Which AN additives are worth buying?

Come on folks wake up!!! Any company that spends as much on fancy marketing as AN is feeding you a line of shit. They spend a lot of money to make you believe that their product is worth the robbery prices they charge.
Same for Botanicare, heavy 16, GH, Canna, H&G, Humboldt and Technaflora . Throw in Ford, General Motors Toyota honda, harley. It called marketing , its a fact of life.

Why do I need some stoners telling me how to spend my money? All the other nute companies are just as guilty as AN. How fricking old is this shit going to get?

What is dumb is wasting your time arguing about this shit. What is smart is learning Chemistry fundamentals such as stoichometry and PH, throw in some plant biology and such. Improve your time management and fill your mind with quality subjects !!

I agree that everyone who grows in hydro should learn stoichiometry. It's not that hard to learn, and demystifies a lot in the process.

Hey, for additives the Nirvana dose well as a foliar. Also it has tricontanol which is a plus...
Have used the bud blood on a few different strains and found out the hard way that kush don't do well with bud blood. Others like my pineapple chunk took to it well. Not sure if it really dose add extra bud sites, or speed up flowering. Has alot of P and K,
i have tried the piranha powder, still have a load left. I cant confirm with out a lab weather it did inoculate my soil(only tried it in soil) but there are two points really, one ,the water consumption dramatically slow down, which i guess the fungi were doing there job, but it meant i couldn't water/feed as often (your ment to use it in the first two weeks of flower, i tried one in veg and one in flower)
two, any gains i did see from using piranha were probably more down to the calcium and magnesium in the powder.
i have also used the carboload powder, and am undecided if it is feeding my soil/plant, havnt tried it in hydro for fear of blocking my drip lines. It dose/did seem to help, once again with water consumption dropped off abit, but no where near as much as the piranha did.

honestly im okay with A.N., there prices are abit steep, i havnt used big bud,over drive or that,simple as you can get the same stuff for cheaper now. Just my 2pennys worth. Take it easy all.

Nirvana don't contain triancontanol, only a blend of organic additive. It contain maybe a laughable amount due to alfalfa meal.

Ha, yeah i think that when they stew it up the alfalfa meal breaks down to realise the smallest amounts, its just that tricontanol is effect in very small amounts. Like 0.01-1.0ppm depending on the crop and rate of application. Also they do say it dose.

maybe they dont list it in the usa as it would not be allowed as its a PGR?
Thanks for that advancepedia link!
I always wondered what was in some of those nutes.
