advanced nutrients sensi grow+2 in soil

Start at 4ml/g work up 2ml each time till u hit full. Ull have no problems unless ur starins a pussy... Haha jk

shortly can we say that we can use sensi grow A+B and sensi bloom A+B for soil growing?
or is it better use "Advanced Nutrients - Grow & Bloom & Micro" ???
i have been trying to order something for 10 hours

The amount I use is 2 tablespoons A&B for 2 gal water can (all amts are based on 2 gal). Amount stays the same throughout veg and bloom. This is the amount I have been using for the last 6 grows. Sensi is a base nutrient - I add Sensizyme, Floraliscious (grow or bloom), piranha & tarantula (first 2 weeks veg & bloom - 1tsp ) and sweeteners. The last 3 weeks of bloom I add overdrive and Bud blaster (1 tsp). I average 7 oz a plant in 7 gal Smart pots. I have had 0 neut burn and I feed twice a week. Hope this helps

I use a soil less potting mix, if i transplant a clone, i let it get rootbound before the 1st water, this is very important at an early stage because the only way roots grow is when they have to search for water.of coarse i flush the mix before transplanting with Phd water. and actually i put in 5 ML per gallon of B-52 to encourage root growth. but nothing else. once it is dry and very light, but before wilting or drooping. i water with food, what i do is measure with a ML seringe. there are approx 3.78 liters in 1 gallon so i round to 4. times everything by 4, and for the 1st watering i did 3/4 strength. which was 6 ML of B-52 and Sensi Zyme. and 12 ML of Sensi A-B. This is just what i do and it works great. i have gone up to 20ML a plant of everything per gallon when in flower, so i know this is not too much but good for young ones, i recommend moving the strength up to full after 1st watering, dont ever veg for too long!!!

6+6 or 12 each?

sorry for the noob question

I use Sensi Grow for Veg and Sensi Bloom for Flower. I tried many of A.N additives as well. Now, I use the Sensi Line exclusively. I give them 16ml of A and 16ml of B per gallon. Just Like the label says. I measure a tad less to compensate for the molasses I also add. I have a tds meter and I always make the mix 1040ppm-1075ppm. Found my meter for under $15.00 on Ebay. I give them half of these numbers until they veg to the 4th node. I give them the same 1040ppm for Bloom nuts A&B. I grow in Fox Farm Happy Frog with a gallon of perlite in a 5gal bucket. I feed as follows: (Water, nothing, nothing, Feed, nothing, nothing, water, nothing, nothing, Feed, etc...) Feeding in this manner has never yielded me a nutrient overdoes or underdone. I have full deep green all over, all the time, in every grow. I swear by AN in soil. Haven't done hydro though. Heard it's even better for that.

Also Advanced Nutrients has PH stabilizing chemicals already included to adjust to any tap water. I have also confirmed this with my own PH meter. It always come in at around 6.4 Random run-off test never indicate a salt build-up and usually weigh in around 6.7. I keep immaculate charts in order to test such things. I am sure my results are not an anomaly.

-His Dudeness

Forgot to mention, my first grow with the Sensi Line, I feed them the 1040ppm at every water (Feed, nothing, nothing, Feed, nothing, nothing, Feed...) I didn't notice anything different than I do now except using twice as much nutrients. Looking back, I am shocked that the grow completed without nutrient problems. It has tempted me every grow to double again to test the difference in yield; but it is again, twice as costly (and a risk I wont take without being as ignorant as I was before). A.N aren't cheap, but they're worth the extra coin.

U will be happy if u would follow what genesis said Ud be suprised how much plants love dem additives

The A.N Coiniseuer is great. But so, expensive. Who is Genesis? What did he say? I would love to see some side-by-side experiments with the additives.

i grow in soil.

i've used the sensi bloom and grow off and on for years. i like it. i always use full strengh, except for the first feeding in veg (1/2 strength). i also use big bloom. i would recommend you start off at 1/4 or 1/2 strength for the first feeding. you'll see how they do and go from there. i usually use FF ocean forest.

i'm always surprised when i read folks saying that they never use full strength. i rarely get any nute burn. once in awhile i'll have a weak feeding genetic that doesn't like full strength but that's rare. i more often have a genetic that needs more N, than the sensi product provides in flower.

years ago, i used about 10 AN products. i'm down to 3 now. much less work.

Duder genesis wrote on the top of this page go see he usies a lot of good additives I use to..

I tried about 200 dollars worth of them a couple years ago. I did notice a much denser bud and taste, etc... But when I compare those memories to what I get now with just the Sensi Line, i can't validate the costs. If I had the cash, of course they are worth it. But, if you can't really afford it, my point is the Sensi Line will get you all the way without worries of under/overdose. My buds are always a knock-out punch.

Has anyone come across someone that tried each A.N additive alone with the Sensi line to test the results of each. That would be so helpful. I have the room, but not the cash and patients.

AFAIK no one outside AN's labs has done anything like that, and if they have they haven't published the info anywhere I could find. Of course the AN haters would just call the info marketing BS either way so it doesn't really matter. It would be an interesting study, though.

It would have to be done under tightly-controlled conditions or else it wouldn't be much use. Like either all at the same time using identical grow tents and cycling the plants around so that any possible variables in environment would be ruled out, or more likely one thing at a time grown with a plain Sensi base control group each time. That way any possible flukes between grows would be reflected in the control group and be able to be accounted for.


But I agree with your overall assessment. There's a line that varies from person to person that defines where the extra juggling of additional boosters doesn't provide enough reward in the final product. For me it's right around 6 or 7 additives. More than that and it starts feeling like work and not fun. A buddy of mine would be happy if he could mix everything from the component fertilizer salts, he just doesn't have the time. Then there's guys like you that are more than happy with what they get with base nutes.

That's what I like about Advanced Nutrients: you can draw the line wherever you want because they've got so much versatility in the line.
