Hi ILGM fam I am around day 45 of flowering on a Critical Punch auto. I’m growing indoors, hydro (RDWC) with hydraton as a medium. Only nutes I’m using are Advance Nutrients base trio, plus “Big Bud” and “Bud Candy” added as-per recommended schedule. This is my first hydro grow and overall it’s go…

Thank you @MidwestGuy for the quick and helpful response!! RE: “Big Bud” and “Bud Candy” – I have followed the recommended schedule from AN which does “stack” these two together from weeks 2-5 in Flower, then “Big Bud” gets replaced with “Overdrive” for Weeks 6 and 7 (assuming 8 week flowering sche…

[image] john818: followed the recommended schedule from AN which does “stack” these two together Of course they do encourage growers to use them. They want to sell more stuff. My opinion: bloom boosters are unnecessary and I’d go as far as to call them “snake oil.” All bloom boosters are is …

Good morning @john818 I totally agree with @MidwestGuy although not AN, I just switched nutes from Fox Farms to Jack’s to save money and trying to simplify my grows… Using their schedule was wasteful… Using the boosters… Just provided headaches.

[image] john818: exceptionally polarizing I have no problem with AN and I’ve not heard others state that they do. AN makes some great products. Most nute makers sell bloom boosters and I have an equal problem with every one of them for doing it. It may be necessary for them to do so just to h…

I also want to say that I have no problem will the nor experience with An nutes… I am very curious about them. I decided to go with Jack’s this time for $$ savings… In the future when I have the last extra $ I plan on trying AN and their pH perfect nutes. Especially if it’s more simple.

Thanks @MidwestGuy and @Growmoredank you guys are great!! RE: AN stuff, I didn’t mean to direct that comment at you two at all, more just a general observation from what I’ve read throughout the internet. I’m talking about comments that go so far as to accuse AN of being “scam artists” that sell “w…

@john818 no problem… I just wanted clarify my position. Thank you for that info… I am also on well water with about the same readings as you said… I’m looking forward to trying it. Are you Journaling your grow here? … I’d like to follow.
