Starting a grow...Botanicare or Advanced Nutes???

[PlantHeadJ]

HI all,
I'm starting a grow that I plan to log. First off I would like to hear all of you're valuable experiences pertaining to nutrients. I am going to use Botanicare or Advanced Nutes. I was wondering if anyone out there has a feeding schedule that works or anyone that can say from experience that one is better than the other. I have grown in soil, DWC (years ago), Sealed room, and Aeroponics. I think this is going to be a flood grow.
using 1000w HPS
4x4 area
hydroton
clones from AK-47
Superthrive
spray-n-grow for misting
Botanicare or Advanced? for main nutes?

Any comments and/or concerns would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. This site is GOLD!

Cant say if one is better than the other but's here the schedule I use. I typed it up for another friend and think it works well.

Why not use GH 3part? A former member came up with a great recipe for gh 3part, heres the link:

I also use it and anything else I've ever run doesn't come close to comparing.

I don't think you'll regret it. I was at the local hydro shop the other day and the owner had just finished setting up the whole Advanced line. It was at least 30-40 products. He said the thing he liked about Advanced is that they have a product for every need you have, so you can use one brand instead of having to use many different.

Please start some posts when you get it all running so we can hear how it goes. Advanced is probably going to be the next line I look into.

So everything is up and going the advanced is working ok with a mild cal mag def. I am only using the sensi A + B bloom with plans to use big bud and overdrive. I am just battling getting my ppm's right. Looking a little lime green from ph but working that out. I'll let ya'll know.

You need to get a pH pen. The liquid indicator is alright but especially when you factor in the color of the nutrient solution, they aren't as accurate as you might want. Shoot for a pH of 5.5-6.

big bud is some good shit. Really plumps them up during early and middle flowering.

Pick up some cal mag plus and you should be set. Water purity varies across the United States so some water supplies NEED to be supplemented in order to have a smooth grow. My water out of the tap is 40 ppm, I add cal mag plus until the ppm are 150 and then I add nutrients.

I use House and Garden Nutrients but mix it up with the additives. I've used some Advanced nutrient products and have never been dissapointed.
