I have been growing for years and as of recently I decided I am going to switch and try out advanced nutrients. I know I know, if it's not broke don't fix it! But I really want to try there line and finally decided to. So I have been using for years Flora Duo A and B, superthrive, monster grow, house and garden root excelurator, cal mag, flora nectar, diamond nectar, armor si, completezym, floralicious plus, monster bloom, liquid w8 and dense. Now I spoke with one of the guys at grower support and he recommended starting out with sensi grow a and b, instead of the connoisseur a and b. He also said he would do the hobbyist bundle since im switching line ups, but I mean I have basically been doing a grand master level already, just not with there lineup. So I am wondering should I just do what he said and only go to the hobbyist level or go full force and go up to the grand master level which would include. Sensi grow a and b, B-52, voodoo juice, big bud, overdrive, piranha, bud candy, tarantula, nirvana, sensizym, bud ignitor, rhino skin, and bud factor x. Keep in mind this is 3019$ which money isn't an issue and I will glady spend it if it's worth it and the results are there. I know alot of people have used advanced here im sure, so I am just trying to get any insight, thanks so much.
Gonna give advnaced nutrients a try and insight is greatly appreciated

What I would do is for the first run I would use all there additives but at half the recommended strength just to get a feel for how good they are or not...So in the case that you're not satisfied, which is highly unlikely, you won't take such a huge hit to the pockets.

You are a growshops wet dream.
My whole garden cost around 3k, and it produces 15-30 ounces a week.
I use one bottle of nutrient 80% of the time and since i know my genetics are solid ( cheap too!) I'd throw my product up against yours all day. sorry to b a dick, I just can't believe people buy all that shit.
Maybe do a little research n make your own. Mbferts.com

Usually people know better after years in the hobby than to think it takes 14 bottles to grow a plant.
My advice to you is for you to educate yourself and simplify. Your product will improve and your wallet will thank you.

Or you could just use one bottle. Your call.

I've seen good results with AN. Talked to a guy that was in charge of clones, they sell hundreds of clones a day, and roots were just popping out everywhere in the cube. Without knowing what he used I mentioned that the roots looked excellent he said they were using AN, Tarantula, Sensi and PH perfect thats my observation.
I've used big bud in the past, and the results were ok. I didn't think it was worth the bottle hype.
For me, the cost is an issue with AN. If you look at typical agri fertilizers, they are way more concentrated, and usually not watered down.
But what I see alot of is people using parts of AN. My friend swears by bud ignitor, but grows in coco using canna. AN has figgured out that people are looking for very specific actions from their product, thats why AN's line is so granular in nature, and they charge accordingly.
Yes AN works but its very expensive, but you dont _need_ AN to grow Grade A flowers.

This is my journal^^^^
And it's not 23 bottles haha.
it's grow micro bloom
b52
voodoo juice
piranha
tarantula
microbial munch
bud ignitor
bud candy
big bud
bud factor x
cal mag
nirvana
overdrive
final phase
rhino skin
17 to be exact. But most are small 250 ml bottles per grow. Yea some like the bud factor x are pricey. But their base 3 part is only like $10 or less per liter. Some of the other additives are pretty cheap too. I spend less than $300 every time between promix and nutrients.
I've tried multiple different brands. I've tried organic. Just never got as good of results as with ADVANCED NUTRIENTS. also they always seem to have the most strains winning the cannibus cup every year too.

Well I used promix in 7 gallon pots. It takes me 2 bails of promix hp every time. They are right around $40 each. Sometimes I'll score a deal for 2 for $60. So that's almost a 3rd of my cost every time. When I mix my nutes I used a 30 gallon brute garbage can and mix around 20 gallons per water at 50% recommended dosage.

Damn them are some donkey dicks! Haha. You can see the sour D in it but you can tell we each got different traits of the strain.

I don't understand how you're able to use 17 different bottles of nutrients and not have plants burnt to a crisp with A & B. The plant had tip burn anurs/liter of A & B.
Beautiful!
I water half strength every time. At half strength my ppm is only 700 During peak flower when im adding all the different kinds of nutes. Some of the things don't add much ppms at all. I also never ever alter my ph. I add everything and let it set for an hour with a bubbler. Them check it and ph is right around 6.0.
the pics i added are of my last run. This plant had 8 days left to go and was in the flush stage. Its the same sour diesel strain im running now from the same mother. These were grown using the same nutes.

Also what strain and how many days into flower were them pics?

Out of respect for you patients, you should not call that 'sour diesel' but rather just 'diesel' or something. The plant looks nice but it's definitely not sour diesel.
