Whats with the floating crap in my nutes...

Whats with the floating crap in my nutes...

Hi!

I got a new AN Cal-Mag bottle and it has crap floating in it and the liquid is different color than the old one.

The AN Revive I have also had crap floating in it from the start.

All nutes were new, sealed.

Anyone seen / experienced this before?

New Cal - Mag:


Old Cal - Mag (no crap floating in it):


My old AN Cal-Mag with new AN Cal-Mag i just got.
Color is very different, and the new one has a LOT of crap floating in it. New one is the darker color one...


AN Revive:


Anyone know whats up with that? Doesnt look good to me..

just a guess but take a little of the old and freeze it (if possible) and see if now looks similar to what you just got.

always when products have small amounts of organic material floating in them that means some of the nutrient components are seperating ...i use full line AN and i recently bought a 4l of micro and when i poured some out i had some weird reddish sludge slime out ..... i shook the crap outta the bottle and poured some more and the "blobs" seemed to dissapear.......
AN states on all of their bottles to shake well before use....when i have a crap load outes sitting around every other day ill go and shake all my bottles , just to make sure they dont sit soo long ... AN products are good but you need to use them up right away, i find their products dont seem to have the longest shelf life......

as for the color maybe its their ÈnewÈ recipe....lol maybe just more food coloring....

use it just make sure you shake the crap outta your bottles....

I see.

Yes I always shake well before use.

I tried shaking it violently for more than 5 minutes, and it doesnt dissolve... For both the Cal-Mag and the Revive...

Thats not good.

I just got it and I dont use a lot of it so using it all up will take some time.

After the freezer test I will go talk to the people at the store where I got the nutes...

Its a store over on Vancouver Island.
They do lots of online sales, and thats where they are selling all these kits. This do offer a good discount to get the whole set.
But still crazy.

That makes sense as online sales are different then local sales. Well if they sell lost of then all the power to them.

I agree a $100 pH pen and a bottle of pH down will last forever.

This is why it boggles the mind why AN would try to make people even more lazy. If this was such a break through you'd see the whole green house industry turn to it.

I wonder how they explain the PPM perfect part missing from the PH perfect label after all the hype over the last few years.

I was going to give their new low frequency ballasts a go and gave them the benefit of doubt but their bad ass low frequency ballasts = fail!

Freeze test...

Freeze test...

I froze my old AN Cal-Mag solid..

Then after it melted back into a liquid it looks unchanged:

It did NOT become darker and did NOT get the crap floating in it.

Are AN's nutes inconsistent? Do different batches of the same nute have different color / properties?

GHM and GHB dont change color, always consistent from batch to batch, other brand nutes I use for various plants also seem very consistent...

AN did a bad job?

i use the conni line along with extrras from AN for 2 years and love them. no need for budcandy in veg or even 1rst 2wks of flower. the b vitamins do not mix well with b52 its better to use one of those products at a time they have very similar ingrediants and dont mix well. for my veg form i use grow ab b52 voodoojuice rhinoskin and h&G rootexcellurator.

Dog shit comes in all sorts of colors.
Advanced is dog shit.
arsenic filled,inconsistant, contaminated ingredients, banned in oregon.

Fat fuck mike just released a video boasting that roots excell was superior to advanced rooting product.
then the rumor comes out that advanced purchased the rights to the north american sales of house and garden.

When will the lies and tricks end. How much do people need to see before they stop supporting this garbage. Look back a few pages at the info on analysis of the bottles and the amounts of heavy metals in these nutes.

Nothing against the other products but why would you waste money on Rhinoskin when all the other silicate products are 1/3 the price.

i use there whole line i know its just potassium silicate but i got so many of there products i just stuck with the line. only non AN product i got on my shef is the H&G roots excell and shooting powder. im not that worried bout cost my nute prices are factored in at the beginnin of the grow and i get a sweet deal through my guy so im not spendin near the retail i think i save bout 500bucks on the order i make compared to instore prices.

I was told by our outside AN rep that the "official" box sets/bundles were JUST recently released in BC!!! all this time advertising them and they JUST came out in canada....its gonna take us a while to see them on our shelves.

I wish we could get our hands on some melon head reflectors! got alot of guys at my shop askin for em, I wanna try em too when I set up my 4x8 hydrohut. I guess the east coast is F'd on the melon heads until late feb, march...probly more like april LOL.

also got a batch of bud candy with weird stuff floating around. I guess its just added proteins to keep it more stable or something like that. the mold is just feeding on the sugars. I dont see how it could be too harmful. I cant speak on the cal mag product tho.

Just order them. They'll being them in from the US. Been told usually 7 days. Otherwise check out the Light Energy ones. Same as Melon Head but with a 6" tube/hole.
