It was an ok product. Did not like the 3 part nutrient at all. Will be switching brands after all is used up, after the next grow. Will be switching to Remo Nutrients. A lot cheaper and my outdoor plants seem to love it! :)
Found the Plant gaurd to be very useless. .05% silica was not very helpful. It did nothing to the plant leaving it flimsy and brittle. Root builder did an awesome job keeping roots healthy and big.
The grow went very well. Healthy big plant. There was no signs of deficiencies or pests. Very resilient to all conditions. Only problem was the yield, for such a big plant it didn't yield what it definitely should have. It had problems holding any type of weight, even the fan leaves weighed it down to the point of breaking. Even any super cropped spots never recovered. Will be adding a silica to the next grow. I took clones of her so I'll see what happens with the next grow.
@Smokeys_Garden, Oh for sure.. Silica is the number 1 thing that most nutrients do not have for Hydro growers.. Notice how I don't really feed Silica? I think I add it about 3 or 4 times.. Be careful with what you add something I would never tell you around the store is almost always never use what any nutrient company recommends on the bottle. 1/2 what they recommend and for things like Silica supplements you have to use very sparingly.. The added structure may be give way anyway under high mass conditions so if you support from the get go. The need for silica is marginal. The end goal is healthy clean smoke.... Chemicals doesn't mean harsh or bad, considerations need to be made is all.
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, I'm trying to get away from AN. I over bought so I am trying to get rid of what I have left. I've tried Remo on my outdoor grow, they seem to be loving it. I've started to incorporate that brand into my indoor grow. The structural stability was due to lack of sufficient amounts of silica. This round they seem a lot more stable.
@Smokeys_Garden, I'd love to see you using less Advanced Nutrients that's for sure.. Structural Stability.... Is a problem even for experienced growers :). Mitigation through plant support seems to be the best course of action.
@Garreweedlover, thanks. Explosive growth in hydro. Plant doubled if not tripled in height. Ya they look like dense buds already. Thanks for checking out my diary.
