I've used AN stuff since almost day 1 m8 around 10 years ago.. like u I like the 'PH perfect' thing for handiness.. I've tried some other bits and pieces over the years but always wind up back at ANs stuff.. I've always used big bud and overdrive and I would also say if there's 1 additive that I think makes a noticable visible/physical difference to my buds its that.. overdrive.. if I could only have 1 additive/booster whatever you term it overdrive would be it hands down.. I started using the bud candy last grow just on the recommendation of the legendry grower of monster plants
@Teetee Who if i remember correctly reckoned that combo made a noticeable difference to smell and taste.. and after 1 grow I agree totally.. sparklier buds.. harder.. smellier. and the taste of that skoosh.. so good.. now I have to say I've also used Grove bags there.. but the smell sparkle and feel of the buds for me at the end of the grow was noticeably better with the bud candy/big bud combo.. the overdrive as you know then pushes them over the line..
All that said.. I might go full organic for the next SoG here as an experiment.. not sure my nerves will hold up if the trusty AN bottles aren't in sight haha
