Carnatstarted grow question 4 days ago
Hi guys. I'm running plagron as nutrients and I'm not sure if they gonna last for me to finish the grow. I'm in week 7 flower, I was wondering if I can use different brand nutrients like athena pro line and match the ec I'm feeding now will I have any issues ? Thanks

The ingredients will be similar. It won't matter what label is slapped on them.
overall EC is good to match but also compare the weighted average (by dose) % of mass for N/P/K/Ca/Mg and S. the ratios of the mix are equally important as the overall concentration (EC). or ccalculate elemental ppm from gaurranteed analysis labels... both lead to the same ends.
some ingredients might be different and may need small tweaks...or maybe nothing needs to be adjusted. just watch the plant and take notes.

Your plant won't care what brand of fertilizer you are using!

I will warn you that the Athena line is rather sensitive in regards to its micros. If you aren't using RO then I wouldn't use Athena.

No issue with changing brands mid flower.You can't beat Advanced Nutrients.Almost all nutrients brands are built on the horticulture industry like tomatos and peppers.Advanced nutrients have had a number of in house scientists developing their line over many years.The majority of the big growers in the US use them.You only have to check their site to see how "advanced" they are.They do it all,organic,mineral and coco and its ph perfect so no messing around with ph.Iv been gowing hydriponically for over 30yrs and have used adavanced for over 10 so know what I'm talking about.They arent cheap but you get what you pay for for the most part.
