Sigh,,,,Let me say this first....
Adv Nutrients is a FOR PROFIT company that practices shady marketing and sometimes out right lies to you about their products..
ALMOST ANY company that says you get better results with adding this, and that, and do better yet, adding more things in a bottle, with neat little cartoon characters on each bottle of watered down and over priced "supplements"......Is only after your money!
Big Mike is so full of BIG shit that we could do organic runs for life!
Does AN base nutrients work? Yes but, you can do better (in my book)
Does AN supplements do what they say, and deliver on their promise"s? NO!
I run a base nutrient line of 3 parts... GROW - BASE - BLOOM.......I mix them them at my own ratios for the best results. I add a little K sulfate and a little Mg sulfate during parts of bloom.
I mix up my own K and Mg sulfate from dry chemicals for those "supplements" I use.
I pay less then a dollar a gallon for the Mg sulfate mix ($65.00 for store bought), and just over a dollar for the K sulfate mix (as much as over $100 for store bought)...
I do things like this with that.
Oh, I left out some of the organic run pics. Those are generally better.
Don't fall for AN's bull shit on needing more then the basic's....Just take the time to learn how to adjust to what the plant wants - BE PATIENT.

Always be skepticle when cartoon characters are on the bottles.
I’m trying “jacks citrus” granular dissolvable plant food this run. It’s cheap and simple. So far so good. Plants use nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as well as micronutrients. Big bud and overdrive probably contain some of these but so does every well balanced quality fertilizer. Do not bother putting any more money in big mikes pockets.

Still doesn't make them do what AN claims.

For real world information use.
Flavor enhancers?
To increase terps and trichs....Look to adding S in the form of sulfates......Mg sulfate and K sulfate work well.. You have to temper their use with the knowledge that they can also limit THC production.. Each of these compounds can influence either citrus or berry/grape scents and tastes.
Amounts used are very important.
Please don't believe the old school bro science of adding molasses to do that..... Doesn't really work that way.....Long story there.

I've used AN nutes mainly but others as well for almost 20 years and a variety of bloom enhancers. Have done many side-by-sides with or without various components. DWC and soilless.
Big Bud works great and I hate to grow without it. Got no use for OverDrive tho.
All I get is the AN 3-part base nutes, Rhino Skin and Big Bud. Any old Calmag will do and some epsom salts.
RO water only.
