Advance Nutrients Calculator/ Schedule HELP!!!!

[watsupbud]

Im a bit confused about this AN calc/sched. Can someone explain to me how this work?
http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/calc//


In the drop down, does Grow, Micro, Bloom (vegetative 4 weeks) changes to Grow, Micro, Bloom for 6 weeks plus a flush? (This is the flower stage I'm guessing correct?)

And also what about the Sensi Grow and Sensi 2 part? Do these go together meaning Sensi Grow is vegetative and Sensi 2 is part is flowering? Its werid because Sensi Grow starts with Sensi Grow A and B, than Sensi 2 Part starts with Sensi BLOOM A and B.

Also do I need to buy the other chemicals depending on the grower level...Big Bud, Voodoo Juice, B-52, Over Drive, Bud Candy, Piranha, Final Phase and etc..(depending on grower level)

Hey Bud

your correct in your first assumption, grow micro bloom (4 weeks) is for vegging then you will switch to the grow micro bloom (6week) which is for bloom so yes your correct.

Sensi is a 2 part solutoin from AN. "Sensi Gro" consist of part A & part B both are used for vegging only. Sensi Bloom also consist of part A & part B and both those are used for just bloom. So you need 2 parts for grow and 2 parts for bloom hence Sensi gro A&B then Sensi Bloom A&B.

additives.. trust me advanced nutrients wants you to buy every single little product they make especially piranha & tarantula which happen to be lie $300 each for the big size (LOLOLOLOLOL). Remember ultimately they are running a business not running your gro op. I just finished a runn using sensi grow and i picked up the most basic additives to do the job, not to boost my ego and pretend im a master grower, i would try the following additives to what ever base nutrient your gonna use, micro gro bloom or sensi bloom(A&B)

Big Bud (helps with flower development)
Bud Candy (sugar complex helps with resign and crystal production)
Over Drive (is a ripener used for bigger yileds and density in last weeks)

just a note i barely used my overdrive so i think you can alomst get away with not using it off the bat. Which is not bad because the next run you can try it and compare to see if its worth using. I might be extremely time consuming but its not a bad persona experiement to use just the base for a run. then add 1 additive and finish your run and compare. then add 2 aditives and then 3. so this way you use a new product test and see results for your self then on the next run add another and compare. a waste of time maybe but a wealth of experience and first hand information which will be useful when you friends ask you for help. hope this helped

Peace Out

I would def suggest start running the nutes at only a fraction of the suggested levels, maybe 1/4-1/3. Wonder what DVS thinks about this, what ppm levels u run DVS?

I run the expert level of AN btw, check out my grow if ya want link below

As far as during the week, in the beginning when adding the fresh water and nutes to start the week off, as the days come by do you add more nutes and water, or just water or nutes until the new week arrives?

Subscribed! Today is day one of my first grow ever and I'm antsy! Should I add root booster if my seeds haven't germinated yet. I know noob anxiety right? I'm watching the air stone create bubbles lol

PPM Levels
If your using the advanced nutrients calculator, you will notice they estimate what your ppm will be for however many gallons of water you will be using. This is a good reference, mind you, it may be a little off but it's a good platform to start with. On your next run you can try tweaking it a little bit ( maybe a little more bloom and big bud) but make sure not to over do it. I keep a journal and every watering i record my ppm, temp, pH, CO2 levels, everything even teaspoons and mL of my additives. So on the next run i can take the ppm up a little with out having to guess what i ran last time. Your plants will let you know when your over doing it by burning discoloration or what not its important to keep an eye on them. Finally if you think you did over feed and your plants just suddenly look sick... a good flush will help often...

this is just an example and not accurate but my run looks like this using General Hydro in soil. AN doesnt really vary much in ppm which i like, 1 recipe start to finish. I generally flush on every 3rd or 4th watering to prevent salt build up...

seedlings/sprouts - water (200ppm)
early growth - gro nutrients (400-500ppm)
strong veg - gro nuts (800-900ppm)
early bloom - (1200-1300 ppm) sometimes depending on the strains i skip this one
strong bloom - (1500-1800 ppm) CO2 is a big factor here as well as strain but this might be kind of high... IDK... ive pushed it to 2200ppm
ripen - (500-800 ppm) your almost done so there not feeding so heavy anymore
flush - water (200-300ppm) might stay with the sugars or add a flushing agent



Roor Booster
If your sprouting a few seeds, there really isnt any need for nutrients right now. Most regular tap water has enough basic minerals to provide a little something for your sprouts not to mention what may be found in the your soil. I would say by the 3rd or 4th week (once you have a few real leaf sets) i would add some gro nutrients at 1/2 or 1/4 strength. By the 6th or 7th week i dont see why you couldn't go full strength and then add your root booster. Remember a root booster's work will be done below the soil line not in height or weight, but it will pay off in the future.

Wow thanks! That helped me out a whole lotta!!!!

WOW - this is a great thread and really something that will help newbies who are using Advanced Nutrients.

Really - it's the best nute lineup, especially when you know how to use it.
