Advanced Nutrients has its origins more than a decade ago, the company first started as a hydroponic nutrients and equipment retailer, which was quickly replaced by another company that focused on more professional equipment and in 1999 became the company we all know nowadays. If you're growing autoflowers with Advanced Nutrients you should start with a lower dose and increase it gradually to avoid overfeeding and other related problems. Because Advanced Nutrients are one of the top choices amongst cannabis growers, we’ve come up with a guide to help you make the most out of their fertilizers.
1. Advanced Nutrients Products
Advanced Nutrients offers a wide range of fertilizers that suits all type of growers, it doesn’t matter if you’re growing photos or autos, in coco, soil or hydro, they will have what you need.
In this case, we’ll be focusing on a feeding schedule for those growing autoflowers in soil which is what most of our clients use but don’t worry, you can use this schedule as a guideline and with minor adjustments, you can adapt it to any type of grow setup. Also, have in mind that Advanced Nutrients offers other products that we didn't name here because you won't be using them with this feeding schedule. So, before using them it’s important you know why you use them, so here’s a bit of information about the products you will be using.
Voodoo Juice
Voodoo Juice helps you take care of the roots, by providing beneficial microorganisms and vitamins that will help your plant absorb nutrients more effectively.
These living beings will also provide oxygen while making nutrients more available, thus resulting in bigger and healthier roots and consequently a healthier plant.
Piranha
Just like the Voodoo Juice, Piranha provides beneficial fungi such as Trichoderma and mycorrhizae that will develop a symbiotic relationship with your cannabis plants.
These microorganisms will multiply the radicular zone, making it easier for your plants to absorb water and nutrients while protecting your plants’ roots against harmful microorganisms.
Base Bloom
Base Bloom is one of a 3-part nutrient line specially designed for Cannabis and is 20% more concentrated than similar products, providing all the macronutrients your plants need to produce big, fat, and resinous buds.
| Base Bloom Contents |
|---|
| Nitrogen |
| Phosphorus |
| Potassium |
Bloom is also a pH perfect product, meaning it will keep the pH stable and in an optimum range; This product should be used with the other 2 parts which are Micro and Grow but in this feeding schedule designed for autoflowers it’s used by itself.
Tarantula
Tarantula is a mix of beneficial fungi that will help you prevent root problems such as overwatering, pests, lack of oxygen, and other root problems that you may encounter.
This product will colonize the root system and minimize all kinds of stress your plants may suffer throughout the growth cycle, resulting in bigger plants and better yields, especially with autoflowers.
Bud Candy
Bud Candy provides carbohydrates, calcium, and magnesium which will aid in resin production and help your plant produce bigger trichomes, resulting in more cannabinoids, terpene, and other compounds while also filling in the nuclei of the cells, which will result in denser buds and bigger yields.
Have in mind that Bud Candy won't do the trick by itself but using in recombination with the rest of the products, good equipment, and the right conditions your plants will end up producing an overall better-quality resin.
B-52
B-52 provides lots of vitamins and minerals that will help your plants perform photosynthesis easier, making nutrients readily available and directing them to where they’re needed.
| B-52 Contents | |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen | B9, B6, B5, B3, B2, B1 vitamins |
| Phosphorus | Humic acid |
| Potassium | Fulvic acid |
These benefits will allow your plant to grow healthier and absorb as many nutrients as they can while helping combat stress caused by intense light, low temperatures, and underwatering.
Nirvana
Nirvana is a 100% organic product that contains biocatalysts that the roots absorb and will result in vigorous and strong plants because it enhances cell division and promotes root growth during the vegetative stage.
Also, if used during the flowering stage you will see explosive growth and you’ll see all the flowering sites full of flowers faster than ever while being completely organic so there's no need to worry about overfeeding.
Rhino Skin
Rhino Skin is a product that provides Potassium silica and Silicate dioxide which creates a shield that will reinforce the cells’ walls helping them endure high temperatures and protecting them against pests and harmful fungi. This “armour” allows your plants to grow a bigger and stronger stem and branches, being able to grow bigger and denser buds without you needing to provide support to the branches.
Big Bud
Big bud is a bloom stimulant that will provide everything your plants need to produce the best buds possible, by using Big Bud starting from the first week of flowering your plants will produce bigger and fatter colas, increasing yields and bud quality.
As you can see in the image above, this product contains minerals, acids, and proteins that will do exactly what the name of the product says, help you get big buds.
Sensi Zym
Sensi Zym contains Beta-glucanase, Xylanase, and Cellulase designed to transform all of the compounds that your plant cannot absorb into assimilable molecules, these enzymes combat nutrient build-up and will recycle all of the unused nutrients in the soil into a form that can be easily absorbed.
Bud Factor X
Bud Factor X provides a micronutrient mix that helps avoid all types of deficiencies related to trace minerals, strengthening your plants’ immune system.
By doing this, your plant will be protected against bugs and pests while also enhancing terpene, flavonoid, and trichome production, resulting in more potent, and better tasting and smelling buds.
Overdrive
Overdrive is designed for when your plants are almost ready for harvest, this product should be used during the last two weeks of the flowering stage when the flowers are formed and need a bit of nutrients to fatten up properly.
| Overdrive Contents | |
|---|---|
| Nitrogen | Potassium |
| Phosphorus | Magnesium |
By using it at the right time you can end up increase bud density by around 10% while you see an explosion in calyx growth and an abundance of trichomes all over them, and when used properly, will take your flowers to the next level.
Flawless Finish
Flawless Finish, as the name indicates, it’s used during the flushing process to finish your grow cycle flawlessly; This product contains chelates such as magnesium and sulfur, which not only clean but also blocks nutrients in the medium so your plant is completely clean when it’s time to harvest.
This product should be used for 7-10 days at least to eliminate nutrient build-up, resulting in a smoother smoke and truly revealing the smell and taste of the specific strain you’re growing.
