Hi all, I need some help regarding using nutrients. I am growing 4 plants with a 450 LED light, SuperAirpots, soil and Advanced Nutrients. I water every day (daily) with 500ml using Advanced Nutrients. I want to start using Big Bud, Overdrive, Voodoo Juice and B 52, my question is how much of these 4 do I use and, more importantly, how often do I give them these nuts either daily or once a week. Thanks a lot, in advance.

First things first...you posted this in the wrong section, this section is for making requests for site changes.
The only advice I can give you is that you need to learn to grow before you even think of buying all of those products. Nutrients don't make a new grower successful, and over feeding is one of the most common problems new growers face. I would suggest looking for a simple 2-part nutrient line to use. If you are going with Advanced Nutirents then just get their Sensi Grow A/B and only feed that, at half dose, once a week during veg. Then use their Sensi Bloom A/B and feed only that, at half dose, once a week during flower. You also need to stop watering every day if you are growing in soil. You need to let soil dry out between waterings, in order for the roots to get enough oxygen, so you want to water until you get some run-off, then wait until the soil is dry a couple of inches down from the top before you water again, which is usually every 2-3 days.

I agree with @TreeFarmerCharlie Keep it simple.
Since you have the advanced nutrients already, assuming the 3 bottle, that is all you need. Maybe some calmag if you are using ro water

Thanks for the reply, i am new to this site so only starting to post. I am not new to growing but new to using these nutrients. I water and feed every day as I monitor dampness and do not over water. Soil is dry 30mm deep each day. Where do I post these type of questions to and can anyone help with the original question, do I feed these 4 nuts daily or weekly ? Thanks

The 4 you listed are supplemental nutes meant to be used along with their a/b line or 3 part. Never used them but they should say how much and when on their website or the bottle. Good base nutrition should be your concern
I have looked everywhere but cannot find an answer to this. Thanks for the reply, also where on this site should I post these type of questions, thanks again.

For soil grows most people start out with 50% of the dose mentioned on the bottles and water twice between each feed. If you feed more than that then you are going to get salt build up and will need to deal with nutrient lockout. You also need to water until run-off to prevent nutrient lockout. If you want to keep your soil watered daily, like you are doing, then you'd be better off doing an all organic grow.

This would be a good place to post general questions https://www.rollitup.org/f/general-marijuana-growing.39/

The mods will move this one.
What are you using for base nutrients?
And on the advanced nutrients website, if you mouse over products at the top, you can select each one and see the recommended feed and which weeks to use them
