Hi Growers :)

Just started third week of flowering,looks like they're going pretty well *-*

Till last week was feeding my ladies with Advaced Nutrients Sensi Bloom A+B,
since I've finished Sensi Bloom A+B can I replace the Base nutrient (Sensi Bloom A+B) with FloraNova Bloom and continue to use other additives from AN like Bigbud,Carboload,Overdrive,Nirvana ?

Any of the additives from AN will work with other nutes so no problem there. Why do you want to change horses in the middle of the stream tho?

I went back to the 3 - part AN nutes so I can better limit N in later flowering but wouldn't switch to a product owned by a company like GH/mon$anto/scotts/bayer. Giving money to companies that get filthy rich poisoning the planet and it's people/animals is repugnant to me. FloraNova is too high in P in relation to K for my liking at 4-8-7 as well.

Buy a liter each of AN Micro and Bloom then use it at the ratio of 1:2, M:B along with Big Bud and the rest is what I'd do. Working fine for me.

:peace:

I'm not switching, I'm cool with AN..pretty good results!!! Just finished almost all my Nutes and can't afford new one at the moment:oops::oops:

Are you sure that 5ml FloraNova and 8ml of Big Bud,Bud Candy,Nirvana per Gallon will be not a little bit too hot? (don't have a ppm meter :oops: )

Just trying to figure out how to best mix that I have;
  • FloraNova
  • Bigbud
  • Carboload
  • Overdrive
  • Nirvana
  • Act Vera (Bio Bizz)
  • Alg-A-Mic (Bio Bizz)
Will appreciate any kind of help :roll::roll:

P.s: I'm using Metric Liters Measurement

8ml each of all those things? I only use full doses of the BB from the beginning of flip then back off to about half after the stretch with low doses of the Micro and Bloom too. Still got nute burn on a few plants especially the Blue Heaven tho I thought it was a heavier feeder when I grew it last a few years back.

What are you growing your plants in? Sounds like pots of some sort of soil/soilless. Makes a difference.

:peace:

Doesn't AN recommend halving the doses when using BB and Nirvana together? I've never tried this, but have tried base, BB & OD, and just base and Nirvana.

AN's feeding charts suck and I've never used them. Follow their directions and nute burn is guaranteed. I've never seen any directions for best use when growing in dirt or soilless and have had to figure that stuff out myself over the years.

I just use the 3 - part, Rhino Skin, Big Bud and OverDrive. Likely drop the OD as I don't ever see any difference using it. Got some other CalMag and use that sparingly along with with a little epsom salts and some molasses for the pot grown girls. I got to rig up a RDWC as I'm not a great dirt farmer and can always get double or better in hydro.

yea, last grow I was using Sensi Bloom as Base Nute at full strength (4ml/L) with additives like B-52,Bud Candy,Sensizym,Bigbud,Nirvana,Bigbud,Carboload,Overdrive,Nirvana 2ml/L (at last 2 weeks switched from BB to OD) had some nute burn but nothing to worry about it...

I'm using BioBizz Light Mix + 10% /15% perlite

I know that CalMag is working like charm,but atm cant afford the new nutes,prefer to finish what I have without burning the plants
