well so far its a bust. i contacted my local an rep that i actually know by name and was informed you need to use the secondary nutrients as well...... i tested this in ro water recently and still did not have the results claimed by an. the vendor i have is reputable and it is the ph perfect bottles. even with the whole lineup i was told you need to check the ph the same as the old lineup which honestly does me no good. it simply does not work as advertised from my end.
This is not a failure on the part of the nutrients.
Here's what the guys at Advanced Nutrients told me on the phone:
The pH Perfect system is only guaranteed to work with RO water.
It is not guaranteed to work with Fox Farm (or anyone else's) additives.
The base nutrients alone are not the pH Perfect system. The Hobbyist level bundle is also necessary to guarantee pH stability.
Depending on a number of variables you may see stable pH without RO water. You may see stable pH with off-brand additives. You may see stable pH without the hobbyist bundle. But none of that is guaranteed to happen. It's also not guaranteed to work with coco as has already been pointed out. That's no surprise since no two sources of coco coir are exactly the same and coco is so unstable biochemically compared to most hydroponic mediums.
