Dutch pro or advanced nutrients

[Maryjaneman]

Switching my nutrients on the next go around and trying to decide between Dutch pro and advanced nutrients anyone used both and have a comparison or think one is better than the other it’s so had to decide!!

I have been using Advanced Nutrients for the last 2 years and although their nutrient concentrates work well, they are very expensive & their basic feed charts recommend using 6+ different AN products between Veg & grow. Some of their more "advanced" feed charts recommend using 10+ different nutrients........which is a bit ridiculous, in my opinion. I am currently growing some Girl Scout Cookies with the Advanced Nutrients and they are doing great but I am using 8 different nutrients

1) Micro
2) Grow
3) Bloom
4) B-52
5) Vodoo
6) Nirvana
7) Overdrive
8) Big Bud
Girl Scout Cookies


Also, if you do decide to use AN, I would strongly recommend to cut the recommended dosage levels by 25-30%......... lots of growers I spoke to agree with this when it comes to this brand.

Anyways I am probably going to try some different nutrients after my current GSC grow.

Don't know anything about Dutch Pro.....sorry. But am always interested in hearing peoples experience with different nutrient brands.

I have never used AN, with that being said I have seen loads of folk
say they work well but way over priced and almost all switch to
something else.

[Leon727272]

Exactly correct.............the stuff works, for sure, BUT............... very expensive / lots of different nutrients needed (as per their grow charts)

1) Micro
2) Grow
3) Bloom
4) B-52
5) Vodoo
6) Nirvana
7) Overdrive
8) Big Bud

Throw out everything that I haven't made bold... and swap it for some cheap PK 13/14 from the poundshop - it is highly unlikely you would spot any difference... but your wallet would be happier

Wow I thought each stage was its own did not realise you had to layer them ye that’s expensive as a mother. I’m going Dutch pro. £230 for 10l of base nutrients and a L for all rest only 6 in total. I’m on botanicare at minute will post pics soon.

imo, AN nutes are a cash grab aimed at those greedy for more yield.. Big Mike has often said: 'Whatever you spend with me, you'll get 100s more back'.

I get nothing back, I'm percy. A gram costs me about £0.70 to grow. If I spend an extra £100 on nutes, I need an extra 140g just to break even. No thanks.

Take a look at GH 3 part. It is designed to give you whatever nutrient profile you want.

ionic grow and bloom,
Heath Robinson grew a 76 ounce plant under 1200watts and ionic nutes, never going above 1.2 EC, but hes super human.
they are one part grow, one part bloom.
get these, some cal mag, silicone and pk, thats all you need

[Farmer Geddon]

If you want trees, Ionic has plenty of N. Ionic Bloom has more N than my plants get in veg.
