Old Reviews Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect

[opi8250]

That pretty much seems to be what I found by using it... Never once have checked my pH, and haven't had an issue either.

At least with sunshine mix #4

*edit*
Not that I recommend ignoring pH or anything, the stuff just seems to work wonders for me..

After doing a bunch of reading I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter what your ph is when you use an ph perfect. The stuff is so chelated your plants will get fed regardless. That's why it doesn't matter if you use the stuff in coco/dwc/soil. The ph differences don't matter.

I'm still happy I just recently bought an ro unit though. Maybe this might be news to some of you! I know I for one didn't think I could get a ro unit for 64$

I've started using this unit a few days ago and it's been great so far. I also just ordered some ph perfect sensi bloom coco! excited to try out this stuff in my new drip system.

Hope you will be lucky. I have just screwed 4 plants with AN. After getting 100+ regularly with basic Hesi, I had switched to Sensi A+B.

Two plants were fed with tap water, soil finished at ph 6,8 - 7 and yield was 30g and 40g, to be ashamed really. No chelated nutrients that are promised to work when ph is out of sweet spot. Or not enough of them. Plants looked deceivingly great, just did not yield. Almost no sign of deficiency, the only deficiency was lack of buds.

With RO or better DI at that time, result was a little bit better and they will finish with fatter buds (still grow today), but 60-70g per plant only. Soil ph at the end was bellow 6 but was still better than 7 in tap water part.

After these disastrous results I try to mix RO water with some little tap, not much is needed for ph to rise over 6, but I am very doubtfull.

Has anyone experienced a grow with beautifully looking plants that show no defficiencies but also no serious buds at the end?

Damn that sucks man. Maybe your tap water is bad? have you gotten good results with diff nutes + same tap water?

So I used half strength in my ro water + bigbud and it took it down to 5.5. Probably would have been spot on without the bigbud. I notice that shit drops ph a shit ton.

Sucks, yes. Tap water was good enough for 145g per plant with Hesi at best, 100+ regularly. But I knew it wouldnt be good for AN, so I used RO also. 60g per plant fed with RO instead of 30g with tap water. Disaster.

No AN works perfect for me.. if i had no buds at the end id look at another strain.

I wouldn't give up on them. I just don't think you have it dialled in yet mate.
Were you using an AN additives Gonzo?
Your plants looked beautiful, and like a said before TD is notorious for going 90 days +, after all this I recall one going 120, I think it was Jim from 420 forum. If you can't wait that long I suggest also like Elvis said and look I to a new strain, Mazar perhaps if your going for yield.

And isn't Ph perfect good from like ph 4.5-8.0 to work or something like that. Iv had 1 successful grow with the coco formula, and I used just bubbled tap water, (7.2pH 0.2EC)
The only other thing I can think of for no bud growth would be to much N and I doubt it's that.

After using ph perfect sensi coco my plants have been having problems. For some reason I seem to be having a potassium problem. All my plants are stretching and flowering is extremely slow and almost non existent. Day 42 and I barely have any flowers formed. My last plant ended up one of my worse ones and it stretched like crazy. I dunno what is going on with my stuff but it definitely seems like it has to be the sensi I've been using.


After doing some research I'm starting to think I haven't been feeding my plants enough. I guess AN is really watered down? I haven't been growing long but I've always read to cut stuff in half, especially for autoflowers. It seems like maybe I really shouldn't have cut back on the dosage. I think AN is maybe the first nute you should actually really use what they say on the back of the bottle. I'm going to increase my feed and see what happens. I hope I've figured it out because I really want to like this stuff. PH stability is amazing.

I've been having very similar problems to you right now and my last grow was exactly like you described. At what strength did you feed at? I'm really thinking we aren't feeding enough. I'm assuming you weren't feeding at full strength.
