I’m sure this topic has been touched on before but I would like to find out what beneficial bacteria recipes are best currently I’m using mammoth P, mycos and AN voodoo and tarantula... bass nutrients are mega crop .. very new to this brand as I am in a Ad nutrient grower but I’m wanting to change because of price points and sure volume of products...I’m wanting to find a good substitute for the advanced nutrients Benny’s as they are quite expensive anyone have any good ideas

Currently running two 1000 W HPS under magnum triple XL‘s and two black dog 1000 LEDs
Couple of pics of grow and I’m in my fourth week right now

They make 3 products. One all purpose. One for veg and one for flower. I just use the all purpose stuff but next time I buy I will get the veg and flower.

I get massive amounts of healthy white roots with this stuff.

I talked to the guys at AN. I asked about the bennies. They said use them for the first couple weeks of flower and first couple weeks of veg, use with carboload (simple sugars to feed the bacteria). They say that after a few weeks you have a colony living in the soil and you don't need to keep adding the bennies, just keep them fed with carboload. If in hydro then you use them all the time.

I would love to find out your feedback thanks so much tired of wasting so much money on these Benny’s I’m definitely going to switch out the mammoth P for tribus...Talk to the representative and it sounds like it’s an exact replica of mammoth P again they wouldn’t say that but for half the price I’ll give it an adventure

That’s what I’ve been doing for most of the Benny’s is just using them for the first 2 to 3 weeks of flowerr in the course all of veg ...I didn’t know that about carbo load him I’ll make sure to continue some sort of a carbo feed during the downtime is when not using the Benny’s they’ve just made so much difference in my Coco bro I was just curious to know if anyone had any good substitutes for the expensive brand-name is still sort of a newbie at all this

I sometimes give them a little booster of the microbes for a few days mid flower.

Another product I am known to use is age old mycochorrizae (not for hydro). It's a dry mix and it has "vitamins and humic acid". Just don't get it on the foliage. Plants seem to like it too. Used Orca a long time ago and changed it up to the Age Old, then changed it up to the tribus. I may try a run with Age Old in one flowering room and Tribus in the other, see if there is a noticeable difference.

From reading I’ve found that the beneficial bacteria helps the route mass so much that increases nutrient uptake and increases yield by a substantial amount which is why am using all of them I felt that they all had different purposes the voodoo , turantula and Mycos for diff Benny’s , And mammoth as a nitrogen phosphorus reuptake

But I’m really open to education and learning and if I don’t have to use all of them I would love to save the money I was thinking that I was just going to use tribus in place of Mammoth which will save me literally $100 and trying to find a substitute for advanced nutrients
