I used the sensi ph perfect with voodoo and b52 in veg and big bud and overdrive I got a gram per watt and with a good flush the bud burnt well I think there are better value for money product that produces them same end product. ... I am now using plant magic old times (organic) and can't see much if any difference in speed if veg growth but let's see how flowering goes

Exteme waste of money.... it works though. ...... ive tried everything n came to the conclusion if it is marketed towards pot growing avoid it its a scam 99% of the time... stick to what always worked...

Yes the ph perfect bit worked as it was keeping the ph @6.0 every time I mixed it up but then again canna coco a+b kept it at 5.8 and is cheaper to buy

ive actually only used their additives like big bud, overdrive, nirvana carbo load but never have used their base nutes unless you count mother earth organic teas from advanced as bas nutes (they are not) i
being in humboldt i have so many options that are made in cali like heavy 16 (socal, house and garden (thats my go 2 full line.. turns out perfect everytime: made in holland) canna (eu/holland), emerald harvest (santa rosa ca), cutting edge solutions (santa rosa ca). and botanicare (az)but these claims from advanced that will give you 30% more yeild. im in coco so id have to use sensi a and b coco. the base nutes really seem to be the best bang for the buck and im tempted to try out a run using only advanced and see how it hits my wallet and how good the end product is. i have so many nutes already im not going to go spend more money. right now i have lots of house and garden coco full line, canna coco aand b plus boost, g.o for soil, emerald harvest full line 2gallon size gift from my hydro store to test it. for them. botanicare (az) pbp grow and bloom liquid karma, calmag plus, vitamino and hydroplex gets it done with the best flavor out of all of those im blessed to be where i am. its funny using all those different nutrient lines i think house and garden and botanicare are the best

blah. sorry

another thing i wanted to touch on is that advanced sells hobbyist packs, professional and expert packs but the better grower you are the more items they suggest. i like to keep it simple. for this experiment can you give me what i really need? i already have nirvana, big bud liquid, big bud powder, bud candy, overdrive, carboload and a few others. i thin all i need now is the sensi a and b coco and bud ignighter.. (can i use shooting powder or topshooter (high pk) to jump start the flower cycle instead of bud ignighter. i also want my gear to taste as best they can because i do have some demanding patients i care take for. thats why ive tried every nute line. i got house and garden dialed in for my gear as well as the botanicare.

ok so the products im really interested in (and may have something like it by a diff company)are Budfactor x, b52, bud ignighter and big bud coco. i have regular big bud.. whats the difference between the two?

also, whats the difference between the connisouer lbase nutes and the sensi cocos beside the coco , being for coco , lol blah... anyone use conniseur and sensi coco's

does their rhino skin, silicate, affect the ph much like other silcon supplements.

Check out my Albums man. It will show you what can be done with Advanced Nutrients. I don't use their whole line, only the important and useful ones. I have tested Rhino Skin on multi strains with and without, there is no difference in over 10 different strains. Their Big bud, Overdrive, Voodoo Juice, B-52, Bug Ignite, Carbo Load, Bud Factor X all work great for me. Since I am running Co2 I make sure to use their Nirvana as well because it helps a lot with Co2 uptake.

On a 400 watt HPS I just pulled 3 grams per watt. Going for over 3 lbs in a 5' x 5' scrog this time. That will be over 4.5g per watt. Gotta have a heavy yielding strain of course.

i used veg+bloom dirty this year as my base and bid bud,b-52,bud factor x,overdrive and nirvana as my bloom boosters. it works very well and i just followed the bottle instructions. i only run 20 plants so i only bought the 250ml bottles so it was cheap and very effective. Bud factor x has chitosan in it which activates SAR on the plant and the plant responds by stacking trichomes like u havent ever seen. i think i will get bud ignitor next year and see how they all work. i did some plants with V+B and golden tree and it works awesome as well. for the KISS v+B & golden tree and it produces some great looking,smelling and smoking buds as well

Lots of advanced users out there.

Sensi Bloom A+B are the top sellers in the line. Some people are running Connoisseur, but not many. The new Coco line is proving to be an issue for a lot of growers, I don't think it's dialed from what I'm seeing but haven't had the opportunity to try it out and see just where the issue is.

I like the Big Bud Dry. That stuff works as advertised, isn't all that expensive, and fits well with the lower Potassium base systems like CANNA in bloom. The other bloom boosters they carry: Bud Blood, Bud Candy, Bud Factor X, Bud Ignitor, Overdrive. I've found them to be no better than alternatives like MOAB or Uncle John's Blend. The "Organics": Voodoo Juice, Piranha, and Tarantula, Nirvana, G'Ma Enngy's, Microbial Munch, Sensizym, and B-52. They aren't bad, but again, not really necessary.

I think that the best AN setup ($$$ in versus ### out) is:
Sensi Bloom A+B - Base (with Sensi Cal-Mag for RO water)
Big Bud Dry - PK Boost
Nirvana - Trace elements
RhinoSkin - Silica

I never considered running an cuz all the hate on here but my friend from growing up runs a sizable op with the full an line and raves about it. For yields anyway... hes still on TLO for his head stash though
Still never ran it but I'm more open to it now.

So out of the lines you used or use botanicare gives you the best flavor?

Just picked up the sensi grow was wondering if I should try ro or my well water . It is 250 ppm to 280 on 5 scale should i try the well uncut or cut it down to 100ppm. Im going to pick up some of the main products I need to get by. Hoping the cal in the well is enough my salt is about 20ppm wonder if there is enough mag in the nutes.

Hey UncleCrash,
My own water is about the same hardness. With well water it can be tough to say with regard to heavy metals and such. You should be good on the Mag during veg with the Sensi Grow, but later in bloom they do have a decent amount of Magnesium in the BudFactor X so supplementing might be necessary at that point if you don't use their full system.

A SmallBoy filter would be good to cut sediment and metals down, if I were going to filter the water that's probably what I would do. But not until I was certain it needed to be done.

Ok so I just went down and mixed up 4 litre it says mix @ 2ml per litre for small plants so I did 8 and 8 and its @ 1000ppm on a 5scale but the ph isnt coming down it went from 7 to 6.5 hmm guess it aint ph perfect in well water. Will see what happens if I mix it with ro and 100 ppm and see what happens. That seems stout also for plants with 4or 5 sets of leafs . Thought's Snow? seeems 2ml litre is more for bigger plants?

Hey UncleCrash,
The pH Perfect Technology is actually chelation, not pH stability. The elements are in a kind of molecular envelope that makes them available to the plant across a wide range. A lot of growers actually make the mistake of pH balancing their system, when all those acid ions just dick with the system's chemistry. Run it as suggested. If it messes up, you have that 100% money back guarantee to back it up.

It's tough to do, trust me, I've been there. But you have to follow their system word for word and just trust that it's going to work. Cutting Edge Solutions did something similar to me. Their full line balances at like 4.5pH. It's nutty, but it's because of the organic acids in their Plant Amp (calcium) supplement. These are weakly bonded and act as chelates for elements, so while it looks all wrong, once you get the full system going it all balances out.
