im gonna start my large room on monday or tuesday, i still havent got my ferts yet as i was waiting to move in to the new house and do all this at the same time, so im sitting here a few days before i go and get my nutes and im still undecided of which brandto go with and weather or not to go for organic or chem, im leaning towards organics because im all about the flavor. but i like the fast acting chemical results, so heres my dilema, i like the regular liquid ferts that i just mix in water ect...but i kinda wanna go organic, i was looking at the advanced nutrients organics line, but am unsure how organic they are and how good they really work. i was just wondering your opinions about this? any experience or opinions would be great
well, on advice i decided to email Advanced Nutrients and ask them what i should do and which products i should use , they were reluctant to aswer my questions over the internet and asked that i phone them, i refused and told them i would rather do this thru the internet, they sent me this: For us to answer more completely and efficiently to your question, please call 1 800 640 9605 1:00 pm - 9:00 pm PST. If line busy or directed to voice mail keep trying. The question you posed requires a bit of a lengthy answer. i was pretty upset about their lack of customer service, and gave up, and then they finally emailed me back 4 hrs later and said this: For Yield and Flavour, use our non-organic formulas such as the Sensi 2 Part A+B for Veg and Connoisseur 2 Part for flower. When using soil amendments, allow the plant to use up the available nutrients in the soil before starting with a heavy feeding schedule as the amendments may cause the PPM to push too high. I’ve included a brief introduction of our products: For maximum yield we suggest using the products listed in the plus program feeding schedules found in the nutrient calculator. http://www.advancednutrients.com/nutcalc3public/nutrient_calculator.html If you are looking for a simpler formula that does not include so many products, but will still improve final yield substantially, I am including a short version of the plus program below.
