I seen and followed that thread for a while.
The Connoisseur is kinda high and I doubt the results they claim.
I would be tempted to try the Dyna-Gro as well, due to the price and the results that were shown by HB.
Everyone has their own opinions. I'm sure all the brands work fine, but from everything that I have read and heard.
I have not heard that AN did not produce results.
The price of AN IMO is not too high as long as you get good results from them.
I am using the Sensi Grow/Bloom and have had good results with them.
I have never tried any other brand so I have nothing to compare the results of AN to.

As far as the vacuum for getting the water out. That will work.
Not sure how convenient it will be tho.
I have a auto float valve in my rez with an exterior rez, which always circulates fresh water into the rez.
I didn't have to change the rez during my flower cycle as there was always fresh water.
When I do wanna get the water out of there I take a hose and stick it down in my rez and place a bucket a little lower than my rez and siphon the water from the rez into another bucket. Then I add more water back to my exterior rez which fills my rez back up.
Initially I had a water hose running from my drain valve which ran under my house.
Flip the drain plug and it empties.
I like the float valve alot better. It makes things alot easier to maintain and change.

Lots of little green words to read.. Haha!

Yeah, I pretty much feel the way you do regarding different nute brands. They all work. How well they work depends on the person and how they apply it. It sounds like we're pretty much in the same boat. I've done nothing but the GH micro all this time and you've done nothing but AN Sensi. Like you, I have no major problem with the results GH has given me, but am ready to try another major brand so I can have a hands-on comparison between the two. I also like that the AN Sensi doesn't turn your solution all coffee color.

Ha ha. I have a float switch activated external res topping automatically with fresh water too. I know with this kind of active auto-refresh, I probably don't even have to change my water at all, but I like going the extra step. Plus, I like doing freaky things with vacuum cleaners. Lol.

When you're on a thread you click thread tools (on the blue bar above the first post of the page)>subscribe to thread. Then it brings you to a new page and you choose add subscription. Then when you click my rollitup on the top bar it'll show you when each thread has new unread posts! But that is kind of ironic about the name lol :mrgreen:

Mad props LJ; this is an amazing grow. I don't think I've ever seen roots that beautiful, or that massive. You certainly know what you're doing.

I'm a little high right now and so am having trouble formulating a response to this. I really do appreciate that you were just trying to warn against over-spending, cuz I ain't no trust fund kid. I def got the sense it was coming from another grower and not just some asshole. Respect.

I really don't want to serve as a champion of any particular brand of nutrient. Rather, I think I have a unique system that is well suited for direct nute line comparisons. And since this Diablo journal turned out to be a huge advertisement for GH, I think it's time to demonstrate AN in direct contrast. I want to show everyone here if that Urban Grower Mustache dude is full of shit or not. And then I'll just go down the line and my various journals can serve as nute comparisons.

So I just thought I'd remind everyone that I'm well versed in the fine art of creating quality eye candy just as much as growing brain candy. (Not so subtle way of saying that every single pic in my journal including avatars were shot by yours truly) :bigjoint: So you don't think I'm just putting up hot chick photos I pulled off google.

Here's a higher-res version of my (former) avatar for all you guys (and gals). Enjoy it quickly because they might remove it.

You can expect my next journal to be titled that. I've been going back and forth with a couple of other growers on another thread regarding my planned comparison of GH vs. Advanced. A couple of experienced guys griped about all the different bottles of stuff you have to combine with the AN line.

Well, it looks like AN has created a less expensive mirror of the three part GH I've been using. We shall see, AN, we shall see... The numbers are the same, but I'll be using a selection of AN enhancers (especially in the flower stage) that will make it a more dynamic comparison. Hang tight. I just gotta re-do the seals on my lid gasket and I'll get a couple of cuttings going with Jungle Juice asap.

Peace, friend.

There's much to be said about the ability to stay with a grow to finish. Hell, that's half the battle right there.

As I commented on your journal, I look forward to seeing what your next looks like.

Thanks, I'm trying to time this so we'll be into cooler weather during my next flower period. Though I have an indoor system, things still are affected by the weather outside. Cooler temps in the weather just means my system will run better and consequently the buds will be of a higher quality.

I've been using the Canon eos 7D for most of my stuff, but I have my eye on shooting full frame with the 5D Mark II.

You a photographer?

Expensive is right. There is just something about the idea of capturing a moment in time that intrigues me to no end, though. I'll probably be spending my last dime chasing that dream...

You have a nice array of 'walk-about' photos there in that link you sent. Good compositional sense, too. Nice work!
