Bonjoyle's never-ending grow journal

Did not think I was and very cognizent of overwatering is a bad thing but somehow I definitely overwatered her. I have a few week old DurbanxCindy99 going again. I will take pics tonight. Time for a transplant anyway so this will all go away if I pay better attention.

Will document before and after for posterity.
Here she is before I goofed.

Well not proud of her but here is the BB Cupcake. I will be chopping this in a few days. Hard to tell and I did not keep track so gonna have to go back to my posts to see how long since she showed budlets. She is only at about 7 weeks. I will see what I can see with the loop and thinking about chopping this weekend.


and here is the DTC99 I somehow overwatered. She is doing much better now and you can see the progression as you go up the leaves and see how it was getting better each node.

Most if not all of the damaged leaves have been trimmed as she has grown a bit. Looking much better albeit droopy atm due to lights off in an hour.

Have no idea if this is a thing but due to my situation, I did not have a tent to hang my harvest so I lightly layered it in the bottom of a tote and set it outside in 45ºF weather for a few hours. Been setting it out to get cold, then putting the tote in my dark closet. I have had no airflow and it is still drying nice and slow. Starting to smell very good. I think I may actually get to a 14 day dry using this unintended method.

Neverending zoom, pretty cool

I lean on people that have real world experience with products I am unfamiliar with. I realized my nutrients are out of date. I have been trying to decide on a new line and keep coming back to AN products. I am simple and do not want to buy anything I do not need. Could you give me a short list knowing I grow in soil?

It seems like they have the same products with different names like the Sensei and Conniseur looks like the same thing.

I am looking at Grow/Micro/Bloom for base nutes
I already have Rhino Skin
Options: Overdrive, B-52 and Bud Candy

I appreciate your time!!

To answer your first question…

You’re correct, Advanced nutrient has the standard base micro grow bloom, sensei, and connoisseur line of Base nutrients. The only difference is slight variations in NPK throughout the three.

Connoisseur is a very good one however, I stick with the three-part micro, grow, bloom as it gives me a little more opportunity to add more or less of NPK in different stages when needed.

With that said you can’t go wrong with any of the three base nutrient lines.

What else do I recommend
I’ve used a lot almost all of their products. I’ve narrowed down what I consider a decent starter line that consists of in my opinion must have by advanced nutrients.

1.) B-52 you’re already familiar with this product but it is a must have.
2.) Big Buds this stuff truly sets your flowering stage on fire. It gives you that little boost of phosphorus and potassium that you need when them buds are ripening.
3.) voodoo juice - hands down one of the best microbial life additive you can use. I would never go without it.
4.) Bud Candy as you know molasses offers a nice snack for the microbial life. Bud Candy is a seven course meal! One of the best feeds for microbial/fungi on the market

You say you have rhino skin at the end of the day it’s silica. I found that the cheaper brand Bloom city silica is just as good if not better. The only difference I see is rhino skin cost more.

As far as overdrive I never saw a difference in using it versus not using it.

Sensizym I love looking after the root zone and soil. Sensizym is an enzyme that at the end of flowering I use as it converts all the root zones organic waste and turns it into valuable uptake-able nutrients. It’s not really needed (per se) but when you take the plants nutrients away during the last two weeks it gives them a little something to munch on by cleaning up the useless organic matter and turning it into food

Once you figure out what line of Base you choose the four additives that I’ve listed above are truly all you need for a wonderful grow.

In closing, I’ve found that people who have used advanced nutrients for a long period of time usually will end up with The connoisseur line

I’m a very hard sell when it comes to additives. I believe less is more.

I hope this helps my friend.

Thank you so much. I have made a decision. I also appreciate the Voodoo input as I did not realize that was the microbe product and I am out of Mykos and Azos so I will add this to my purchase.

Here is my complete purchase;
Grow/Micro/Bloom
B52
Bud Candy
Voodoo
Big Buds instead of Overdrive (Both appear to be bud enhancers)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Sounds like a plan to me. I wish you all the best let me know if you have any questions regarding any of them. Enjoy your holidays brother man

For the record, there’s a 800 number on the bottle you can call directly to their tech support people. They’re very knowledgeable and willing to assist you with any questions in any type of grow scenario. I used them many times back in the day until I was able to draw my own conclusions!

Well crapola, my grow store had every type of AN available EXCEPT Grow-Micro-Bloom. Oh well, tried to keep my money local, now gotta call Bezos.
