Advanced Nutrients vs Roots Organics

I would like to use an organic fertilizer system this next time around. Ive narrowed it down to these two and I wanted to know if anyone has used both.

I used the Roots Organics Original soil mix for my last grow and really liked it. This time around I'm thinking about using 1 part Roots Organics Original and 2 parts of Roots Organics Green Lite. Green Lite drains a little better and apparently is geared towards indoor use so thats why id like to give it a go.

Thanks for any opinions.

dude im intrested in your results i have been a great fan of dutch master floration, for years and also advance and a few other lines but i want to tell you a lil about thier history advance changes formulas without letting people know i know a lot of big grows gone wrong with advance their xfactor in aroe they changed the kemicals around without letting people know, they lost alot of people along the way, changing lables and switing shit around and also their formulas lacking in something, i talked to their rep and he told me you didnt hear it from me but. bla bla bla, and so i tell you this man dont give your full heart to advance untill you know how your plants react were they should be and check your re sometime thier shit turns to a phome in the water and kills or rots your roots i still use them though i lost crops back wen i just use their base a and b and bud candy but im scared to fuck with thier shit at times im always checking to bad they arent willing to loose money to recall thier shit they rather it be sold and you loose your crop i hit five hydro stores in 200 mile perimiters and got the same products i finaly ask what the fucked happend to the color and the chemicals they told me they wont say but that the lables changed and the formula has been alterd to say the least all five stores had complaints for the more experienced growers that new something was wrong thats not co, thats a fact so just learn your plants and know when to flush and jump to another formula, and this is on everything i love good luck..

It's difficult to offer really concrete advice without a bit of knowledge on your growing arrangement. It sounds like you're probably growing in soil based on what you're saying, but it's not completely clear if that's the case.

Advanced Nutrients products are mainly designed for hydroponics. They work great in soil too, but they're really going to shine best in a hydroponic environment. Any decent hydro nute can run in soil, the trick there is that soil has some nutritional value for the plants already, and the media can trap additional nutes and create salt-buildup. So you have to be careful not to overfeed soil plants using hydroponic nutrients. Of course you can overfeed them with soil nutrients too, and you can overfeed hydro plants with hydro nutes... it's always something you have to keep in mind. But the point is that hydro nutes in soil is a common way for new growers to burn their plants. (Newer growers are frequently prone to the "if some is good, more is better" mistake in feeding plants.)

My experience is that Advanced Nutrients has always given me the best grows. Every single time I've stood in my grow room right before the chop and felt like my chest was going to burst in pride, the bottles on the shelf said Advanced Nutrients on them. That that for what it's worth. I would say if you're going hydroponic, AN is the way to go. I know lots of guys who just as well (some even better than me) using AN in soil. Personally, I think soil is an unnecessary headache and I like the faster growth of hydro. To each their own.

Ultimately it matters more how you grow than what you feed your plants. (That said, you don't see any cup winners using Miracle Grow. For a reason.)
