Hey guys i was steering towards a different nutrient bramd and i think ive found the one i would like to try and was wondering which advanced nutrients product you guys prefer. I was lookong at either ph perfect sensi bloom and grow or ph perfect micro,grow and bloom. Its between those 2 with bud candy, big bud and b-52. If anyone has tried advanced nutrients let me know!

I haven’t used them but plenty on here do and seem to like them main reason you dont have to worry about ph:grin:

6.4 is really high it should be at 5.8 min to 6.2 max. Its the ph probably cause root uptake issues try increasing the nutrient strength(stronger ratio on nutrient package)and drybacks (the drying of soil after feeding).& finally increase watering schedule more times per day i do 4 feeds a day to keep my ph right at 6 to 6.1 and make sure you are getting atleast 20oz of runnoff per feedings.

Cropsalt at Cropsalt.com i get their starter pack with Runclean its $ 75 or 80 or they have a concentrate set that you mix with a gallon of distilled water or. R.O that gives you a gallon of liquid concentrate you will NEED CONTAINERS TO STORE THEM IN. & you will still have to mix your nutes but the liquid form is easier in long run the powder is a pain is ass to weigh & measure out but gets easier as you go.i got hreat results so far this is one plant approximately a week from chopping/ harvesting for drying.
I have other pictures posted throughout this thread ive never had to watch my ppm.or worry about nutrient deficiency cropsalts is complete package with nothing to add .

4 times a day? Im in soil not coco i feed water water whatever my ppm is at and @Growdoc and @OGIncognito said ideally i want to shoot for 6.4 to 6.8 in flower so it takes up certain nutes youre plants look great though! Im planning to try advanced nutrients in soil and general hydroponics in dwc in another tent here soon.

Do you use powdered or liquid nutes from cropsalts? Sounds and looks easy going from the website you sent me

I use powder mix on my own. they only sale powder however they sale a concentrate set that you mix with 1 gallon of water to make liquid concentrate you will need to get a good set of 5, 1 gallon black or darker colored storage containers tomake those 1 each for veg A & B Bloom A & B and Cake the concentrate would make it easier when time to mix your nutrient because all you will need is a large syringe to measure out the correct mix with the starter set us powder and you will need a scale & i use small cough syrup cups to weight out the powders in correct portion for your mixture. This is definitely more time consuming than the concentrate set because you will only need to mix them.once and measure out with a syringe im not sure how difficult the concentrate mix you make is to do but the powder version depending on the strength can occasionally take a little time i also use silica blast also cropsalts also has a VDP calculator that is very useful with helping dial in a good temp / humidity / VPD along with grow documents to help with dialing in your feed schedule in strength and ay other grow issues not all info but enough especially with all the help & grow documents/ directions they have on here. This is my absolute 1st grow and i found cropsalts on Novacottons podcasts/ videos he uses them and seemed.to make the process easier to navigate as a first timer yes ive had issues but thats why im glad i found this site these guys know alot and always willing to help. I’ll send you a picture of my most recent time when my lights turn back on Im approximately 1 to 2 weeks from chopping them. I love the results thies nutrients have and I will probably move to a concentrate set after i finish the starter set although i will need to get another Veg A & Bloom A to use up the entire sets but im Okey with it just want to eliminate the measuring with a scale too many factors with wind etc effect the scales so u have to shut every fan, humidifier, Dehumidifier etc off or your weight is off. Sorry i rambled on there.
Forgot to mention Get the Runclean if you run any irrigation or autopot system only other thing you will need is a ph up because Runclean keeps the systems clean of buildup. However it also acts as a PH down and i use R.O however they state they use tap on cropsalts website and it drops my ph down to 3 or 4 depending on strength i use for buildup. You will need a small medicine syringe for children or animals to measure that out and a larger feed syringe for the liquid (concentrate) version if you go that route. Again sorry for long story!

Yeah your right with soil just pay attention to the Ph it will tell you what the roots are doing & how well they are absorbing the nutrients. I feel the PH is more important the ppm is secondary i could be wrong yet thats worked very successfully so far for me! I watch my ppm once or twice at most a day and my Ph everytime i feed which is anywhere between 3 to 6 times a day 4 being the usual. I only increase or decrease to help fix my ph which is rarely most the time i only increase the feed length & nutrient strength

Awesome i read up more about cropsalt and its a great product that doesnt burn the heck out of your plant when going by their instructions! Im going to have to give them a try ive only done liquid based nutrients and now using advanced nutrients ph perfect but it seems alot of people are steering towards certain powder nutes cropsalts jacks etc. So itll be interesting to see how well they do. I agree 100 percent with you that ph is everything certain ph levels js what takes up different nutrients and either eats fast or slow. I had serious ph issues in the beginning due to my soil kept bringing it back down no matter how hard i tried to chamge it ended up putting some lime in there and that helped. I have alot of photoperiods growing now so thatll help me with whatever issue i come across instead of me being my first time having autoflowers which ended up being beautiful yielding a lil over 2 ounces each
I have some different company seeds going as well i heard seedsman autoflowers arent the best but they turmed out good when i was done excited to see whats in store from humboldt, atlas seeds, and ilgm
Sign up for their newsletter and u get I think 15% off for first time purchase may only be 10%. Wait until you are ready to order because that promo code has an expiration date I think its only good for 10 days. You can also try and use NOVACOTTON if you oder again for 10% off if its still a good promo code. It was the last time I checked.

Yeah coco coir is like hydroponic system.it needs fed alot i usually run about ⅓ to ⅖ gallon of nutrient mix everytime it feeds gets me about 20 to 32 oz runoff and keeps.my ph atound 5.9.to 6.1 this is one reason im switching to.DWC FOR NEXT GROW less nute mixing and no runnoff you only need to keep ph good ive started 2 clones in them and they are starting to take off very well.

And heres pics of my blueberry pancake humbodlt photoperiod and some of the leaves i mutulated from spraying and putting in light too early but made a good recovery
And heres a sneak peek of final product cure of my mystery seed from seedsman auto she turned out pretty and friends like the smoke of it! Could cure for much longer only been a month smells dank though and figured itd be safe for friends to try out she came out to be 68.8 grams of dry cured buds which is decent for my forst go round maybe could do a better trim job but its ok all of my first timers ended up being a lil over 2 ounces all autos im excited to see what photoperiods can do for me
