Hmm on an 8 week strain, with conoisseur for the first 3 weeks, I would guess it was what gave you the tight nodes.
Maybe the sensi will do it too.

the wedding is still off.
It was just a matter of time before you came charging in the door, chainsaw in hand. Why do you think I said I was dreading this topic. I'm between a rock and a hard place. I have a huge yield from AN in one hand, and my best online growing buddy, Kitty, on the other. What's a motherfucker to do?
chainsaw? no, this is more like you just came home to a beeeyooootifully prepared meal, right up to and including homemade chocolate-dipped-strawberry-cheesecake, and kitty glowering in the dark in a french maid's outfit and runny makeup quietly asking where you've been all night.
i'm not super concerned. you've only just started your nute experiment extravaganza.![]()

I've always felt that if you're not growing live soil organic, there's no need for carbs to feed a microherd that isn't there. This is the same reason I wouldn't use AN's Pirahna, Tarantula, and any other bio's in the line. I have tried to mix chem nutes with myco's, fungi, and bacterias (along with carbs to feed them all) with zero improvements. But, when growing live soil organic, these additives are the life blood of the medium. I think that these additives should be classified in AN's Organic line. I also question AN's repetition of magnesium sulfate in Bud Candy and Bud Factor X (and I think one more). Maybe there's more to these than the mag sulfate listed, but they really should say so. Instead of paying $92 for a liter of Bud Factor X (with just ,5% mag), I went with my old standby Cutting Edge Mag Amp with 1% mag at $25/liter.
I am very pleased with the results from the AN nutes I used. I still am very conservative over what $$$ I will spend on additives. I can't help but feeling that there's a big hard dick aimed right at my ass, just waiting for me to slip up and take the monetary ass rape of a lifetime. For the time being, I'm sticking with Sensi Bloom (maybe back to Connoiser), Big Bud, B-52, and Overdrive. These are what gave me the killer results on the harvest being trimmed right now. The only unknown is how much the Connoiser helped. I used it for the first 3 weeks of bloom till I ran out...then switched to Sensi Bloom. If it was the Connoiseur that gave me the node spacing, I'd have no problem paying up for that in the future. The increase in yield just from the tighter nodes added up to several thousand dollars.
Wha--? I'll pay for shipping...send ME the nutrients lol.OK OK...I give up. I'll throw it all away tomorrow...and the plants fed with it. Down with AN. How DARE you play the runny makeup card?
so check this shit out CG my local shop carrys AN and isnt a big pusher of it but they do carry all there nute line! chillin with the shop
owner and he gets a phone call from a VP in sale from AN, and to cut to the chase they say thank you for your bisness and sales of
nutes but they would like him to start carry the badass line of AN products! well he and I know those products are shit and you would
be crazy to buy them! so he politley says no thanks, then they say as of the 1st of oct to carry any AN products you must carry all of
them! likw wtf!!!!!!! so he blows his top and tells them to go fuck themselfs lol was the funnyest shit ever. well they do know how to
market/push there products![]()
I know exactly what you speak of. AN pulled that shit with my local hydro shop, too. They put up a little Bad Ass display in the corner. Of the 2 or 3 Bad Ass units that sold, half came back within a month. My hydro shop owner passed that info on to AN, along with notice that they would no longer display Bad Ass products. They keep like 2 ballasts, 2 inlines, and 2 fans on a shelf in the back warehouse. In exchange for the display, my hydro shop owner just agreed to put up 3 Bad Ass posters.
I also got my grimy little hands on the Advanced Nutrients sales records for the past 3 years in my local store. It's a pretty good indicator of what everybody else is doing with the nutes. Obviously, Sensi Bloom and Big Bud are number one. Alot of people paying up for the Bud Factor X as well. My friend who uses pretty much the whole line swears by that shit. He said there was a big yield improvement when he started using the Bud Factor X, and that there's more to it than just magnesium sulfate.
On a side note, my room almost burned down yesterday. I'm still working offshore, but my wife was there when a cheap lighting timer failed and caused the power cord plug to melt, and then start throwing flames. Lots of drama. She said all 12 of the timers are very hot, as well as 3 plugs. We ordered 2 CAP 8 light controlllers that Commercial J will install for me today in I am not back from fishing. Also found out that Phantom Ballasts can operate on a voltage from 90 volts to 275 volts. I was running 110v because my 220 leg is only 190 volts. This killed 3 Lumatek ballasts. But, now all my ballasts are Phantom, and I'm going to the 220V leg...even though it's just 190v.
