Well, if you ask AN about it, they will tell you that you need all of their other products for your CarboLoad to work properly. I understood that it was stuff to feed the oganisms in other products.
It's not that their nutes don't work, it's just that they don't do anything like their hype says, and they cost too much.
HTH
carboload works perfectly well on its own. it doesn't need any other product to work alongside it. You are confusing Voodoo Juice, which eats carboload to stay alive longer during veg'. AN merely advise, using a tiny amount of carboload during veg' to improve the longevity of the Voodoo Juice. Voodoo Juice can likewise be used in conjunction with other nute lines, and works fine without carboload.
When you buy AN, say 1 part, 2 part or 3 part, they are just nutes that work as well as other nutes. The rest of the stuff is just additives that when you grow in hydro improve the quality and taste of bud, and get it something akin to soil-grown bud. I almost have the complete range, and with every new product i introduce my hydro grows taste better and better Here's a snippet from High Times...

With a research team that would make NASA jealous, the folks at Advanced Nutrients test their products in Canadian medical-marijuana gardens and market their products as pot-plant-specific. This stuff is clearly not for growing tomatoes.
Their base nutrients are the foundation of any good plant-feeding regimen. The simple three-part system (Micro, Grow and Bloom), used in conjunction with a growers chosen additives, makes a perfect base upon which to build bigger buds. The two-part Sensi Grow A+B and Sensi Bloom A+B formulas provide unparalleled plant nutrition.
Products such as Overdrive and Dr. Hornbys Big Bud, Piranha and Voodoo Juice are just some of the additives that will push your plants to greater heights. Other additives making a splash in reservoirs everywhere are Revive, B-52 fertilizer booster, Sensi Zym and Barricade, top products for soilless mediums. Toward the end of the flowering cycle, Final Phase is ideal for leaching plants of all salt and nutrient buildups. This reduces harshness and give buds a better taste.
Knowing that most medicinal-marijuana users prefer organic pot, AN offers a range of 100% lab-chemical-free plant foods, including Mother Earth Super Tea Bloom and Blended Tea Grow and Grandma Enggys humic and fulvic acids. Constantly searching for more healthy alternatives, AN has other organic nutrients just waiting to be cleared by the US Department of Agriculture.
As an alternative to the tired old chemical time-release nutrients (such as Osmocote) that outdoor growers have used for years, AN developed Heavy Harvest, available in spring, summer and fall formulations, which slowly feeds outdoor plants pH-buffered macro- and micronutrients.
Many grow shops refuse to carry the outspoken companys line of nutrients and additives. They fear the heat of stocking their shelves with products openly created for cannabis cultivation. ANs Web-site forums and technical-help phone line dont shy away from the topic of marijuana, or the desperate situation some people face while trying to grow medicine. We find this advanced way of thinking refreshing. Were as impressed with their straightforwardness as we are with their products results.
