I've been reading a lot lately and I realized that people tend to argue and insult each other instead of actually posting fact and pictures to prove their point... I would like to know if any experienced growers have used all 3? or atleast 2 out of 3 and tell me which one preformed better... Which one did you prefer and why? How much did you yield compared to the other brand? Which one gave your frostier buds ? I am new to growing and I want to give my girls only the best....... One day I will be giving them organic tea's but I'll start by the basics first !!! I live in Canada and my goal is for someday to be legal (I'm in the process of becoming legal) but I want to produce something that can be compared to fine wine... I want to produce fine smoke lol !!! Thanks for your help guys, i'd say 95% of what I've read on this site was very helpful and you've taught me a lot so keep up this free sharing of knowledge !

WOW! Someone actually more interested in quality then yield - yet you did ask about yields!

The 2 go hand in hand. It's growing for potential.

First off, you need to understand that all nutrient makers use hype and for some, outright lies about their product's need.

Those you list will all grow things, and some quite well.

To many, using what they choose is plenty fine. The real thing to learn is what the plant needs to get the best result.
Feed rates are key and most makers charting is too heavy on bloom products - Boosters are not really needed but, some nutrient lines are formulated to work very well with how they apply those bloom nutes. Some even the "booster".

To stand up and say that using any line over another will get you the best result's is, well, not exactly going to be right.

You should rely more on learning to grow and then working the line(s) to get to your goal. Some may be easier, and cheaper to do that with.
Getting to the point of knowing ratio's of the particular nutrient to use and when to vary the amounts given is a long road for most. It's also the most effective way to get to that potentials goal.

Organic's is a great goal. You should consider learning to build your own water only soils - down the road. Tea's can work just fine also.

Get to being able to grow start to finish without a problem, and then refine your skills to max out results.....Best advise I can give.

Finding what works best for you. Is your job.

Hi i have been growing for 3 years and first 2 and a half years i did 5 grows with the entire line of canna coco...cost about 350 or less...i averaged no bullshit 12 ounces each plant my tallest was a little over 9 feet all inside 1 bedroom lined with panda paper 1 1000 hps and raptor hood for flower and a 8 bulb 4foot t5..using coco coir in 5 gallon smart pots...but had to try advance just to see if it was like that big mike says in his video's..now i just started with the advanced...i don't have the entire line but have 12 bottles and cost was between 6 somthn almost 7 and so far for the first time i have nute burn which i never had with cana...now i will say what they say about the ph is true never use ph up or down...but never needed it with cana either..never...only time i ever use ph up or down is when i make my water to flush...other difference is the root pruduction....i had way more roots coming through my pots with cana then i do with adavance..only startn week 3 of flower with ad nutes..also plants are not as filled or as big or bushy as was with cana..so unless weed comes out magical when i have finished the advanced bottles i will be goin back to cana...also i only grow with the lights i said the paper lined walls and a few fans and i use tap water from kitchen sink thats at least 2 days sitn out in 1 gallon jugs...oh and the plant that grew 9 feet gave me 13 ounces was a vanilla kush..

When it comes to growing quality, the nutrients that you use are probably the 3rd most important thing behind environmental management and mastering the basics (knowing when to water, when to feed, how to control pests, when to harvest, how to cure, etc.). Your results are going to be very inconsistent making it impossible for you to tell which brand gives you the best results so for you it's important to minimize the number of moving parts. I'd recommend a balanced, complete 1-part food while you figure out what you're doing. So out of the 3 brands, you're only 1 part option is DG. GH makes one, so does botanicare. Good luck.

I now use Canna. Used to use Advanced.
I do need to add a couple supplements to the Canna though, I did not add to advanced. I add cal/mag and silicon.
I do use the full line of canna, it all works together. Like the cannazyme, 13/14pk, ryzotonic and boost. Boost is $$$, but it works
Cost..
Around $30 in electricity per month(3x3x7 tent with a 320 watt led and fans and air pumps)
Around $10 a month for the nutes.
Yield..
Now that is a moving target.
I have gone as high as 2 grams per watt and as low as 3/4 gram per watt.
My goal is the dank more than the amount. So it is about the genetics and grow conditions, more than the food.

I understand you are looking for specific information, but I reject the premise of your question. Those three product lines are not on my list of things I would recommend because they are all bottled nutrients. Get some dry nutrients and make stock solutions, make your own bottles and skip the massive markup and middle man. There is no magic nutrient line that will make your plants special in any way.

I spend about $20 a year on nutrients and I grow constantly and use it for my tomatoes and houseplants.

Canna is not great to use and has too much nuts that will maybe change the taste.

I use all the Bio Bizz range and its the best for taste etc but it cant be used in hydro iv been told?

Your comment is precisely the sort of thing the OP was trying to get away from.

Your first sentence opens with an opinion, directly followed by an outright falsehood.

Then you recommend a specific product that the OP did not mention (Please notice the others among us who declined to address his question directly have avoided mentioning or promoting other products, because that’s the classy thing to do.) and assert that it is “best for taste” which prompts me to ask, have you tried every product on the market? Didn’t think so.

Different fertilizer brand names do not change the taste of your pot, period. That’s not how plants work, which is not an opinion.

I am not arguing or getting personal here, the content of your post is simply untrue, except the “I use all the Bio Bizz...” bit, which is a preference. No problem there, but your supporting arguments were incoherent and/or false.

And you sound like an ignorant child, thanks for making it personal. Now I can take the gloves off.

...I am kidding about that, I have no interest in having a war of hurt feelings.

I care very much about precision of thought, however.

Sloppy writing is evidence of sloppy thinking, and sloppy thinking leads to sloppy doing. I am sort of a crusader for better thinking, for which I will not apologize.

I promise I am fun at parties, bend over, I’ll show you :oops:

Any nutrient that has the necessary macro and micro nutrients will grow good weed. The thing that makes the most difference is the grower and how well they understand and create the environment for cannabis to grow best. There is no magic potion in a bottle. Alaska Fish Grow and Bloom will grow as good of weed as any of the expensive hyped products with fancy labels. If the grower knows what they are doing nutrient issues don't exist. Lighting and temperature are bigger issues. People are getting raped by companies diluting a pound of chemical salts in a thousand gallons of water and selling it for $20 a quart. Outdoors amend your soil with crab meal, bat guano, alfalfa, azomite, kelp, etc... And call it good. All those fancy additives and supplements are a waste of money.
