Advance nutrients are the best !

Well thanks again and thank you for your time . I'll definitely be incorporating some of that into my grow.I don't do any kind of flush but do reduce feeding after week 6 for a known 9 week strain. Just kind of go by how the plant is looking. I'll give it nothing but RO water with a bit of Epsom salts the last week or two. Harvest when all trichs are good and cloudy but usually in stages. I'll take the ripe colas off the top and let the lower stuff ripen up more as they can still be mostly clear yet. I trim fresh off the plants and sl0-dry in doubled paper bags for up to 5 weeks before jarring up the buds for burping another few weeks. Have fairly severe arthritis in my hands so hate trimming and trimming after they've hung to dry is a lot harder than fresh. Only trimming the nicest buds and freezing a lot fresh for later processing into oils these days.
I've been growing with 400W bulbs too with Hortilux Super HPS being my fave. Picked up 3 used 600W digital ballasts, hort hps bulbs and reflectors for $60 each last Dec out in BC so using those when needed. Have a couple of 1000W units too.

Homebrewer has a thread of AN vs Dyna. I was about to buy AN but what I liked about Dyna is that even the owner tells you you jut need to use Foliage pro from start to finish, if growing in a potted medium. It seemed a lot easier for me. I also believe in Uncle Bens technique of keeping healthy green leaves throughout the entire grow and that seems to be consistent with what the owner of Dyna says.

Why do you need some customer support phone rep from AN to tell you to stake up your plants? These guys are not messiah's for stating the obvious. People have been using stakes to hold up plants for years and years. It's a simple concept. I have about a hundred bamboo stakes I use to stake up plants. The idea didn't come from some guy at AN.

Canadian company with no ties to disgusting corporations like Monsanto, Bayer, Hawthorne, GH and Scott's who are now all in bed together and have fought AN's openness about using their nutes for growing pot since AN started. Now that pot is becoming legal all over those pricks are jumping on the bandwagon and suddenly good for pot too. Hypocrites!
The pH Perfect aspect of AN nutes makes them more valuable to me and if you actually checked out the prices of their base nutes you would see they are the same or can be even cheaper than GH and others. I got gallon jugs the last time I bought them at $40 each at a hydro store in Kelowna, BC. The GH was $48 each.
The supplements are too expensive and not needed really so if you don't fall for the marketing they don't cost much. Nutes are a very small percentage of my growing costs anyway. Power is what costs the majority of my indoor grows. Everybody sells a bunch of different supplements for too much money too but AN is the bad guy? Seen how much is charged for all the organic goodies needed to build these elaborate super soils?!
Use what you want but bashing anyone for their choices is childish and generally born out of ignorance and influence from paid shills who work for the big corporate back-stabbers.

While I don't care for AN and will never use their products I never mentioned anything negative about AN in this thread. It seemed as though you had an awakening by being advised to use stakes to hold up your plants. But since I'm already being called a hater then AN Sucks Balls.

If people who have a problem with AN spent less tim typing and more time understanding and following directions wouldn't confuse products in their mixes.
