Hey there I use AN they are great, I also use B-52 and big bud. The ppm is to much if you mix by the bottle, I use 1 tablespoon of each per gallon of grow,micro,bloom and a half tablespoon of B-52 with great results. During flowering I use big bud so the base nutes need to be dropped to about 3/4 tablespoon.

Also I heard you get more bang for your buck using the big bud powder instead of the liquid but how would I mix that with the liquid grow micro bloom.

Okay...

1. Yes you can do fine with just the 3-part formula. You'll probably be happier if you use Big Bud too, but the base nutes will work.

2. Molasses is a bad idea in a hydroponic reservoir, but may work okay in your situation. Again, I'd recommend using Big Bud instead.

3. Powder vs. Liquid is more a question of which method of measuring you can do easiest. If the little bit you'll save using one or the other is important, do the math for yourself because prices will vary a little from shop to shop.

4. If you're hand-watering, which I'm guessing you are, you mix everything up by first determining how much water you need. Then figure out the amount of nutes you'll need for that much water. Don't use the numbers on the label as gospel, they're more of a guideline. Start out at half-strength for established plants, quarter strength for little guys. Mix in your 3-parts one at a time making sure to stir up well after each one. Then mix in the Big Bud or whatever else. One thing at a time, stirring well the whole time.
