I got a friend who has the exact phenotypes that I have. The difference is that he uses Advanced and I use GenHydroFlora. My flavor and potency are obviously much better but he says it's because he couldn't flush but I didn't flush some plants either and have mad flavor. He thinks that the salts in Advanced are so much different than General Hydroponics and that's why he had no flavor even though I didn't flush certain plants with GenHydro and I got mad flavor. He says he has no flavor because he didn't flush but he only used 300-400 TDS while I use up to 1000 TDS on the exact same pheno's. My basic question is:
Is 1000 PPM of GenHydroFlora similar to 1000 PPM of Advanced? I believe that it's pretty similar and I can't see anyone who can run 1000 TDS of General hydro and then can't run 1000 TDS of Advanced.
He also says that he can't go over 400 TDS without the plants showing problems but in my eyes it's not the TDS or nutes that's the problem, it's the roots that are the problem in 4" rockwool cubes and the flood cycles are incorrect which is helping to create the problem. How different are the salts in Advanced compared to General Hydroponic Flora Series? I think they are the same but just at different amounts of each element but in the end salts are salts when it comes to PPM/EC. Is it normal that with GH I can go to 2 EC but if I was to use Advanced I would have to cut that more in half and be less than 1 EC with the same strains and phenos? Kind of hard for me to believe.
