Wow that sucks man. Years ago I had an issue with their 3 part when they first hit the market. There was some inconsistency with the micro. Weird little things that looked like brown snot floating around. They did dissolve when mixed so I put up with it the first time. However, it happened again and I returned it, based on the money-back guarantee. I got my money back from the shop but AN refused to refund them when they tried to return it through the distributor. I offered to cover half of it but the shop was very chivalrous and said no. I hated AN for years because of that. However, time passed, that particular shop has been gone for years, and a friend who I greatly respect recommended to me to try Sensi coco 2 part bloom. So I did... and it was awesome. Can't hold a grudge forever. I am sorry about your experience with it.The Sensi 2 part bloom is the worst liquid-based nutes that I have used.
After 9 weeks the clear liquid bottle had green spherical objects floating about in it and good luck sending it back to Mike for a refund.
Canna flores for me, they even add pH neutral silica, does AN do that? No.
It's funny. I wonder what that green stuff that you mentioned could have been? I wonder what sort of factory mistake or contaminant could create conditions where it would take over 2 months after purchase for these things to show up. I have of course heard of precipitation due to temperature change and storage conditions as well as interaction between calcium and phosphorous or calcium and sulfur in "one part" solutions. I have also experienced personally little round nuggets of precipitate in Flora Nova upon first opening after getting back from the shop, which thankfully eventually did dissolve when mixed, but this is the first time that I have ever heard of "little green spherical objects". Don't get offended for me asking this question, but you are quite sure that you didn't store it in some unusual way or temperature or exposure to light or cross-mixed anything, etc...? I ask only because of the 9 week time frame after purchase before it showed up.
Was never all that impressed with Canna. I am glad that you found something that works for you though. I know that it has some loyal users.
Edit: btw, you didn't mention if you used Sensi 2 part COCO . I have no experience with the "regular" Sensi 2 part.
