im not a big fan of adv nutes to expasive for what they are. i herd u have to use r/o water for the results they clim yadda yadda. i love humboldt an bc. i use humboldts ginormus it packs weight on nicely. also humboldt countys own crystal burst is great for oils and trichs.... its not a bloom booster.... i made that mistake. also i want to mention ive herd you shouldnt mix advanced nutes with other stuff but ive never used them. i would like to try sensi grow a-b an or conisour a-b, and mayb kushie kush for my bubba. the only thing i really know is mixing phosoload with other booster and what have you is bad. my rule of thumb dont double up on product like for example kool bloom and awsome blosom both bloom booster an what have you, just read the instructions most will let you know whats up like snowstorm tells you dont run over 1000 ppm. so hope this helps a have a growtastic day
So you have just heard… so you really have no idea…or what have you. Thanks for no help here. Maybe join the other AN haters in another forum. And the fact that you use Humbolt and didn't know the products you where using were not bloom boosters sounds like you might not be the best one to give advice.
Sucio: Here is some honest first hand advice.
I have been using AN for a while now. Palmdiggidy has not a clue what he is talking about, he is to busy listening hear say and reading bogus forums. You don't have to use R/O (its recommended, as it really should be with any nutrients for best results and accuracy) I personally don't use it. I just go through a sediment filter.
Yes, you can use other nutrients with AN. I use Roots Accelerator and other various products here and there. AN recommends to use just AN probably for two reasons. 1. Marketing of corse. 2. It is one of the most pH stable nutrient lines Ion the market. If you start to add other nutrients it can change that consistency. The non-pH Perfect line will pH at about 6.3 and pH Perfect is more like 5.7-6.0. pH Perfect is a whole different animal. I am in my first cycle of flower with it and pretty amazed. After about 4-5 days it creeps to 6.5. I see no issues with my plants, they are still feeding and growing perfect. Non-pH perfect, though stable, needs a reasonable pHing every day or 2 to keep it around 5.7
Now to answer your question about more shoots.
Veg:
Sensi Grow
Voodoo Juice
B-52
and I like to add some Sensizyme and Carboload every other feeding
I foliar feed with Nirvana every other week.
Nirvana and B-52 will give you nice shoots and a bushy plant.
When you flip to Flower.. Hit it with Bud Ignitor or Bud Blood for 2 weeks- this will give you more flower sites.
That should get you what your looking for along with topping.
Hope this info helps, have a great day.
