Hi, I’ve read many threads and comments here and there, but I still haven’t found the answers to solve my problems. Hope u guys, especially who used to use and are using Advanced Nutrients can help me. You can answer any questions or anything you know or anything you want to advise me. I’m really grateful to all of you.
I’ve just started using AN 3-part (Grow - Micro - Bloom).
My medium contains 40% Coco, 15% worm castings, 20% perlite and 15% peat moss.
Light: Marshydro sp3000
I have some questions below:

I have some questions below:
- From your feelings & experience, AN line is the best for which type of medium? Soil or coco or coco mix (or soil-coco mixture)? Is my medium suitable? Do I need to change anything in this formula? Should I add more soil and reduce coco?
- I’ve already had AN 3-part, so, in your opinion, which supplement bottles should I use? Which ones are really worth the money? Which ones are the “must-have” in the entire nutrient line & which bottles are unnecessary to use? Is Bud Factor X really helpful and worth paying?
- With the above medium, what should be the pH of my irrigation water? 5.5-6.0 or 6.0-6.5? (It makes me confused ‘cause my medium contains both soil & coco)
- The pH of my input water is 8.0, 100 ppm, and some people said that AN can automatically adjust the pH so that you don’t need to worry. So, do I really need to remeasure the solutions after mixing and adjust the pH to the required level or just ignore them?
- When mixing nutrients, is there any order of bottles I should follow? After watering the 1st time, when should I water the 2nd time (if you can, please let me know the percentage of the root dryness at which you water the next time).
- I was told to follow the route: nutes-water-nutes in order to avoid nutrient-burn. Is this really true? Or should I feed my plants continuously at a suitable level?
- If possible, could you share with me your feeding schedules which you use and have good results?
