Im glad hear about your success, :jointsmile: how many seasons have you been successful with FF?

Im not dead set on them, I just prefer them for bloom, I think they add the right taste and make the smoke perfect. For veg its really up in the air, maybe a mix? I know FF line is both chem with organics, best of both worlds. :thumbsup:

Fox Farms Big Bloom has guano, castings...and the other two in the 3-part series have the micronutes. They also have a handy feeding chart for newbies. (newbies to their nutes, that is) And no...I don't have any type of affiliation to FF or anybody that sells it, other than being a satisfied customer.
I agree, Advanced nutes are a pretty penny but ive heard about the results. What i like to do is find out what they use in some of their products and find substitutes. Like AN Piranha is microorganisms and mostly root fungi, so im going with a $10 Mycorrhizea from plant success.

Thats a good point you bring up, i know the chlorine in tap water also kills them so what I like to do is fill up a Gal of water or however much I will need and I pump air via a small fish pump through the water overnights. Helps aeration and evaporates the chlorine.
