AN are a tricky line. I'm constantly working on finding a good balance. Right now, I'm only using base nutrients with no boosters, to give me a better idea of what's necessary and what's fluff. It's not always perfect but AN has been the cleanest/easiest experience for me. You'll see some yellowing on these plants in a few weeks probably. Thanks for checking these girls out!
You're welcome friend and thank you, I'm really interested because I mostly see mixed results with that fertilizer. Keep us posted.AN are a tricky line.

Shit can it and use something normal like Oscmocote Indoor-Outdoor Plus, 5-6 month, from start to finish. Trust me, you won't have any of the headaches you encounter with the shyster cannabis specific nutes and the water only drill is so fine. Been using the stuff for decades.

I used AN with my 3rd grow a few years back and it burned my plants all to hell. Definitely use half of recommended dose and observe from there. Its potent stuff. Im going to buy one of these tropical mix packs one day. It must be kind of fun not knowing what youll end up with but at the same time knowing what youll get will be great smoke. Gotta love Ace

I'll give it a try in the next round of clones. Whenever I try a new line I like to do a side-by-side test to see the differences. I'll do a post diary on the results in the upcoming months. Thanks for the tip!

I thought it would have been annoying not knowing, but it's been pretty fun/interesting trying to narrow down the plant by look and odor. Easily the best representation of sativa genetics I've grown!I used AN with my 3rd grow a few years back and it burned my plants all to hell.

Your plants look great, good on ya!
You really have to learn to read your plants. The fan leaves should be a medium green from start to finish. Don't worry about the smell, the terpenes. If you can grow a good tomato, you can grow pot.
I've had folks, (usually a newcomer to the biz) criticize dark green leaves. Of course they do. You look at their sparse plants with the yellowing twisted leaves and you can see why.
