Wholly Mackerel is actually a Fox Farm product, but Advanced Nutrients does have some good names, every product has a "mascot" with their own name. I'm doing things completely different with my grow vs the grow op. At the grow op we were using Mother's Earth Coco when I got there and Cyco (the green bags). Some rooms had one and other rooms had the other. We used the 3 gal grow bags from Rio Coco for the tables that got installed in three of the six Flower rooms. Of all the coco coir products I've seen and/or worked with, Rio Coco is the best quality.
They were using House and Garden when I first got there with some success and decided to give Athena a try, like just about every other commercial operation. It's crazy to me how far Athena has come in such a short period of time, but that's what the power of social media can do when somebody like the Jungle Boys switches their feeding schedule to Athena. Advanced Nutrients was even forced to make a very similar product because so much of their market share has been taken away by Athena. Coco and salt based nutrients vs organic soil and organic nutrients. My plants smell way better than anything we ever produced at the grow op. I'm a firm believer in organic fertilizers in living soil is the best medium to produce the best terpene profile. And I've never done a cost analysis for Athena vs Advanced Nutrients, but AN is not as expensive as you would think. Just about all of their products are 2 mL/L rates, very potent products, decent cost per application. Fox Farm's products are more expensive per application.
Thats still a touch higher than atmospheric levels… basements usually around 600-1000ppm ut that depends on a lotI got the room at 80° with the lights on, drops to about 70° at night. The RH is staying consistently between 55-60%. I checked the leaf temperatures thanks to a very helpful thread from @Aperkins1972 , that was certainly an undervalued environmental factor. @Aqua Man deserves credit for that helpful information too, thank you both. The leaf temps were definitely too hot for a bit when I had the lights closer to maximize the PPFD. I've since backed the lights off and opened a couple of vents in the tent to lower the temperature. We're now between 800-1250 PPFD and the leaf temps are between 73-79°. The plants are loving life! And so much for the high CO2 concentration theory in the big open basement @sportyridr I bought an inkbird plus CO2 monitor + hygrometer and it's reading around 475 ppm outside the tent and closer to 400 ppm inside the tent. The Colombian Miracle strain is just a heavy producer.

The M.A.C. plants should be ready to harvest after 9 weeks of Flower and I'm actually thinking the opposite, the earlier the better. I'm looking for the best 9-10 weeker for the Colombian Miracle phenohunt.Looking great, I did notice the Mac's were a bit behind the update before last but just attributed that to the MAC genetics...still coming nicely man. The one & only cross I grew with Mac in it went 12 weeks, turned almost black...
They give a pretty wide finish time for the Columbian of 9 - 12 weeks from the link. I gather the longer the better with that strain....
