AN Nute Question

Grow & Bloom part A&B directions on bottles say 4mL per liter and they are to be used in conjuction with eachother but I read a thread that said you can't mix the to parts together in the same liter of water. So am I suppose to water with part A in the first watering then wait till the second time to use the part B ? Also I read stuff like vegging cycle needs 20/5/5 and flowering 5/15/15 but per directions this nute doesn't come close to what is required. Sorry for sounding so dumb, I used a miracle grow like nute called Dutches with a 20/20/20 every watering (3 gallons every 3 days for 5 plants using 1 tsp in each gallon ) and my plants were doing great till I got mites. Thinking I was over nuting with the symptoms they were showing, by then it was to late and lost 3 of my plants. Any help straightening out this delimma would be appreciated.

I personally have uses AN's nutrient line from sensi grow to connoissuer and you can mix them together. also 20-5-5 is not accurate as some brands are more potent than others.

If you can mix em why do they sell a part A & B ? Also if the grow part A is 3/0/0 and B is 2/2/5 how the heck can you get anywhere near the 20/5/5 that is recomended to obtain in the grow cycle ? I really don't know how these figures are added up but even if you put part A & B together (if it works this way) the totals are only 5/2/5 please bear with me ! I am using pro mix Bio, regular potting soil, worm castings, course sand with perilite mixture

many have asked the same question. I have read about certain nutrients binding to eachother and making them useless but i doubt that is most companies reasoning. Go look at Dyna Gro, they have a 2 part nutrient that produce very nice buds. Also AN's a money whore.

also disregard the 20-5-5 as ive stated thats not an accurate way to measure nutrients, some nutes are more potent and some are a joke, look at "open sesame" from fox farm, its 5-49-19 and it would be considered overkill if it was based on a 5-15-15 feeding schedule.

I recommend giving your plants the recommended strength of nutrients on the back of the bottle and adjusting based on plants growth.

to get more money same reason they bash general hydro you can do damn good flowering with the lucas formula which is just their micro and bloom. but than you got advanced selling a bunch of incomplete nutes so you got to buy a bunch of bottles its all about money. sure it works good but so don't most nutes.
