Who's Using the pH Perfect Technology?

[knowboddy]

I know there are other posts about the pH Perfect nutrients that Advanced Nutrients has come out with but I really want to limit the scope here to people that have or are actually using these new nutes and what their experiences have been. I'm sure there's a lot more opinions about these nutes but I would appreciate it if those who have opinions but haven't actually used the nutrients would just refrain from posting.

So please, no "my buddy's cousin grows with it" or similar stuff. First-hand knowledge.

Also, please make sure you're actually using the pH Perfect version of the nutes. There's the regular stuff and the new stuff, and the labels are different. (The pH Perfect nutes say "pH Perfect Technology" on the label.)

I've been really impressed by how rock-solid it holds the pH and my plants are the happiest I've ever seen them. I just started my second grow with these nutes.


How is everyone else doing with them?

I use AN products exclusively (Connoisseur for base nutrients) and have not been able to find Ph perfect in the Pacific NW. Did you buy Ph perfect versions locally, or did you have to order directly from the AN website?

About 2 weeks ago they released some to test markets in the US.

More of AN's over priced over hyped , oversold heavy metal laden crap. The worst return for dollar spent in the entire industry. And " Big Mike" laughs all the way to the bank whilst ripping y'all off.

Believe me, I think Big Mike is a tool and agree on over hyped.. I was personally glad to Rosebud go by the wayside as it was nothing but AN advertising. As far as the content of their products being crap, not sure on that one.. All I know is the results I get with their products are stellar and I don't see a reason to change. Regarding cost, it's actually not all that significant when you consider the overall spend over time. If Connoisseur A/B last me for 6 months it works out to be about $25 per month in base/micro nutrients.

Have you actually used AN products, or are you just another AN hater?

Well I don't want to say too much about where I'm from, but I don't have a very good grow store near where I live. I don't get a good vibe from the guy that owns/runs it so I don't go there. Something about him makes me not want to trust him and I trust my gut on stuff like that. I just buy online. I honestly haven't even gone into that shop to see if they have the new pH Perfect nutrients in or not.

But I've heard a lot about problems with the Pacific NW, Oregon in particular, with regards to their crazy labeling laws. Don't quote me on it because I'm no expert on it, but if I understood what I read about it right they have all these rules and lists about what they think does and doesn't help plants and if it's not on the list you can't claim it's in the bottle, yadda, yadda, yadda. Basically they have the rules set up so that unless you can afford to run a massive study to scientifically prove something you can't get anything better than farm fertilizers approved. Big agriculture fertilizer companies don't like the little guys trying to horn in on their business (even if it's not for growing corn or whatever) and they use their muscle to make all kinds of trouble. That and all the political BS about MMJ where even in decriminalized areas half the authorities are still trying to throw everyone nearby in jail... it's just a big mess. Oregon's the worst. It's not just Advanced Nutrients that has trouble there, all the quality nutrient companies have trouble with the obstacle course of red tape that state uses.


And then you get guys like (not pointing fingers at the obvious) who use that as fodder to fuel their irrational (or paid) hate towards particular companies.
