I have advanced nutrients; PH perfect, grow, micro, bloom and I have Fox Farms Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and ChaChing. I was wondering if I could mix the two brands. And if the Advanced Nutrients Micro Grow and Bloom will substitute for Fox Farms big bloom, grow big, and tiger bloom which I don't have.

Yeah, some nutrients are actually nutrients and some are just "supplements", that actually have pretty low levels of stuff. As long as you're careful and you know what each product contains (a lot of bottles dance around what they are/what they do. Always just read the "ingredients" its a lot more straightforward).
Its really important knowing what each bottle is, and what it does.

Why is that?
Couldnt tell ya, I have no clue how it sets my ph at 5.9 with either tap(ph of 9.1) or distilled water but it does. Mix in 5 mills cal/mag(before or after nutes), it will ph at 6.3 and drift, but if you add calnit and epsom instead of cal/mag and it will hold at 5.9, dont understand why but it is what it is. Budblood and carboload fuck it up also. It doesnt hurt anything but messes the ph perfect part up.

If i had to guess, it's because their buffer is very easy to break and maybe all AN additives are pH balanced so not to break the buffer. Just a guess.
