H&G and AN bases and bloom enhancers

Hi everyone I have been doing a lot of reading on AN and H&G and I am sort of at a loss as to what nutes to use so I am wonderinf what people think of these ideas.
I am going to be running ebb and flow SOG (1 week veg or so)
with pure canna coco, RO water with either....

H&G coco A&B with bud xl, top booster, shooting powder then flushing with drip clean

AN sensi A&B (and their sensi calmg which ill prolly need) with bud blood, big bud then overdrive and and flushing with H&G drip clean(ive heard great things about this stuff)

H&G coco A&B with AN bud blood, big bud and overdrive and flushing with drip clean (my favorite idea)

Money isnt really an issue here so no need to tell me how over priced AN is I already know. A couple random questions I was wondering about if people knew also: I heard AN bud ignitor was bud blood but liquid...true or false? The H&G website says to use drip clean throughout the cycle not just flush, does this really help?

ALl advice is welcome looking for some good opinions to lead me on my way thanks :)
 
Yo Ducks.

I can say a few things about H&G.

If you use H&G, you use Drip Clean with every feeding. Not as a flush product.

IMO, if you wanna use H&G....use the whole line. Then use AN as a complete line and see what you think is better. It really is the only way to know.

H&G might be the shit in my grow room, but you may not like it. Comes down to diff environments, strains...etc.

Good luck on yer nute adventure. Either way you slice it, no matter what nutrient line you go with, done correctly, you can't go wrong.

I use the full H&G line in one room and the AN Sensi AB in the other with bud blood, big bud, overdrive and hammer head. I grow same clones in each room and you'd never know they're even the same strain, much less clones of each other.

IMHO the H&G builds better bud structure, bigger calyxes, more trichomes and heavier dry buds. The AN makes alot of hairs.

Also, for ebb&flow you'll be using the Aquaflakes. And to save money I only use the Roots Excelurator for vegging.

Good Luck!

Ditto on the Drip Clean. Use final phase or another flushing agent for flush. Use DC with every feeding. Only takes a little bit. Never had a salt build up, not have I ever done the big flush. 2-3 weeks from harvest, I use Final Phase plus Hydgrozyme, with a 10-20% run off then just water until harvest.
Pretty easy........

i dont even begin to understand why is AN even compared to H&G, for me is like comparing Green house and mr nice seeds, one is mostly hype, and allot of overpriced products, most of them you can get in difrent companys and way less expensive, and on the other hand you got H&G runned by William Van de Zwaan the developer of brands like canna, the facilities of the company look very professional and they seem to know really well what their doing, check their video of the manufacturing on the H&G facilities and you be sold, plus their cheaper, and if you say that the root exelurator is expensive take a good look at the nute regime and see that you only use a little bit compared to other companies products, check some of Pico´s threads and you see some major H&G buds!

hygrozyme is my secret ingredient to cloning. clonex and hygrozyme = GREAT clones.
