Been using AN micro, grow, bloom trio for awhile with mostly great results. I use the 1 liter set and they're competitively priced imo. Some of the additives can be pricey. I dont use the full lineup. Only
voodoo juice, B-52,
big bud, and
bud candy. I get the 250 ml
voodoo juice size as it's pricey and i understant has shorter shelf life. And its only used the first couple weeks of veg and first couple weeks of bloom. The other additives i get the 500ml jugs as they aren't used at the same rate as the base nutes. I add another brand of silica (I already had it and is compatible per AN) periodically during watering. I water twice, sometimes 3 times between feeds. I use lightly amended soil (
happy frog) with about 1/3-1/4 additional perlite. Start introducing feed after 3 weeks from sprout. I agree with others here 1/2 strength is generally the way to go. However, different strains have different appetites. I've concluded for me it's better to reduce chart recipes and watch for deficiency rather than deal with toxicity issues. With photoperiods transplant up in pot sizes as roots develop. For reference, this one is in is in a 12 gal pot. It was taking 1 gal per day for several weeks but now 1 gal every other day roughly a week before harvest. Guessing yield will be a lb max or most likely less. Maybe as little as 1/2. Sorry for the double post.
