Oh well, at the risk of starting a war, I'd like to ask if any of you have tried Advanced Nutrients.

They are expensive and confusing, yet many people like them.

I'm currently using Dyna-Gro 3-part nutrients (Grow, Bloom, Pro-Tect). A very well respected member over at RollItUp did a side-by-side grow that was identical except for the nutrients used. On one grow he used Dyna-Gro, and on the other he used Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect Connesiour (one of their most expensive lines).

His results were that Dyna-Gro slightly outperformed Advanced Nutrients, and at a much lower price.

Has anybody here used Advanced Nutrients?

i run advanced...
i like the way my plants look...
hows the dyna grow?
jmansweed nute study lines em all up....

not to defend one brand over another but i dont believe any of the three or two part systems to be that much diff from each other....
the reason i like and use advanced is the additives ..
my two cents

My favorite and the only nute I use is AN's Jungle Juice 3part (not the new one ffor coco or the the one that is called 2 part but is actually 4part). I love the results that I get from it. I tried it on a fluke as I was looking for something better than the Nutraffield coco line, and I just happened to read some data on it at the hydro online-store and decided to try it. I have only used a few different nute brands so I don't have much to compare to but when I tried the JJ, I immediately fell in love (as did my plants) with the way it works. It is a stand alone base nutrient and I have run it by itself and got excellent results.

But I do amend it a little for running it with coco coir medium. I add cal/mag from Technaflora because it does need the extra punch off the cal/mag ffor running in hydro/coco. I also found that the use of hygrozyme is very helpful regardless off what nute brand you use. I do use some Thrive alive from Technaflora(only twice) when I transplant new veg girls and when I switch to fflower. Aside ffrom those, I don't see the need for anything extra.

The one caveat with the JJ 3part is that it isn't one off the pH Perfect nutes that they offer. On the contrary, it has no pH buffers in it and has to be pH adjusted when used initially for soil/soilless applications, and it has to be adjusted periodically when used in hydro. However, I found that I prefer to control my own pH adjusting as I like to allow my pH to drift across a spectrum which allows the plants to get the most out off the nutes (IMHO)

I second Hushpuppy and after 3 other nutrient regiments, I'm going to be using Jungle Juice 3-part exclusively for the duration of my horticultural experience.

Nute Regiment:
Jungle Juice 3-part
Cal-Mag
Hygrozyme
Pure Blend Tea
Bloombastic
Thrive Alive (B-vit)
Foliar Spray = Dutch Masters - Liquid Light + Saturator
H2O2

Keeping it real, I tested the AN line they "claim" to be the equivalent to General Hydroponics when it came out and found it to be utter crap as a stand alone product. The shelf life was 3 months tops before it starts to grow mold in the veg nute in a brand new sealed container kept in a cool dry cabinet I use to store all nutes. Opened up a second sealed container after I noticed the opened one had mold in it, and the brand new bottle was full of mold. Took it back to the store to have them replaced, and was told by the owner, we'll never carry that crap again...

I have also always found it odd that anyone who has ever had a positive thing to say about that company uses 15 additives to compensate for it.

I don't know, I get 5-8 Oz's per plant in my 4x4 tents off the stuff. I think it works great, and I'm extremely sorry to hear about your issues with mold. :(

Double Post sorry, ignore this one lol

I hate to use the word , [can we call it naive?] but call it what you will. Again, using "7" extra products is not only costly [cause we all know by the time you add all the extra's to their base your nutes they are very expensive] but isn't the whole idea of using AN because they are "cheap"?

AN does not claim to be a "better" product, only cheaper.

That is the reason I see a lot of people go to their line because they are about 30% cheaper than GH, and Big Mike uses that reason solely to sell his inferior products. Then he sells all these extra products with the fancy colorful labels at twice to sometimes three times the cost as the closest competitor making you spend tons of extra cash.

My nutes are Flora Bloom, and Flora micro for the base. I add Protek Silica because I use an RODI for my make up water so all silica is removed in that process so it is needed and would be with any base product. It also helps at keeping PH stable.

I also add liquid Kool Bloom and recently started adding the product Sugar Daddy but tbh I see no real benefit from it so when it is done it will be gone.

I'm not here to tell anyone who uses the stuff to change what your doing. Quite frankly I really don't care if you like to spend tons of cash on nutes, but this thread was asking for feedback on AN and my feedback is you can do a whole lot better for a lot less money.

And lastly, no Surfinc you are correct, the additives are doing something. They are making up for everything the base nutes don't do as a stand alone product you can do in other lines. AN was also able to get you to "buy in" to their cheaper than GH motto then sell you tons of extras through their advertising and pretty bottles of snake oil, so hats off to them and grabbing another victim.

so with flora micro flora bloom some liquid cool bloom and silica you run the whole tray the whole time...sounds great i guess ill try it..next set kids go in this week...should be fun...il start a journal maybe although got too much going on

Can I ask what medium?
Also do you use any Mitochondria or anything like that at transplants??

I have to disagree with you PJ I am using JJ 3 part by itself and my my pants are doing fine. All three bottles cost me $25 ( 3 litres). JJ is the same as GH 3 part. I have had mine for over 3 months and I am sure it sat in the store for a while also so mold is not an issue for me.
JackRyan420 give it a try, it is cheap and simple to use. If you like your Dyna grow keep using it.

The results don't look inferior. I used Gh Flora Nova before I switched. It worked good too but I think the JJ is just as good so far and is cheaper.

funny how the world leans towards the pricer chem lines when they could get the same results when using purly organic amendmants.
less problems, easier to fix, no ppm ph ect testing. mix, add water and grow. the bigger u get your plants the better they do, clones run way better and having a sustainable garden, environmentally controlled. safer healthier product period!

Right, $25 compared to $45

Thank you Surfinc, I try to keep ph at around 6.5. I am following the directions on the bottle for feeding as this is my first time using the Jungle Juice. I like how my plants like the JJ and this is with no additives. We will see how it does in flower.

Simmer down now, If you read my post again I am describing my results I have had so far. We will see how good it is in flower. No debate, just stating facts.

Sorry PJ I forgot about my Budding to early plant. I used GH flora Nova for grow and JJ for bloom with overdrive the last two weeks. This was an auto plant that turned out quite well.
