I got a huge sample set of their pro line and used it halfway thru flower last run. Buds came out pretty tasty but its hard for me to gauge any differences between it and jacks 321 because there are so many different variables when growing outdoor.

I do like their IPM product and I also like that they separate the 10lb boxes into 2lb pouches that you can quickly mix up stock concentrates with and dont have to worry about the remaining pouches getting ruined by humidity. I'm kind of interested in their tissue culture kit but would like to see some real world reviews of it...seems like a decent price for it.

The main difference between Jacks and Athena is that Athena puts their micros in the Calnit and calls it Core. Then you need to buy Core at ten times the price if you want to easily make a balanced nutrient solution. Jacks will work fine with any buck a pound Calnit on the market, take your pick...Haifa, Yara, Southern AG, ICL etc.

It's no better or worse than many other options out there. It comes down to price and it doesn't make any sense to pay more than you have to. The ingredients all come from the same chemical plants. Plants don't give a damn about brand.

Sounds like you're jumping in the deep end. Questions about Strongest strains, expensive nutes, decent LEDs.

I would suggest getting something like Jacks A and B, a breeder mix pack from Fluer De Mal (very affordable and quality genetics), and just start doing the damn thing. I think you'll be very surprised with the quality of your product when you complete a full grow, and then you can spend money on more expensive stuff if you so choose.

Learn to swim before you find yourself drowning. This shit gets really expensive fast without shelling out for things you don't yet have a firm grasp of. No offense intended, just speaking from experience.

He's 'sponsored' and trying to promote without promoting. It's kind of funny.

He doesn't sound like he thinks he's a pro, he sounds like he has a couple grows under his belt, he's confident in his abilities, and he wants to grow that dank.

I bet if he posted his plants, he would get the usual critiques about early harvesting etc, but I doubt he's inept.

Sometimes this forum is a bit too full of itself. I'm certainly guilty of it. Just because someone thinks they're the shit doesn't mean they need to be knocked down a peg.

Blemishes on the community should be removed or endlessly mocked, but a community has to accept new members to prosper. If this guy is a cunt, he will show it in due time. Until then, I'll give the dude the benefit of the doubt and my honest opinion.

Spent the last few days on Overgrow and I much prefer the general attitude over there. Riu is my home and has some of my favorite users and informative posts, but the community uses the very lax TOS to shit on one another. I love shitting on idiots, but I'll save it for the real assholes.

If this dude asks when to flush, it's game fucking on lol

Athenas relatively new to the market. A lot of commercial sites seem to be running it without issue.

Mills has been around for ages. Their line is similar to House & Garen except its much more watered down. Their Vitalize is a monosilicic acid similar to Power Si or Aptus Fascilitor.

Not sure there's much more to say about it.
