Moby dick auto, Plagron light/grow mix, 11l Wanting to switch up nutrients and would like to try Advanced Nutrients or Canna in one of the tents. I believe more is less and that a great deal the stuff is marketing and not necessarily needed. Which nutrients/setup?

You can't go down a wrong road here. Canna and AN are both exceptional nutrients and top notch choices... in the end its you and the genetics that play a big role! Both Canna and AN have great starter packs and AN even introduced their organic line some weeks ago - so plenty of options here! I use them both here and love both companies, Canna has Peter Klaassen working for them who is a superstar in the nutrients scene for decades - he does great seminars and teaches people about that. Let us know what you ended up with! Both ways you will find happiness :)

I run a straight set of Botanicare, plus mammoth P. Never had a single issue, there are a lot of folks that spent a lot of time to sort out the whats what of our nutritional needs. Until you max out your skill set not a lot of reasons to reinvent the nutrition wheel, work on the you part of the equation. Learning is fun.

Canna is good they have a range for all grow types... i have been using there terra range for hydro just to top up my soil when the soils depleted nearly...works fine. There coco range is really good too. There boost is expensive it's got triacontanol in there and you can tell the difference but there is other methods for that without the expense.. Good luck.. Much love 💚...

if you want to cut out the middleman, get the basics (Jacks/Yara/Kosher) then supplement with additives as you desire, otherwise you're buying logistics for water rather than your desired product. Not all brands are the same though. Like random grow site's solid salts? Yeah, that is literally just jacks/yara repacked and taxxed... Some bottles are wholly unneeded. Like they kept selling mammoth P even after the NIH studies proved it had nothing to do with the microbes, only the hormone. It is a tough spot. Some of the premier labels are nothing but whitelabeled garbage. Some are liquid gold sourced from the far reaches of our globe. Just do what the plant likes and no matter what - ignore the vendor's recomendations. lol

I would recommend trying the nutrient regimen I'm using. I use Advanced Nutrients' pH Perfect, Big Bud, Bud Candy, and CarboLoad. It's simple but effective, and I think you might find it works well without needing too many extra products. Also, in the last two weeks, I add Overdrive for an extra boost, but you should stop using Big Bud once you start Overdrive.

if you look at the ingredients, similar types of nutes will pull from the same limited pool of options... e.g. soilless/hydro will be similar... the soil fertilizer/organic stuff will pull from a slightly different pool of ingredients, but for the most part, this stuff is not hugely different. With AN the break up their products into too many bottles. You need a bunch of bottles when 2-3 parts to a fertilizer program is plenty. Breaking it into multiple unnecessary parts is just a way to separate you from your money in the most effective way possible. It's greedy, in other words. The prices some of these brands charge is price-gouging too. These ingredients, more times than not, are commodities. Meaning they are readily available at the same quality and cheap. e.g. caclium nitrate is calcium nutrate no matter what brand you buy. Some sell it for 70 USD for 25lbs, some sell a 50lb bag for 30-35 USD - or 1/4th the price and the only difference is the name on the packaging... and in this case, whether you can use 50lbs in 10-20 years, lol. good thing about dry nutes is the have a very, very long shelf life. I'd go with the brand with the better price and fewer products to buy to provide a proper fertiization program. Fertilizer should be an extremely cheap part of any indoor grow. I spend more on humidifier wicks than i do on fertilzer per year -- 16-20 plants with 5-6 weeks of vege and then 8-10 weeks of flower.. for point of reference. 30-40dollars/year at the most on fertilizer. 4-5 cents per gallon mixed is a fair price. These marijuana brands are 12-15/gallon at the cheap end. That's a whole shit ton of profit margin for a brand name and a pretty cartoon logo that attract children like a sugary cereal box, lol.

The one that works for me usually is Terra Aquatica TriPart Micro and Bloom, plus some homemade fermented plant juice. I also play around with different brands now and then, this time I’m using GreenBuzzBloom, but honestly, I don’t have a strong preference.
