Old Reviews Help me pick a new line, advanced,green planet, cyco,remo and emerald harvest

The only one of those that I have extensive experience with is Advanced. 20 years using them and always get great results. Even easier now with the pH Perfect technology. I've mainly grown DWC or soilless with them using RO or distilled water only. Since the switch to pH Perfect some years back I have never checked pH and never had issues I could say were pH related and I'm talking at least a couple hundred plants. Sometimes I've fed too much or too little but never had weird pH type problems.

All I use is the 3-part, Big Bud for flowering and some Rhino Skin for some silica. Any CalMag will do and I also use some Epsom Salts. I've tried a few of the other supplements but never noticed anything that was worth paying extra money for. They make some specifically for coco too but I never use coco so not sure what all they have. Can't get coco locally but ProMix HP has been around the last 10 years or so and I love it. Straight out of the bale and water in with half strength nutes to start with works great. I rarely go more than half strength unless it's a heavy feeding strain then may go 3/4 at 3mls/L every 2nd watering. I mainly go half that or even 1ml/L each watering to even out the feed. In DWC I may change nutes once after the stretch but mainly never change the nutes the whole grow and just monitor the ppm levels to adjust how much I feed them.

I have a buddy that swears by REMO nutes. He grows professionally and started using them about 6 months ago. I just picked up a small version of their Supercharged kit that I won in a draw at the hydro store in the city. I actually won it last Nov but didn't make it out to the city until two weeks ago and picked it up. All the same 7 bottles but 250ml of each instead of 1L each in the full sized pack. I'll be doing a side-by-side with them and the AN stuff to see how it works out. Also some MegaCrop v.2.0 one part nutes that I also won but on a pot forum and so far I'm liking them too. You should check them out. They're making a 2-part version of their dry nutes now and have a few supplements as well tho I'm not a big fan of tossing a lot of those into the mix.

I have no experience with the Green Planet or Emerald Harvest but they should work too.

If you hate screwing around with pH then go for the AN.

Hey bro thanks for taking the time out and sharing your experience.

I'm liking the idea of soulless medium, it's more easily manageable. I would assume this was coco with a mix off perlite or hydroton.

Yes the ph stability talks for itself as I think this takes away 70 percent off the headache away.

So was the ph perfect sensi grow and bloom perfect for coco. And I'm sure there was need too add cal mag?

You mentioned pro mix, so know I'm confused haha
I thought soiless was coco. And I'm assuming you've only tried to 3 part, big big bud, silica.


So did you friend use advanced first and then make the switch too remo?

If I do try remo I'm kind of worried haha about the ph. But if I do 30 percent mix with coco I'm sure the medium could buffer it out. But tgeres also a chance of nute lockout in coco.

It also defends how chelated nutrients are so they do t too much salt build up behind.

You can't go wrong going with Adv. Nutrients, particularly for base nutes if you have decent water to start with and can get all the pH Perfect benefits. I'm just finishing-up a grow using-up pH Perfect Connoisseur Coco Bloom A&B I already had, with everything going fine, with normal good results; and this is without adding cal-mag (so the coco version has enough in it already). I generally follow TaNg's approach and use AN Connoisseur Coco Bloom A&B from sprouting to harvest.

But I think MegaCrop is just as good; is also very tolerant of water pH (works for me with mid-quality tap water); and I'll probably be switching to the new 2-part formulation.

Yes I've seen tang feed chart both normal and Improved. Theres excellent!

Have you tried the sensi range in coco ? And what's the comparison too the coco advanced based. Somebody was saying that they didnt like the coco range.

My plants do not care how much I paid for the nutrients or if they came in a shinny bottle. Green Leaf nutrients new 2 part is way ahead of the pack now on price and customization ability. Using their online calculator you can approximate what ever NPK ratios you want. I am running them right now for the first time. I have made a couple of mistakes but not too serious. I just gave too much magnesium for a couple of weeks. Here is a look at what I have been doing in 10 gallons. The 30% or 40% add line is mixed into 1 gallon of water and 1/3 of that is added to the reservoir daily to keep the original PPM in the tank. The B1, Potassium, silica, yucca and Phosphorus are NPK industries RAW products.

This schedule is not perfect but it will be closer on the next run. Some plants are really finicky so it is not an easy task.

I am not saying this is for everyone but I am growing 6 plants on less than $50 nutrients.

Thanks for the kind help brother, green leaf haven't yet landed in my district, but I've seen some good results with them

Greenleaf Megacrop 2 part and sweet candy. Save your money for something else.

Hey bro

Tgere not readily available where I'm from, sadly

That sucks. Well if it ever shows up I would grab some. As for what u have listed I’ve used Remo’s full line up and it Performed just fine not as cheap though.

I like the fact there openly admitting it's for cannabis cultivation, if that makes sense as there in a region where growing is more regulated and legal. So they've hands on approach creating unique formulas that actually work.

The main thing is, the bold statement they've made is end product wont have heavy metal. I thi k as grower we need companies who openly admit not what there products can do but what's expected from the end product. Heavy metals are unwanted. They actually also talked about they have low ppm compared too others not the fact theres less nutrient but there more available too the natural, in return leaving less salts behind,

Well before I spoke to a store owner, he said if you want the more medical approach, go for remo.

But I know advanced is a superior company aswell, you cant touch it. There nutes have a wider ph buffer range because there so widely available for the plant. They must be using using expensive salts and not the cheap crap widely available.

Hmmm, mizzo bro did you grow in coco with remo or soil.

I was in coco. I just remember following the mls/gallon on the bottle I don’t think I ever got up to their recommendations but maybe it was 3ml/gallon

ProMix is peat based with zero coco. Very easy to use and needs no pre-charging or multiple daily waterings to work well. I use their HP version which is chock full of perlite and can be used straight out of the bale with nothing added but the nutes you want to feed your plants with.

Their website has a listing of all their products and they make coco blends too. Their training center has a lot of great info for growers too. Not specific to cannabis but covers many subjects in detail. Read about pH and discover what a truly complicated subject that is.

Soilless can be many things. Coco, peat, inert materials like perlite, hydroton balls or lava rock. Or even just water with nutes added like in DWC.

Few people grow in just coco or peat moss. In the case of ProMix HP it has mostly peat but so much perlite you don't need to add any. It also has two types of lime to buffer pH as peat is low pH and it has myco, (beneficial microbes), to aid roots in absorbing nutrients.

Water quality plays a big factor too so I only use RO or distilled water with a little bit of CalMag added. Our tap water comes from a dugout on my property and is about 400ppm at pH8+ so would cause problems.

My buddy uses all sorts of nutes but since he got REMO he's sticking with that for now. I just got mine so haven't really formed an opinion but if pH bothers you get 1L bottles of the AN 3-part and go with that to see how you like it. Don't forget some Big Bud and you can get a small jar of the powder cheap enough. Then you just want a little CalMag with iron and some Epsom Salts that can be got at the drug store. All you need.

I started using AN pH Perfect Connoisseur Coco Bloom A&B when it came out a few years ago. Before that I used the regular/non-coco version. I can't compare it vs. the Sensi product line.

I don't recall ever seeing and can't say anything negative about AN pH Perfect Connoisseur Coco or the Connoisseur regular version. As I noted, the coco (cal-mag supplement included) part worked for me. For the few $ difference, why not go with the upscale Connoisseur (claims to be better, and I'm confident it is) vs. the mainstream/hydro shops' Sensi product line? [But again, I suggest giving new 2-part MegaCrop serious consideration too].

Yh defently amazing that your friend turned over too the Remo line, ph is a factor but if using soil, I think I’ll have a quick look and pour it in. hopefully it should buffer it out like.

It would be quite Intresting what your friend found appealing, about Remo bytes. As it’s a big step. It’s like leaving the bmw and jumping in Ferrari. I want the Ferrari of nutrients. I’m getting the jist. That there better but in what respect.

defo smash a diary link bro when you do on heat, so all off us can have a look. As this subject is one that must blunder every grower. We all want the best, let’s highlight the best too help everyone
