How can 70 degrees be improper storage sitting along with all my other shit........ try again. IT's from being a 1-part, chemistry, end of story. Also , I can't gamble with iffy mixes that solidify. I may have been able to use it, so what. But why gamble when UR dealing with a cash crop?

What were you saying about antagonistic elements being separated in the multi-part formulas again? What were you saying about not wanting to gamble with iffy mixes that 'solidify'? Below is AN's Connoisseur Part A...

If you have a point to make here, pictures speak louder than words. Post up some links to your grow journals?

ok here we go with the dick measuring. Read a little and you will find out WHY there are 2 and 3 part formulas . Your Conn. bottle there was probably caused by your sloppy contamination practices. Look up on what ions do, you know Jr high shit. Dyna is all about curbing (but not eliminating) these interactions. Dyna is very good but not perfect. Why can't you admit there are pro's AND cons with your sacred Dyna-gro. Why does Dyna-gro, as a hydro product, have a higher Ammonium Nitrogen content? Answer: to minimize this antagonism. Lets grow up here and have a civil discussion please

Fewer words and more pictures please.

That "hack" is one of the growers that saved me a bunch of time and money by showing how great bud can be grown without the need of any bullshit nine part, gojillion dollar "jedi master grow package" offered by SOME nute companies.
So he is the "One" who enlightened you because of your own apathy for not learning the obvious yourself? I hear this over and over. "Before I was feeding my plants the full AN line and lo and behold Mr Obvious came along and saved me.... LEAVE HER ALONE....... LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!!"

Glad I could help! Fewer trips to the grow store coupled with more money in your pocket and a lighter workload in the garden is a win in my book.

You know whats funny? I grew for at least 10 yrs without using shit except the flora series. Killed it! Then I started reading about all these must use additives on overgrow. Well, that and they all had just exploded onto the scene/onto the shelves. It took ME, and me alone to figure it out a few years ago. I had to hit rock bottom. I got caught up in it big time! What a big fucking joke. lol

I am using AN now myself but before I was using Technaflora Recipe for Success Starter Kit with good results.
Hah Technolora building is like 10 feet away from me. What's really weird is its not very popular in their backyard (BC Canada) but really popular line everywhere else.
 
Cutting Edge Solutions make an awsome and modestly priced line of nutrients and supplements. Cost me about $25 a gallon for the three part. After usin Fox Farm and GH for a while I don't think I'll be going back to them.

I use AN's Overdrive to push my buds toward the end of harvest and I love the results. I just wish I could make my own somehow.

I hate to break it to you but you tossed out perfectly good plant food there. To that, the precipitation of solids is from improper storage (I've got some GH 3part that spent a winter in a garage that also formed solids, though I'm still using it on the veggie garden) Live and learn?

This was grown with a bottle that had 'solids' in it right from the store:



Wow. Nice buds. What was that bottle you used?

A better alternative to AN?! Oh that's easy. Maple syrup, battery acid, bleach, xenon gas, liquid mercury, ricin, engine oil, a chainsaw, a two-stroke weed eater. All those things are better for your plants than AN nutes. GH makes some really good stuff, but I was disappointed when, a few years ago, they diluted their formula making people buy more to get the same nutes as before. Just for that reason alone I switched to TechnaFlora, and I'm so glad I did. I'm sure everyone has their preference, but if you contact Technaflora and ask for a sample, they will give you a few small bottles to test and you can see for yourself. The best stuff I found by them to replace necessary nutes is their B.C boost, B.C bloom, B.C grow and awesome blossoms. Stuff like lime, cal-mag, ph up and down, equalizer, neutralizers, all those are pretty much the same formula no matter who you go with. But fox farms has some good stuff too. In my honest opinion, not that my opinion matters where facts are being sought, I would much prefer organic with tons of boosters. Technaflora line and fox farm soil would make for a decent grow

I used AN the last couple runs & didnt us lime, ph up, ph down, cal/mag, bloom boosters, equalizers, or neutralizers, guess I musta done something wrong huh? If you feel you need to buy all that shit from AN, GH, Technaflora etc, you are silly, tell me what the lime is doing for you and then go back to your list of things you suggest to use with it, see any redundancy?
