-Sensi coco A & B
-voodoo Juice
-GH silica

AN ph perfect is also EC perfect they just dont state it
in coco though ECs i aim for are. 450 - seedlings, 1200-1300 early to late veg, 1300-1600 early to late bloom then 200 to ripen and 0-50 flush, i grow in coco centered in hydroton in a net pot and plants love it

OK thanks for the info, I read a lot of people’s comments on AN that they used recommended amounts and fried their plants, I plan to test the EC before I open the valves to the reservoir but just wanted an idea of what others are finding works

im glad you brought it up i blanked the fact i only run half strength 
and then i top off with plain ro for the rest of the week
Nice to know they brought back voodoo juice. I loved that stuff. I was so disappointed when I found out they discontinued it.
This is an update to my original post. I mixed the Advanced Nutrients Sensi coco as the label advised and diluted to 420 EC for my seedlings and later 1100 for young plants. They developed a mild cal/mag deficiency. I now mix up the base nutrients as advised and dilute to desired EC using general hydro calimagic 1ml/l water. Growing great so far. I hope this helps someone out

How did your 1ml per liter calmag supplement workout?
I’ve been running a full dose 2ml per liter of sensi calmag xtra?
And, would you say the Big Bud, Over Drive, & Flawless Finish are worth it?
So you only use nutes once a week and then the rest it’s just str8 RO water?
Are you watering until runoff with the straight RO water?

I no longer use advanced Nutrients. But it worked good, I had an issue with the sediments in the reservoir and autopot system. I liked the big bud and overdrive. I did t use flawless finish because I don’t do a flush period at the end of the grow. It is not necessary and pointless.

How often was the sedimate in the res? Going autopot and AN for my next grow indoors.
I ran a small fountain pump in the reservoir to keep the nutrients mixed and cleaned out the reservoir about every two weeks, but the nutrients would leave sediment in the trays. It didn’t seem to effect anything but I switched to a cleaner nutrient line

Ah ok gotcha, I go through this with my Humdifiers with algae until I added Peroxide. I did get a wave maker for the Res.
I use 27% peroxide the reservoir doesn’t have growth.
