Advanced Nutrients

Hello all, I would like to know if anybody has ever used just Sensi Grow/Bloom with no other supplements? I just started my first hydroponic (dwc) grow and I was planning on doing just that. I'm not overly concerned about the cost of using multiple cocktails, more for simplicity sake? Should I be using supplements, are they necessary?...any or all comments are welcome

Roseman must have some new super fast genetics.

I would plan on 140-160 days til harvest
if you start from seed.

You might grow that fast with clones.

I'm affraid we'll never know he closed the thread because people were hi-jacking it putting up their grows and it made him mad I would've loved to see it finished.
I read See More Buds Book and in it he talks about putting plants in the flowering cycle when they're smaller when using CFL's for light because of light saturation issues he feels the plants genetics are a major factor and believes a shorter plant will produce tighter buds and a will produce the same yield as a taller one under HPS.
So maybe this is how Roseman goes about it maybe he puts the plant into flowering mode at an earlier stage maybe at a foot tall but this is just a guess.

Yeah. The new formulas are supposed to have the more of the "5 in 1" mix so just the base will have enough for plants, no additives needed.

please keep this an advanced nutrients thread. Thank you everyone.
 
Sorry sometimes my mind drifts I'll keep on subject, no problem.
I'm glad to hear I won't have to buy additional supplements I'm hoping to start using the Sensi Grow A/B in a week or two the plants are still to small and I have some seeds that haven't sprouted yet.
I started a couple of new ones in paper towel yesterday because of this and when I looked at the Bubbleponic system this morning one of the older seeds had just broke through, figures right.
I guess it's just a case of being too anxious and not being patient enough to wait.
I do have a question that maybe you can answer I mixed up a gallon of the nutes and noticed later that it had seperated from the water you can see a heavier liquid on the bottom of the jug, is this normal?
Do you think this will happen in the res. or will the water pump and the bubbles keep it stirred up enough?

I haven't had a problem. I have mixed 60-75% of the products and there has been no issues. I think the products mix great! The nutes can settle a bit like you have seen but once in the tub there is plenty of agitation so the nutes stay nicely mixed.

I use the powder. More economical. I was putting it into a water bottle to shake well but the last few times I have just mixed it into big jug and stirred. They are both one in the same formulas but the liquid contains fulvic acids.
 
I was on the fence trying to decide whether to use Big Bud but I ordered the powder from a site that was way cheaper than any other I saw online if it's ok to post the link let me know I don't want to break any rules on here.
But if it's ok to post the link this site has all the Advanced Nutrients for alot less.
Let me know.
Thanks
 
I have to check out that powder the next time I’m out shopping. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Never have an empty bowl…

I use Sensigrow A&B and Sensibloom A&B 2 part AN nutes.
I add some barricade to adjust the pH up,
and during flower I add some Potash plus to increase the pH.
I add some fulvic acid and Sensizyme also.
These are all the additives that you need for hydro.

The Sensizyme and F1 may be left out,
depending on your system.

I use RO.

I've never had to increase my ph yet, but I'm only 21 days into veg. I'm using tap water, ph is 7.2-7.3. I add my nutes then bring down to 5.6 by using phosphoric acid. I'm finding the ph drifts up to 6.0-6.1 after 24h..Is this normal or is this a sign of underfeeding? I've been told a rising ph is a result of underfeeding and dropping ph from overfeeding.

I've been mixing my nutes as per the feed chart on AN's website, but I'm wondering if I need to go a little stronger because I'm only using Sensigrow?
 
I use Bigbud, Hammerhead, Overdrive, Revive and genius oil neem oil.
Its not a bad lineup but im moving over to Canna.

If you ever switch to RO water
then your pH will need to be adjusted up
once or twice, before your next rez change out.

Since you are using tapwater,
it is better to maintain low nute loads

When the pH becomes stable
it is time to change out
(tapwater pH rule)

Here is the $100 cure:

Mother earth Tea grow and Bloom
are organics that will work in soil.

Your soil grow will benefit from using RO water.
 
and those are for both stages of life of the plant? and the water that you get at walmart the water dispenser machine uses or does reverse osmosis to clean it is that the same?

Yes to both of your questons.
