When I started growing I bought a quart each of Humboldt's Micro, Grow, & Bloom. After raising four plants for about 80 days now, I am running low on nutes, especially Bloom. So yesterday Big Brown brings me a shipment of Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect Micro, Grow, Bloom.
The AN appears to be lower on N-P-K all the way around, and recommends a fairly steady feeding schedule where Humboldts has more of a sliding scale adding much more Bloom in flowering. Next Friday I'll be switching over to the AN. The listed nutrient values and suggested feeding of each are listed below. My question is should I trust the AN instructions and jump to full strength since I've been running close to the 100% rec of the Humboldt which, on paper at least, appears to have higher concentrations of N-P-K ? Or start slow 30 to 50% and work my way up?
Any suggestions or tips welcomed. TIA.
