and transitioning to flower (under a 1000watt hps), i have slowly started introducing ANs Iguana juice bloom and Bud candy. Thus far, im impressed. I started at 1/8 strength and am up to 1/2 strength over the last two weeks. They look great and growing at about 1 1/2" every 24 hrs. Buds look thick and lots of em. Granted this is only my first grow but from all other grows ive seen in person or on the internet, i'm doin gooood. Overly excited for Thanksgiving, should be trimmin up buds and watchin football this year.
