Has anyone ever use iguana juice from advanced nutrients? Is it really a one stop veg regimen? Never used anything but the 3 part as far as base nutes.

Iguana juice is constantly selling out here in Humboldt. It looks like good stuff! I'd be curious to see what it pH's at. Organics are pretty wild in the way that sometimes your mixture will pH in the 4's or 5's. As long as your soil is alive and full of microbial life it's supposed to buffer itself. The major issue for me with organics only feeding is that if your soil dries out completely, it's essentially "dead" and so when you resume feeding, your plants can't get those nutrients. Organic nutrients are not instantly bioavailable, so it's a delayed feeding process of your nutes slowly getting eaten, broken down and essentially"crapped" out by the microbial life. Once the ball is rolling it's great because your girls always have what they need when they need it. But, I like to do synthetic/organic hybrid nutrients. I've been known to let a pot dry out a little too much here and there. No doubt Iguana Juice is legit though.

I found some and ordered some from a local hydroponics store.

I changed up the way I feed since I burned my last plant. So I micro dose now, and I feed with every watering. Using basics for the clones I'm flowering now. Fox farm trio full weekly dose (According to bottle directions) mixed into 5 gallons of water, and I use that for the week. I'm going to pop a bean when that iguana juice gets here, and see how it works on just that plant. Not into screwing up in masses if anything goes wrong lol

Good call! I don't think you can overdo it with th Iguana Juice but I might be wrong

Yes I've used 1 part ionic for veg and flower it's brilliant hassle free, I've actually both ionic and canna a+b there both excellent ime superior to work with than 3 part gh, I found the pH with gh had zero stability, maybe it didn't agree with my water or something I've noticed it's quite popular here.

I heard in some places there's things in the water that will interrupt with keeping PH balanced.

It's very possible it's my water Scottish water is very soft it was likely blended for harder water? adjusting the pH was a daily job for me, with canna or ionic I can mix a weeks nutrient at a time with only a few points of pH drift over that time, the simplicity is appealing :-)

I used Botanicares CNS17 grow in coco/perlite. Its complete and works well but some of those "all in one" bases use chelating agents that make the nutes snotty and thick, reminiscent of Elmers glue.

"Organic" nutes are usually protein based and use organic acids. Neither truly rely on microbes like a well amended soil does.

Went to my local hydroponics store and grabbed some Connoisseur Grow A + B since I already have the Bloom set... also seen the Iguana Juice Grow and bloom.. both 1 part base nutes. I read the bottles and they seem like they will do pretty good given when using them, you are also using supplements to make up for what's missing. Didn't get the Bloom iguana juice.. However I did order the veg part. When it comes time.. probably after a another round or 2 I will get the Bloom.

What is missing?
If it's one part nutrient it's a full profile feed there's no need for supplements.

Looks like I spoke too soon on the supplements. I didn't get to read as much on it as I did when I got back. It seems it has all the micro & macro nutrients needed for a complete grow in the 1 part per cycle bottles. However.. things that are not in that stuff would be the things in big bud/bud candy/bud factor x. Those I will be adding to the bloom cycle as I do now.
