Does Advanced Nutrients' supplements work? - Nutrients and Fertilizers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Chrellyboy · 10-19-2009, 09:25 PM

Hi there,

I was wondering wether the supplements from AN are generally sales-gimmicks or actual beneficial products?

Please share your knowledge with me. Links to actual side-by-side tests would be awesome if such exist.

Thank you very much in advance.

I've tried voodoo juice and it works great as a root tonic, the roots just explode with new growth. works great for soil and hydro. That's the only AN product I've tried.

Their ph down is very strong.

Sounds awesome. I'll have to try it, even though it is a little expensive. But since it is bacteria I should be able to reproduce it, so a bottle would last infinitely

Ok, thanks

. However I can definitely recommend just using a regular acid for lowering pH instead of a pH-down product which is basically just acid in fancy bottles

ive used several, and have had mixed results, some are hit or miss.

ive tried
Carboload
Big Bud
Pirahna

carboload, is what the name entails, a load of shit.....i would attribute lack of crystals to this product. stay away from it unless your growing tomatoes??? ha

big bud, well....seems to add that extra kick of K that its known for. it also has aminos, mag, S, and citric.

pirahna, my favorite product that AN makes, works verrrrry verrrry well. a 1/4 tsp sprinkled just under an x-plant clone is the best method of application for this product. they honestly start rooting within, the hour???? the root growth, and new foliage growth is tremendous when using this product.

hope this helps somewhat

peace!

If you have a cheap source for phosphoric acid in as high of a concentration as the Advanced Nutrients ph down, let me know.

Well I dont know the prices from this guy, but I saw this post on another forum posted very recently (august 09):

But yeah if your question was more like a rhetoric question, you are probably right that it is hard to get unless buying in bulk.

I don't know what concentration AN pH up is but this stuff Klean-Strip® Phosphoric Prep & Etch is 40% phosphoric acid and no other ingredients (water if ya wants to get all technical like) listed on the MSDS. It is like 12 bucks for a gallon at HD or Lowes.

Their supplements work. That said, they are way overpriced and there are way too many of them. The only one I might pick up is Big Bud for the price.
