Holy hell do they look tasty! Well, I'm sold, AN is the way to go, if you can do that then I know they are good nutes. How do you mix a batch of nutes up though? If your trying to get your ppm's up to say 1500, and your (at that point) mixing in every nute you've got, do you just use an extremely small amount of each one so you don't go over the 1500ppm's your shooting for? If I was only using say, a 3 part nute mix then would I just add more of whatever nutes I have to bring up the ppm's to the 1000+ range? or is that giving to much of one thing to the plants and I just need to give the recommended 2ml or whatever and just leave the solution weak? Does that make any sense? I see that you clearly know what your doing and your using the same nutes I'm about to buy, so if you can help me understand how your doing it then I know I'll get good results! :) Thanks!

I dont ever get past 1300ppm on first grow till i get my conditions perfect for new strain I try.I start around 750ppm first wk harvest 1200 week 6 then back to 1000pppm around wk 7 and 900 to 800ppm week 8 just gradually going up and then back down.using final phase to flush in last week of harvest.I have used final phase 3 days before harvest and still have pure white ash,really good stuff.

as for mixing I have come up with my own method.ERIC BISCA from underground grower brought this up in a video so I looked into it.what I have found out is.
MIX your strong products first these are ones that will kill your beneficial bacteria,fungi,microbs,ect... so I mix my acids and my straight nutz like cal-mag,ect
once these are mixed and diluted then I mix my base nutz followed by my bacteria,fungi,microbs then I mix in the carbs.sugars,ect.that they feed on to shit out good stuff for the roots.

in order for my flowering cycle

H2
F1
Cal-mag
AN conni A+B
mother earth bloom
voodoo
sensizyme
big bud
bud candy
and or organic unsulfured molasses (mixed pryor with warm R.O water to dilute this stuff is thick)
im sure I am missing a bloom enhancer but this gives you an idea and YES i have noticed a difference the first one is im not KILLING all the money I spend on the live organisms when I pour acids directly on to them so I am saving money and getting better growth.

the 2ML is just a basis or ref for dilution does not mean your plants are ready for something that high or maybe its not enough in its life cycle

You will have to invest in a GOOD digital PPM/EC meter<<<< a must I use BLUE LAB combo meter that has PH,PPM,EC,CF,on a 500 scale (means at 1.0 EC = 500 ppm) I use Electrical Conductivity measure more than Parts Per Million as EC is a more exact metering of the salts in the solution.

If I did not cover a question you asked bare with me and I will be more than happy the answer if I missed.

I am so glad to find some one as passionate about AN as me!! Your plants look amazing!! We used FF for most of our first attempt, and it was ok, but heres a few pics of what they look like after 4 days of AN. These girls are on day 38 of flower.

What a beautiful grow you got going loving the looks of swiss cheese. I am intrested in growing Swiss cheese but aint sure about the flowering time is it 6 to 8 weeks as nirvana claims or do you let urs run for longer than that. I am looking at doing them in compost in 11 litre pots under 600w hps. Please enlighten us with this info (flowering time and avg yield per pot).

Some dried up bud pics of the swiss cheese would be great.

I have picked at 7 wk 8 wk and 10 wks I would say 8 and or 10 weeks 7 was not enough.trust me if you have the time and patience and if the buds will let you I would go 11 to 12 wk as long as trichromes do not get to amber.FYI they started to turn purple a week 10 that is Fullmoon,Blackjack,Swiss cheese(kinda weird more skunk in this strain) and Snow white,this also could be because of the 68 to 65 degree temps at nite and the final phase AN product I use leaches off nutrients very well

thank you for the comments guyz

Yes I do.
I get atleast 3 to 4 grows with about 60 percent of the product. the stuff I am always buying is...B52,Voodoo,Sensizyme,I use this the most and purchase atleast every flower but all the others on the nutrient calculator will last many grows...By the way never yield less than 1 3/4 lb per 1000w and that with 350-450 m2 plants not even the biggest yielders. AN all the way,FYI I do have a buddy that grows and he uses Canna A and B with Advanced nuts blooming enhancers and other an products I dont know his yield but product is awsome and he credits most of his growth to Big bud and Bud candy

Thank you.Yeah out of the 6 strains I selected from nirvana I have decided to drop ICE and keep the other 5 Ice cannot touch chrystal or snow white,my opinion
Full Moon is KING btw best flavor,smell,high and yield is NICE
