I buy my AN on amazon for cheap. And I can get smaller bottles my local shops don't offer.
I haven't read this entire thread yet... But here's my two cents...
In my combined years of on and off growing, I've used many different nutes.
Fox Farm. Botonicare.
General hydroponics. And more supplements than I can name. All with acceptable yields.
My most recent grow has been the all out max. Started with a greenhouse but that collapsed. We moved inside to a basement, that was wired to be a fishroom... Anyways. A 10'x7'x4' tent went into place and 2 1000w lights, cooltubes, fans and carbon filters.
Why skimp now?
Got beans of iced grapefruit, and vegged under 2000w of Mh
Always wanted those
advanced nutrients. So i hit up the interwebs and ordered up 250ml bottles of a few select items. Connisuar bloom A+B.
Big bud.
Bud ignitor. Bud factor X.
Thoroughly impressed with the turn out. That's actually an under statement. Almost doubled what was anticipated and got about 1.5 grams per watt.
Then I ordered rhino skin.
Bud candy. Voo doo juice. Final flush. Liquid carboload. And if I remember correctly, a large bottle of
big bud. And sensi grow a + b. Sensi
calmag. B-52.
Holy crap. Holy effin shit! The weight packed onto these branches is astronomical. The smell is potentet enough I can smell it through the new carbon filter. Crystals are oozing out of the crevasses. This is what you've always dreamed of growing. The taste was absolutely top notch. I can't say enough about how superior AN is to every other nutrient on the market.
I still have a few supplements I use that AN doesn't make. But at this point I think its easier to name the ones I don't have (yet) than the ones I do.
Shop smart. Reap the rewards of the most phenomenal botanicals you will ever poses with your own two hands.
