whats different
hen you decide to buy an Advanced Nutrient product what youre really buying is peace-of-mind. Heres why. Youre a client to us not a customer. Whats the difference? A customer is somebody you do business with and then for all practical purposes forget about. A client is under the care, guidance and protection of an expert in the field. Think about it, because thats a very important distinction. Moreover, all Advanced Nutrients team members take this responsibility seriously. In fact, they realize the importance of putting your success first. Thats one of the reasons all team members are so passionate about getting you using the best products, information and results for your crops.
about us
amount of pressure on every team member in our entire organization to continually give you the very best products, information and drives constant innovation -- anything less and we would have to suffer the embarrassment of having to send you to one of our competitors. And this isnt lip service. Its absolute doctrine at Advanced Nutrients, you are a client first and foremost, your long term success is the essential part of our company culture. You see, Advanced Nutrients is the Hydroponics industries thought leader and innovator. When you use any Advanced Nutrients product you are getting the best technologies available to you. I realize this may sound like a bunch of yea sure thats what they all say to you. Maybe it is to you... But maybe its not. And if its not. Then what? So I want you to take the time to consider this for a moment. Advanced Nutrients has created more Industry firsts for our growing community than any other hydroponics company, period. In fact, heres your very long list of them. Take a quick look and judge for yourself...
Advanced Nutrients has created more Industry firsts for our growing community than any other hydroponics company, period.
First to do testing on the types of plants you grow, and in the types of gardens you grow in. First and still the only Hydroponics company to have an all out real PhD staffed research team. First to develop and deploy a self adjusting pH line of base nutrients and supplements so you wont have to balance or adjust your nutrients pH ever again. First to invent and use beneficial microbes to balance and maintain pH. First to use 100% chelated micronutrients giving you full protection over an ultra wide pH range. First to use chelated macro nutrients. First to use a new class of pH buffering technologies. First to invent pH activated and balancing molecular technologies. First to do daily tissue samples in relevant garden settings. First to invent sealed grow rooms for the hydroponics community with total environmental controls (these rooms are known in the industry as The Perfect Room). First to create patented engineered fertilizer programs.
Because they realize anything less, and theyll be putting you at a disadvantage. And that doesnt mean just using Advanced Nutrients products, if there is a better product out there they have been given very clear instructions to recommend that product even if its a competing product with one of our own products. Now when you think about that last statement it obviously puts a tremendous
Advanced Nutrients: The leader in developing cutting-edge scientific solutions for your unique hydroponic needs.

First to give you root zone enhancers. First to offer you toll-free and online technical support. Invented the feed chart. Invented the nutrient calculator. First and only company to offer a 100% performance guarantee. First and one of the few to use hot water manufacturing for superior dissolving of all liquid products. First to use multiple element filtering of all products. First hydroponics company to use bloom cofactors, and other specialty components that stimulate growth to get you bigger yields. First to use ultra-purified reverse osmosis water for manufacturing products. Most hydroponics nutrient companies still use tap water to manufacture their products. First to use standardized reverse osmosis water tuning in all manufacturing facilities and labs. This enables all water used to manufacture and test with is exactly the same anywhere in the world. And is the same technology used by Coca Cola, Pepsi and Anheuser-Busch to ensure you always get the same consistent product. First to use hormone-producing microbes. First to use beneficial enzymes. First to offer varietal nutrient mixture ratio and formulation. First to offer email tech support, entertainment media, and gardening videos. First to create products that stimulate plant immune systems. First to offer symbiotic synthetic-organic hybrid fertilizers. First to make hydro-organic formulas that work perfectly no matter what garden you use them in. First to do competitive product testing. First to offer products in easy to use packaging, foil pouches, and hydrofriendly configurations.
...if there is a better product out there they have been given very clear instructions to recommend that product even if its a competing product with one of our own products.
So you start to take a walk around and see merchants everywhere. As you come around a corner there he is, the great master himself, Leonardo da Vinci sitting in a chair surrounded by all these really wonderful inventions and beautiful works of art. So you stop and stare at all of his original works and inventions. Advanced Nutrients: The Da Vinci of hydroponics companies. First to offer a total system that takes care of your entire plant. First to offer beneficial microbes and other products that protect grow rooms without toxic effects. Invented carbohydrate supplements for plants. First to use amino acids in bloom boosters. First to identify the specific ratios of macro and micro nutrients your plants need for bigger yields. First to have perfectly balanced cations and anion based nutrients that control pH in your growing medium. Ok enough already, and Im sure there are lots more that I havent remembered yet. Its a fact the entire hydroponics nutrient industry has been chasing and imitating us for years. Which brings me to something else... Imagine just for a few moments you could jump into a time machine and be transported back to the year 1504. Boom! There you are ... its Saturday morning and youre standing in the outdoor market in Florence Italy. Its a sunny day, the sky is clear blue, the temperature is in the mid 70s, and theres a gentle breeze blowing across your face.

To your amazement theyre all for sale and when you reach into your pocket -- sure enough -- you have plenty of money. So you start to negotiate for one of his works of art. But just before youre ready to hand him your money you notice another merchant 30 feet away and he has what looks like some of the same stuff Leonardo has. So you approach him and ask him his price. He offers you better prices and he says to you that he has a similar work of art like the one you were just looking at, in fact he even claims its exactly the same as Leonardos work. However under very close scrutiny you discover its not just the same. In fact, the workmanship is shoddy and it lacks inspiration. Well which one are you going to buy? The answer is really obvious. Isnt it? So why would you want to compromise when it comes to buying your hydroponics nutrients? Truthfully, you wouldnt knowingly do so, would you? And personally, I dont want you to either, thats why I listed all of Advanced Nutrients hydroponics industry firsts and leading inventions for you More importantly, I want you to be absolutely sure when you make your choices -- its going to be the right one for you and your plants. Thanks for taking the time to read this, youll find the rest of this magazine interesting and informative. Enjoy:-) BigMike

PART B
e all want our plants to get into peak bloom phase faster and to yield a bigger harvest. Now, a team of one dozen plant PhDs and their research assistants believe they have found the answer

The secret, says Dr. Savov, Is we implement the Japanese engineering principle of continuous improvement called kaizen into developing a better 2-part premium bloom base fertilizer. The principle of kaizen states that small, continual improvements at each step of a multi-part process equals a much larger, compounded total increase in performance in the final product.
CoMpound IMproveMenT The MoST poWerful, plAnT GroWInG forCe In The unIverSe?
uch like Albert Einstein called compound interest, the most powerful force in the universe these small, continuous improvements at each phase of a multi-part process yield a very powerful, impressive end result. So, when it comes to a premium bloom base fertilizer a team of 12 PhDs working for Advanced Nutrients in a leading Bulgarian research lab simply found multiple ways to improve upon each stage of the two-part process of growing plants. In the end, it worked exceptionally well to achieve a bigger, compounded, yield in at least one documented head-to-head, consumer trial over 40% bigger!

irst, the scientists wanted to improve upon the actual ingredients used in their 2-part formula. The idea was to give you better building blocks for your plants to use to get bigger yields, more colorful flowers, a stronger aroma and maximum potency. This was the first stage the team improved upon. Next, they wanted to enhance your plants abilities to get the maximum absorption of these nutrients because having the highest quality ingredients without ensuring your plants can fully absorb them is worthless. The scientists discovered that most growers arent seeing bigger yields with other fertilizers because their plants arent able to effectively absorb the nutrients being used. Obviously, improving the absorption abilities of your plant greatly compounds the effectiveness of the high quality ingredients being used! Lastly, in an effort to maximize every part of your plants deepest core levels of plant bloom metabolism and

The Secret Grand Master Growers Have Used To Win Every Major Growing Competition In The World!
ow, you dont have to be an expert, grand master grower in order to get bigger, juicier, more aromatic, and more potent buds from your plants. All you have to do is put the same secret grand master growers have used to win every major growing competition in the world to use with your plants. Heres the story: recently, a respected team of over a dozen plant scientists and graduate assistants discovered, after 109 man-years of research, how to combine 5

different plant improving formulas into one breakthrough 2-part bloom base nutrient. Whats more: youll never have to worry about pH issues again because these scientists have completely eliminated the need for pH-PPM metering or even adjusting pH levels with their patented pH-Perfect Technology. All this in effect means it is now possible for even the most inexperienced hydroponics rookie to start experiencing pro level juicy yields and buds!
The Secret 5 Part Plant Maximizing Formula and How Science Ensures Get You Bigger, Juicier Buds From Your Plants Because of It!
Ingredient #1 ensures that the nutrients in this formulation get into your plants as quickly as possible. Its an organic surfactant called Wet Betty and it does something every plant grower wants Surfactants are wetting agents that lower the surface tension of a liquid (in this case, nutrient-rich water) allowing easier spreading and uptake of nutrients into your plants. Which of course means your plants will get the organic nutrients they crave faster and more efficiently than ever before which greatly increases your plants bloom yield. Ingredients #2 and #3 are humic and fulvic acids. These organic acids give your plants an edge when it comes to growing quicker, stronger, and bigger with less stress than with any other formulation. Heres how The humic provides natural carrier compounds that transport nutrients and vitamins into plants more efficiently, so your plants grow faster and have stronger cellular processes. In addition, the fulvic here gives you quicker nutrient absorption, nutrient transport, and more cellular metabolism. Together, they work synergistically to maximize the time your plants spend in bloom. And ingredient #4 completes the package because its ...
How To Get The Optimal Amounts Of Micro and Macro Nutrients For A Bigger Yield
To ensure your plants get the most out of the nutrients youre feeding them, the scientists rely on chelation to enhance absorption. In fact, this 5-in-1 formula contains the optimum number of chelated macronutrients that your plants need for faster growth and bigger blooms. In addition, the following micronutrients are 100% chelated: iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, copper, boron and cobalt which of course means your plants more easily absorb and use these nutrients giving you bigger buds and more yield from the same bloom time!
The Bodybuilding Secret That Gives Your Plants Bigger, More Potent Buds!
In the sport of bodybuilding, athletes supplement with amino acids to help fuel muscle growth because theyre the essential building blocks on which protein growth is based. But your plants can benefit from the addition of amino acids too! Thats why the 4th ingredient in this one of a kind 2-part base nutrient is amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that fuel metabolic pathways for enhanced floral and essential oil production. Ingredient #5 is, of course, the actual plantmaximizing nutrients themselves. But, you should know

all you have to do is add the bloom base nutrient Sensi Bloom and the pH-Perfect Technology takes care of all that for you!
You see, your plants use a small amount of phosphorus during flowering, but what they really love to use is nitrogen and potassium. The scientists at Advanced Nutrients discovered this only after taking thousands of weekly tissue samples from buds, stems, leaves and roots of many varieties using gas chromatography analysis throughout all phases of plant growth. Other nutrient companies are over-using phosphorus in hydroponic bloom fertilizers. And to compound problems, they use high levels of ingredients like mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) or diammonium phosphate (DAP). These substances are what give some plants their harsh taste. But the good news is: with Sensi Bloom youre guaranteed to have the correct nutrient ratios for your plants!
Youve seen how the addition of Advanced Nutrients proprietary pH-Perfect Technology makes it possible for you to never worry about pH or PPM monitoring ever again Youve met other growers like yourself, who were skeptical at first but now will never use anything but Sensi Bloom because its giving them nearly double the harvest yields and up to 3 inches of growth per day And you know Advanced Nutrients fully stands behind Sensi Bloom and every other product they sell with their 100% full money back guarantee.

But luckily, R.K. heard about a brand-new 3-part formula and he had a lot of clones he could afford to try a new fertilizer on. Although he was sceptical, he decided to test this new scientist-developed formula against the fertilizer he had been using for over fifteen long years in a straight up, head-to-head, growing test. And the results amazed him Right off the bat, it was easy to see that my clones grew faster, they were greener and stronger, and they were ready for flowering about two weeks earlier. My bloom cycle was more productive I used less fertilizer overall and got better growth and yield. I guess I learned to keep an open mind and to always look for the best way to do something, not just the way youre used to. Now, Grow-Micro-Bloom (GMB) is the solid foundation for my 20-light garden!
Thats why they demand only the best when it comes to: l Using 3-part formulas designed for their high-value plants l Using formulas with the most potent nutrients and ratios l Using the most advanced, state-of-the-art, carrier molecules to ensure their plants get the maximum amount of nutrients in the least amount of time l Using the formulas which have been proven, in multiple scientific studies, to get more color, more aroma, more size, and more potency from our plants l And using formulas which are not only highly-advanced and easily customizable, but easy to mix and use In fact, Grand Master Growers have found Grow-Micro-Bloom (GMB) from Advanced Nutrients is the only 3-part formula on the market which meets all these criteria. Heres why the others dont measure up ...
Now you can use the only 3-part hydroponics base fertilizer tested and designed by scientists to give you guaranteed larger harvests and more convenient use.
even if you do manage to get a formula with nutrients which are good for your plants (which, as youve seen, most dont have) then youre probably still wasting most of those nutrients because those formulas dont have carrier molecules to drive those nutrients straight into your plants faster and more efficiently. This is actually a big problem because most of your nutrients are not getting into our plants which wastes your money and this causes longer crop cycles which wastes your time. But it doesnt need to be this way
How You Can Get At Least 31% More Nutrients Into Your Plants At Least 37% Faster

compounds that bind with nutrients and help them get inside plants so the plant cells can use them more quickly and more efficiently. Its these chelates which give GMB an almost unfair advantage over every other 3-part formula on the market because it drives the nutrients into your plants in the most efficient, fastest manner possible. In fact, these exclusive chelates are so effective that tests (with our types of plants) show they deliver at least 31% more nutrients into your plants at least 37% faster!

Youre about to discover how easily you can enlarge the power dimensions of your plants roots and guarantee yourself bigger harvests with custom-designed microbially active supplements ... These powerful supplements create ideal root zone environments better able to intake nutrients resist stress and diseases and your roots stay stronger because beneficial microbes break down old root material, providing nutrition while enabling roots to repair themselves and create new tissue.
Plus, microbes help oxygen to penetrate more into your roots capture nitrogen and help pump more phosphorus into your plants. The question has now becomewhat is the best way to install beneficial microbes into your hydroponics root zone? To answer this question, Advanced Nutrients scientists conducted a multi-phase research project on a unique suite of beneficial microbes contained in VooDoo Juice.

For example, Your plants give faster growth, larger flowers when someone talks about the microbe Your roots are more resistant to heat, stress, drought, bacillus subtilis, that strain name is really nutrient burn and other common problems just the tip of the iceberg its exactly like saying General Motors to describe a car, Not All Beneficial Root Microbes and you have no idea if its a Pontiac or a Formulas Are Created Equal Chevy.
And if its a Chevy, it could be either a Malibu or Corvette. So if youre lucky, you got the Corvette but youre still left guessing if your Corvette has the 430 hp motor or if its a ZR1 Corvette with the 620 horsepower The answer is that there are two very distinct processes motor! Thats how much difference there is manufacturers use when they want to offer microbes between individual types of bacillus subtilis microbes. Obviously we absolutely make products ... sure VooDoo Juice microbes are always the ZR1 Corvette with 620 horsepower motor, not the Chevy Malibu! You know beneficial microbes will help your plants, but it can be confusing when you go to the store and see so many of these formulas made by different manufacturers. The obvious question is which one will give you the best bang for your buck?
Advanced Nutrients hires the sharpest microbiologists in the world. One of them is especially impressive: she has three Ph.D. degrees! We have a team of scientists testing and breeding hundreds of sub-varieties of bacillus subtilis and other beneficial microbes in a continual research program. In fact over the last two years VooDoo Juices root-producing abilities have been increased by 117% Specific beneficial microbes work better with certain plants than others. Thats why we put so much time and money into our breeding program.

Most likely, youre one of the 91.7% of growers who use bloom boosters every bloom cycle, because you want to be sure your boosters give you the biggest yields possible for your garden ... to be precise ... you look for bloom boosters that give you: l l l Larger, heavier, denser flowers Flowers with more essential oils, aromatics, terpenoids, phenols and other potency factors Measurable, significant increases in overall harvest weight and market value
38
Worse, almost all bloom boosters have incorrect ratios or types of phosphorus and potassium. Most provide double the amount of phosphorus to potassium. Thats not useful. Your plants need much more potassium than phosphorus during bloom phase. And when too much phosphorus is dumped into your plants, it creates a potential for phosphorus toxicity that works against flower production and overall plant health. Not only that, your crops may taste harsh so they hurt your throat and lungs.
Why the special emphasis on these four L-form amino acids? Heres why: Your plants utilize L-tryptophan to create an important floral growth hormone called indole acetic acid (IAA). Boosting synthesis of IAA creates larger flowers with more potency. L-Cysteine provides sulphur, and along with L-Glycine is a prime element in formation of an internal plant protectant compound called glutathione. Plants respond to bloom phase stress by making glutathione, which has a number of functions including helping plants deal with heat stress, other environmental stressors, and free radicals. Because many hydroponics nutrients provide no amino acids, and because indoor gardening is inherently stressful

Now that you know the crucial role amino acids play in floral production and overall plant health, its important to have the L-form of amino acids rather than the less-complex D form aminos. This is because your plants cells need all 20 amino acids, but even the bloom boosters that do provide amino acids, contain aminos that are hard for your plants to create or absorb, because theyre less water soluble, called D-aminos.

Youre already giving your plants the best environment and nutrients possible, but did you know you may need vitamins too? In fact, scientists tested identical clones side by side in identical systems. The clones are fed the same diet, except that half of the clones receive a vitamin that the other clones do not receive. Both sets of clones were closely monitored during growth and after harvest with scientists taking plant tissue samples to measure plant metabolism, nutrient absorption, and overall plant health. Plus, total yield size, quality and essential oil content are also measured. Using statistical analysis and other criteria, scientists determined if the vitamin had any effects, and if so, what those effects are.
Folic Acid helps plants maintain healthy metabolism and DNA and upgrades the weight and quality of your harvest. But because folic acid breaks down easily (especially under intense lighting), its a good idea to supplement with folic acid in your plants. Vitamin B5 is essential because without sufficient B5, plants die, grow slowly, or are susceptible to stress disorders and pathogenic diseases. Enough said! Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps your plants use and create carbohydrates so your plants have enough energy for strong growth and production of flowers and essential oils.

QUESTION: I use your Big Bud with Connoisseur and get fantastic results. So why is Overdrive also very useful for me? ANSWER: Big Bud is indeed a top-producing bloom booster and Connoisseur is a premium bloom base nutrients formula. But our studies find that bloom phase has sub-phases during which very specific types and ratios of ingredients are required. For plants in their last 2-3 weeks of growth, the ingredients in Overdrive are more effective at increasing crop value than Big Bud, which is used earlier in bloom cycle. And no matter what base nutrients you use, Overdrive gives you increased late season production. QUESTION: I used Overdrive and it did not increase the size as much as it increased the potency, aroma and taste. Is this a normal thing to expect? ANSWER: In some crops, depending on genetics, crop environment, grower skill, and other nutrients being used, you might see both a crop size and a crop quality increase. In other situations, Overdrive will primarily increase the percentages of essential oils, aromatics and other value-adding compounds in your flowers. QUESTION: What about pH and PPM when I use Overdrive? ANSWER: If you are using Overdrive as part of our Bigger Yields System, you have no need to be concerned about pH and PPM. Just use Overdrive as directed- the System is configured to balance all formulas together to be at the ideal absorbability and strength. If you are using Overdrive without using the System, it can increase PPM by as much as 200 PPM, and you would need to monitor your nutrient strength accordingly.

Most mediums are hard to work with they cost you time and money... Most rooting media arent properly aerated they choke your plants and deprive them of the oxygen they need to grow...

Its as easy and simple as cut and stick. No gels or powders needed. 50 plugs custom formulated and developed by Jiffy and Advanced Nutrients. 100% guaranteed to work or your money back.
and pH issues youd normally see with bark based mediums because in wet rooting situations the structural fibers of bark break down and clog out air spaces. This negatively affects the most important part of your plants their roots because you need proper air space for roots to grow quickly and fully in indoor rooting situations.
And most growers suffer from their mediums being too wet leading to disease issues that reduce yields and bud development... But the scientists at Advanced Nutrients were determined to change all this by embarking on a joint research project with Jiffy to develop the perfect rooting medium...
How This Unique Structure Gets You Superior Rooting Automatically?... Every grower knows that getting your plants to root faster... and... develop stronger, deeper and bigger root structures... directly translates to faster rooting plants, better quality crops and world-class yields. Because of the extremely uniform substrate and structure with hundreds of micro air pockets evenly distributed throughout Root Shooters plugs, you easily get extensive fibrous root growth throughout the full depth and volume of the plug.

Plus, this superior structure gives you the ideal water holding capacity, while at the same time, giving you excellent drainage. This means youll see easier water management... your rooting medium never gets too wet (which helps avoid diseases and pests)... and greatly helps reduce losses, especially in over-wintered crops. And because theres no net around the plug your plants roots will grow fully throughout the medium immediately after potting. The Superior Substrate Structure Increases Your Cuttings Survival Rate... Research clearly shows cuttings grown in Root Shooters produce a cleaner callous than in other mediums which means youll see fewer losses due to rotting off. Plus, more active root nodes get formed at the callous which means youll see faster and more prolific root development from the very beginning... Also, because your plants root systems are developed in the plug (and not outside of the plug) your plants will pot much quicker and are better protected against root damage, disease, and transplant shock is virtually eliminated. The Unique Design Means Less Work For You And Faster Sticking And Potting... Because the Root Shooters Plant Plugs are supplied ready-to-use, youll see up to 20% faster sticking speeds compared to other discrete plugs ... and ... theres no additional labor needed to fill or water trays unlike using loose-fill substrates. And extensive testing with the types of plants we grow and the gardens we grow them in has proven potting on speeds are much quicker than with other discrete or loose fill plugs, because the Root Shooters pull from the trays quickly, easily, and with amazing consistency.

Getting sweeter, bigger harvests is easy when you give your plants carbohydrates that jolt them with an energy boost. Remember that during peak bloom cycle your plants need for sugars exceeds their ability to manufacture them. The more you push them, the more C02 and nutrients you give them, the more they need carbs, and the more they fall behind. The resulting carb deficit is the same thing that happens when athletes collapse near the end of grueling competition. And its why carbloading is a cherished tactic athletes use to keep going strong for victory, when others fall and fail.
Not Just Any Carbohydrates, But The Right Ones For Your Plants
Carb-loading your plants requires a specialty formula. In actuality, your plants best absorb simple or complex carbohydrates when they are present as arabinose, dextrose, glucose, maltose and xylose from raw cane extract, malt extract, cranberry extract and other premium carbohydrate sources. Not only does this end mid-bloom slump but these materials fuel beneficial bacteria and fungi in your root zone. When youve installed beneficial bacteria and fungi in your root zone, they thrive best when they have externally-provided carbos to feed on (these beneficial bacteria and fungi increase root mass, increase nutrient absorption, protect roots, and produce hormones that stimulate floral size, potency and value). So you know carb-loading provides energy and root enhancement, but what can you do to create gourmet flowers with enhanced taste, size, potency, and aroma? The good news is providing the list of carb sources we just discussed also enhances the taste and aroma of your plants!
For example, you see hydroponics formulas containing molasses. But like almost every individual ingredient in hydroponics formulas, there are many grades and types of molasses, and the differences between them decide whether they will deliver your bigger, better yields. Fact is, most types of molasses are loaded with sulphur or made from materials or processes that lower their sugar content and quality. When sulphured, low-grade molasses are in a hydroponics formula, the extraneous

minerals throw off your nutrient ratios while providing smaller percentages of sugars. Now lets see how this relates to the types and forms of amino acids in hydroponics formulas ... Amino acids are crucial building blocks for proteins that fuel metabolic processes and physical structure in your flowering plants. Few hydroponics formulas contain amino acids, but almost all the ones that have aminos provide them in a form called D-Aminos. Although these aminos are cheaper to source and manufacture, they are not very helpful to your plants. On the other hand, the L-form of amino acids is totally biologically available for rapid uptake and formation of proteins that rapidly increase your crop health and yield. As with molasses and other ingredients in hydroponics formulas, it matters a lot what forms and manufacturing processes are used.

As youre aware, your plants grow by absorbing compounds from nutrients, water, and the atmosphere. These compounds become part of your plant tissues. But, as your plants age, they accumulate excess nutrient salts and other substances that decrease the quality and value of your end product. Can you recall a time when you almost coughed your lungs out? It was polluted crops that did it. At times, this accumulation is visible as over-fertilization or other crop failures. More often, it is an unseen burden infiltrating your crops from the inside out. This burden causes crops that have offensive taste and odor; crops that burn with black ash or are hard to keep lit; and crops that irritate and damage your respiratory system, causing coughing and other health issues.
Many growers try flushing their crops or they use all-organic nutrients to deal with accumulated salts that affect finished crop quality. Unfortunately, most forms of flushing, or the use of all-organic fertilizers, does not purge crops of harsh residues. For one thing, the most common way that growers flush their crops is by giving their crops water that has no nutrients in it. But this doesnt fully cleanse your crops. It only starves your plants so they lose vigorous floral growth and resin percentages just before harvest.
Your crops store excess nutrient salts that can make them taste bad, smell strange, and cure poorly. Final Phase safely flushes your crops, and its easy to use too.

Other growers use flushing formulas that generally consist of a few chemicals that sometimes have the ability to pull a limited amount of residues out of your plants. These primitive flush formulas remove plant nutrition, resulting in smaller harvests and decreased harvest potency. Not only that, but they dont provide the full-spectrum, value-enhancing cleanse youre looking for. Truth be told, the stuff that stores in your plants comes from fertilizers, water, and the atmosphere, and organic fertilizer has no crop-cleansing properties in and of itself. Fortunately, theres a better way to ensure that your harvests are crystal-pure.

Final Phase removes excess OTHER FLUSH PRODUCT BETTER THAN ANY materials better than any other flush product or using only pure water. Crops USING ONLY PURE WATER taste, look and smell better.
Final Phase is scientifically engineered to cleanse crops without causing the problems that other flushing formulas cause. Those other formulas rob your crops of their final days of flower growth and essential oil production. Final Phase cleanses, but allows plants to continue to increase floral value right up until you cut.

Now that youve flushed your plants, what can you expect from your harvest? To start with, your Final Phase crops cure better and faster, with less susceptibility to storage diseases such as molds and fungi. Youll notice that your curing crops smell better and maintain a more pleasing appearance. Better yet, essential oils and other resins will be preserved so your flower clusters are more potent. But the real test comes when you first taste your Final Phase - flushed crops. Imagine your delight when you get a smoother, sugary taste thats accompanied by enchanting scent and other highly potent effects. Thats the Final Phase difference. The key thing here is for you to get Final Phase today and update your garden calendar to remind you to use this uniquely effective formula a few days before harvest. Your friends, family and other growers will notice the positive difference you create using Final Phase.
After you have added Final Phase to your plants water supply, you continuously irrigate your plants roots for six hours to completely wash your roots and root zone with Final Phase. Then, you drain your reservoir and fill it with clean water. You do not add any nutrients or other supplements to your water supply. You just feed your plants pure water right up to harvest time. As proven by thousands of tissue samples taken from the exact type of plants you grow, this procedure results in crops that are almost totally purged of excess salts and other burdens.
Whats A Chelate And How Does It Make Your Harvests More Valuable?
How does this amazing process work to free your plants and make them more valuable? If you could see down to the molecular level, heres what youd witness: Final Phase contains a broad range of ingredients known as chelates. Chelates are like chemical claws that can grasp other materials, such as individual nutrients, and bind to them. During the course of the six-hour Final Phase cleansing, the formulas proprietary, exceptionally broad range of chelates removes excess nutrient salts, heavy metals and pollutants from your plants roots and their root zone. Some of the chelates enter your plants and create a downward mobility of excess salts that exit your plants and are washed into the Final Phase/water solution. After the Final Phase/water mixture has done its job, you remove all that water from your reservoir and refill your reservoir with fresh water. Inside your plants, from the time of flushing until harvest time, your plants are consuming on-board nutrients and otherwise purging themselves of unwanted residues.
By the time you harvest, your plants will be free of at least of your crops using Final Phase- the only crop 85% of the stored materials they held before flushing. cleanser that produces bigger harvests.

esearch shows your plants roots are the key to your yield size and potency ... yet ... the first thing you notice about most hydroponics root zones is they are biologically sterile. Nothing other than roots are alive in them. Or worse, sometimes, your root zone isnt sterile because your roots are attacked by harmful fungi, bacteria, and diseases that eat your roots and rot them ... And when you focus on your roots, you might notice that theyre bare and spindly-looking. But healthy roots actually look healthy, not like most roots youll see. Theyre muscular, intensely-branched, thickened, and robustly alive. You dont see that kind of roots very often in hydroponics gardens unless youve imported beneficial microbes into your root zone. But how do you do that?
78
Inserting beneficial microbes into your root zone is easy when you administer Tarantula to your crops, so lets look at all the good things thatll happen for your plants when you do. For example, scientists bred pseudomonas chlororaphis because its a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, or PGPR. Now heres the really interesting thing about pseudomonas and other PGPRs: they digest organic debris in your root zone by secreting compounds called cytokinins that stimulate floral production, plant health, and plant branching. These cytokinins, otherwise known as phytohormones, enter your plants and promote floral cell division, branching, and also have an anti-aging effect. Guess whatthe anti-aging affect means your flowers create more potent oils, and your plants have more vigor longer into bloom phase than they normally would.
Installing Tarantulas special breeds of beneficial microbes in your root zone pays off for you when you harvest your crops. Increase nutrient uptake and solubility of minerals Produce natural plant growth hormones Improve aeration and water-holding capacity of root zone material Increased viability of seeds, clones and transplants Enhance availability of phosphorous and increase conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to plant-available nitrogen Defeat harmful fungi, molds and bacteria
One other thing, for beneficial microbe products to be successful for you, they have to have a very high number of colony-forming units per gram. In simple language, this means that the formula should have a high number of microbes per gram. Tarantula clocks in at 1.4 billion viable bacteria per gram, making it by far the strongest of its type.

Tarantula is not outsourced. Were the only hydroponics nutrient company in the world manufacturing all our microbial products ourselves with a full-time Ph.D. microbiologist personally supervising all aspects of production at all times. (The same is true for our Piranha and VooDoo Juice products) Each microbe strain is individually bred (not in a bunch of vats or tubs) in a purpose-built 10,000 liter breeding reactor. This is a very critical, time consuming step, but its necessary because different strains of beneficial microbes breed at different rates and we have to ensure total uniformity and maximum colony forming units (CFUs). After breeding, the microbes are taken to the evaporation tower and dried, and then all the strains in Tarantula are carefully recombined. To ensure Tarantulas very long shelf life and superior viability, its microbes are put into hibernation with an antagonist compound that keeps the microbes dormant until you mix Tarantula into a nutrient reservoir and the antagonist is diluted. As soon as the antagonist is diluted, Tarantulas microbes immediately exit dormancy, replicate quickly, and burst into action for you by wrapping themselves around and penetrating into roots, creating flower-boosting hormones, and increasing root size and function.
Use Tarantula to feed carbohydrates which strengthen your beneficial microbes so they increase your root mass for even more flower-boosting power.

QUESTION: My buddy used your VooDoo, Tarantula and Piranha and said his roots got humongous. Can that be a problem? ANSWER: Your plants roots will get as big as they
can get, given the space theyre growing in. This will give you more root support for bigger yields. Bigger roots equal bigger yields. But weve never seen a case where the roots got so big that it caused problems for growers.
QUESTION: I grow all-organic in soil. Why do I still need to use beneficial microbes? ANSWER: If you could import the richest, healthiest, most undisturbed and fertile outdoor soil into your garden, youd have a rich broth of beneficial microbes. But that kind of soil will also have pathogens and insects in it, and it is usually not the right porosity or pH for your types of plants or gardening. Truth be told, most soil you buy is either biologically dead, or its diseases. So by adding the right types of beneficial microbes to your soil, you ensure that only beneficials gain dominance there.

Turn Root Zone Waste Into Faster Growth And Bigger Yields
First of all, enzymes are molecules that take apart other molecules, a fact that can get you faster growth and bigger yields ... You see, if you were growing outdoors in the healthiest, most fertile soil, your plants roots would be surrounded by billions of beneficial microbes that manufacture enzymes. These enzymes are constantly breaking down dead roots, other organic matter, and unused nutrients. They transform them into materials that your plants use for fuel to make faster growth and bigger yields. Rich enzymes in the root zone are one main reason outdoor plants get so huge and productive ... but ... you cant just use any enzymes. You have to give your root zone the most powerfully appropriate enzymes for the job. Specifically, the most useful enzymes are chitinases, proteases,

You should know a lot of hydroponics companies take shortcuts that short circuit the value of enzymes. Instead of using the precise types and ratios of enzymes that have been shown to work the hardest and fastest in your root zone, some companies outsource their manufacturing so they dont know whats in their enzyme products. Because when you want to deliver a guaranteed effective enzyme formula to gardeners, you have to get enzymes that have been specially extracted in professional bioengineering laboratories ... Scientists in these labs grow huge amounts of beneficial soil microbes (the kind that manufacture the enzymes your plants need), and then they ferment those microbes to get concentrated doses of enzymes. After that, the enzymes are tested individually and together to ensure that they have maximum shelf life, viability and effectiveness in the root zone. Sometimes our scientists found that an individual enzyme might not work so well with other enzymes, or that a particular enzyme just cannot be kept active in solution. They also discover the optimum pH and liquid viscosity that works to preserve the bioactivity of enzymes for long periods of time.

Of course, there are other considerations. Our scientists are aware of the pH and temperature of nutrient water in your hydroponics garden. They make sure that Sensizyms enzymes function are at full strength in your range of pH and temperature.
To be honest, I have no idea what an enzyme is or what it does. I bought this because the hydro store guy said to when I was having problems with root rot. Well I dont have the root rot problems anymore and I also see that Sensizym made the plants bushier. So I think this is a great product for sure.

By the way, its interesting to note that Sensizym enzymes and beneficial microbes work together to provide additional benefits in your root zone. For example, when Sensizyms enzymes break down material into sugars, beneficial microbes eat the sugars, creating more enzymes, larger root mass, hormones that boost flowers, and increased root uptake of nutrients.
Now Save Money On Rockwool, Coco, Or Whatever Else Youre Using For Your Root Zone
The bottom line is: theres now an easy way for you to enhance your roots, put more nutrition into your plants, protect your roots, boost floral growth, deprive harmful pathogens of food, and clean your root zone. As you prepare to get 100% organic Sensizym and bring all these benefits into your garden, theres one other interesting fact that growers have discovered using Sensizym. According to what were told by growers, and confirmed by gardeners as well as plant scientists, Sensizym does such a good job of decomposing root zone debris that you can reuse root zone media such as rockwool and coco coir. This saves you money and time, because you dont have to buy root zone material as often. You dont have to buy it and then pre-treat it as often. Nor do you have to dispose of it as often. So get yourself Sensizym and give yourself the root zone benefits that translate into safer, fastergrowing, higher-yielding plants. When you go to your store to get your enzyme formula, rest assured that Sensizym is the only one with such a broad range of bioactive, concentrated enzymes specifically researched and found to be perfect for your root zone.
Before I used Sensizym I had to throw out my rockwool slabs after every crop. It cost me money and was messy. Now I can use the slabs for three or more crop cycles. The money I saved is going to LED lights.

FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS
QUESTION: I definitely want to reuse my rockwool, so how do I do it?
ANSWER: Use Sensizym throughout bloom phase. Make sure you do a Final Phase flush before harvest. After harvest, flush your rockwool thoroughly, and go through it to ensure that no large pieces of root or other material are still present. Keep the medium pH balanced and apply Sensizym for a few more days. Then let the medium dry to the regular wetness thats optimum for your plants, and reuse the material. QUESTION: I went to the hydro store to get Sensizym. The salesman said that it had been on his shelf about 3 months. He said that he would not recommend other enzyme products if they had been in the store more than a couple weeks. So how long is yours going to last on the shelf?

Look around at the ground outdoors and youre seeing an important element that protects and strengthens your plants when you supply it in your hydroponics garden. That element is silica, which is the second most abundant element in the earths crust (oxygen is the most prevalent) ... but the problem is ... Silica is missing from hydroponics root zones and fertilizers. Your plants desperately need silica. They evolved to intake it so it becomes part of their cell walls. Thats important because cells are the building blocks of your plants and cell walls are the structural features that determine the strength of your plants stems, leaves, flowers, floral structures and metabolism. Not only do your plants accumulate silicon to build their cells, they also store it as protection and foundational support between cells. In fact, your plants contain as much as 10% of their weight as silica. The problem is silica isnt supplied at all in most hydroponics fertilizers or root zone media, and even if it is, it usually isnt the right type or amount of silica to maximize silicas benefits as a crop protector and potency enhancer.
Your plants are protected from your roots all the way up to your flower tops so you can rest assured that your valuable plants are safe.
by your plants and built into their structures. Also, be aware that once your plants have absorbed all the silica present in soil or whatever else youre growing in, they of course wont be able to absorb any more because there isnt any more for them to absorb even though they have a constant need for more silica especially during peak bloom phase. What Im explaining is that plants intake silica, make it part of their structure, and then they need more when they build new structures. When is this most important? Number one, the right silica is great for your plants when theyre in veg phase building the structure your branches will need if theyre going to be able to handle huge floral clusters in bloom phase. Number two, silica is a sweet treat for your plants during peak bloom phase when flowers are swelling up overnight, fattening, ripening and adding trichomes. Now lets explore the proven connection between silica and increased potency for your crops.

It's true that calcium and magnesium both occur naturally in coco coir. But the amounts of each aren't sufficient to feed your plants. Not only that, but calcium and magnesium are both naturally attracted to bind to coco coir! Which means only the highest quality, chelated forms of magnesium and calcium (like the kind used in Advanced Nutrients' products) are able to succeed in a growing environment that uses coco coir. Lesser forms of either will bind to the coir and your plants will be left hungry!
That's why our calcium and magnesium supplement, Sensi-Cal, has performed so well. It was designed to operate in a less-than-ideal environment and bring everything up to speed. It's also true that if a hydroponic nutrient or supplement doesn't account for the levels of potassium already present in coco coir, you risk potassium toxicity.
And if your nutrients don't use chelated magnesium and calcium, you're missing out on better yields. (A lot of
inferior brands will try to add dolomite lime as a quick-fix to solve this problem, but don't be fooled... it's not effective.)

pH Manifesto
Your Buried Treasure of pH Growing Secrets
One of the biggest misconceptions in hydroponics growing is that the pH in your nutrient reservoir is the single biggest thing having to do with pH that affects the outcome of your crops. Well, its simply not true. Its actually the pH and alkalinity of three things: technical here, but not too much. So lets take a journey and uncover the really important points about pH so that we can leverage it to get you bigger yields.
1. YOUR WATER. 2. GROWING MEDIUM. 3. NUTRIENTS. Unfortunately, this circle of big bud getting power isnt talked about, and its responsible for more growers silently losing loads of buds and quality they werent even aware of. Let me explain...were going to have to get a little
117
Almost all the world champion growers who Ive talked to have powerfully harnessed and utilized the synergistic punch that the circle of big bud getting power delivers to their prize winning crops. This report will show you how to start putting it to work for you immediately.
or nutrient solution is alkaline, also referred to as base or basic (above a pH of 7.0) it contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.
And these hydrogen and hydroxide ions interact with each other and perform a balancing act of sorts that determines the pH in your water, growing medium and nutrients.
Dont Sweat It
Wow thats a lot of stuff, but its important you understand all this because its one of the keys to you getting bigger and better yields. Anyway, these hydrogen and hydroxide ions are also in the elements that make up our macro and micro nutrients of the nutrient solutions we use to grow our plants with. And because of this the elements that make up our macro and micro nutrients are classified into two distinct groups. One group of elements are called cations and contains more hydrogen ions. The other group of elements are called anions and contain more hydroxide ions. Also our growing medium pH is dramatically affected by these cations and anions contained in the macro, micro and secondary nutrient elements we use. Remember this because its important and well be referring back to this in the growing medium and nutrients sections.
Shown here is a pH scale a reading below pH 7.0 is considered acidic and a reading above is considered alkaline. A pH of 7.0 is said to be a neutral pH, further in this report youll find that is not exactly true. Also some common products are given for pH reference points.
And the best part, it will absolutely give you bigger more consistent and higher quality yields when fully understood and implemented. So lets explore this circle of power a little deeper...
Your Water
Misconceptions About Your Nutrient Solutions pH
Like I mentioned earlier, the most common misconception is that the pH of your nutrients is the most important factor that will drive your plants ability to give you bigger yields. You would think that your biggest concern would be about the pH in your reservoir. This is just not true.
You should be more concerned with your waters alkalinity. This is one of the major culprits that will affect your yields. In fact, one of the biggest problems with water is its alkalinity. This is something that must be taken care of if you really want to easily manage the pH of your nutrients and growing medium and get those bigger crops.
One of the critical elements of successful growing is the precise balancing act of your hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions and having total control over them at all times in your water, growing medium and nutrients.
Unfortunately, more growers money goes down the drain every single day and its not your fault because of the lack of information that has been given to us. Oh sure the PhDs know this stuff but theyre not putting it out to us in plain English. And no hydro books have covered all this in great depth. And quite frankly I find that puzzling. Because the importance of water, nutrients and growing mediums all working together will absolutely give all of us bigger yields.
Field Crop Pumping Station Heres one of the critical steps farmers who grow field crops that are irrigated take to ensure they get the best harvests possible. To do this they inject acid directly into irrigation lines to neutralize their source waters alkalinity. Then depending on the desired pH of their growing soil they will use a cation rich fertilizer to bring the soils pH down or a anion rich fertilizer to raise their soils pH. The field pumping station above also filters the source water.
119
When the amount of alkalinity in your source water hasnt been measured and is then used to mix your nutrient solution - even with a properly pH balanced nutrient reservoir - your plants can suffer from a continuous build up of alkalinity that will silently sneak up on you and quickly raise your growing mediums pH, locking out your plants vital elements, and hijacking you from your crops true harvest potential.
In fact, farmers who have to irrigate their field crops and have alkalinity in their water supply have to continuously inject different types of acids - depending on what the farmer is trying accomplish with the crop and soil - into their irrigation lines to counter balance their alkalinity. An easy way to think of alkalinity is pH up. Unfortunately a very bad form of pH up. Once alkalinity is neutralized, fertilizer is then injected into the lines. Heres something to think about, depending on what crop is being grown, the fertilizer being injected will be balanced with the correct cation to anion ratios for that crops soil pH requirement. If they need to lower their soils pH theyll use a fertilizer that has more cations than anions. And if they need to raise the soils pH they will use a fertilizer with more anions than cations. Well go over this more in the nutrient section.
120
And then theres the subject of water hardness. Shouldnt you be concerned about that? Well, Its important not to confuse water hardness with the alkalinity of water. These are two different things.
Using a water softener to handle the hardness will only displace the calcium and magnesium ions and leave the carbonates and bicarbonates behind, which doesnt change the alkalinity at all. So this is not the thing to do. And a BIG WARNING, using a water softener will add unwanted sodium to your water severely decreasing your yields. If youre using well water it is almost guaranteed you will have alkalinity problems. In fact most municipalities have water that is poor quality and has alkalinity. I have personally seen municipal water thats 900 PPM and chocked full of alkalinity. Heres the thing, if your water is 30 PPM or below youre safe. And Ive seen city water that has less than 10 PPM, Vancouver, Canada being one of them. Anything over 30 PPM and you should invest in a reverse osmosis system.
Hach Alkalinity Meter- Shown here is the Hach digital alkalinity meter its used to check for the harvest robbing alkalinity of your source water. It costs a couple hundred dollars, for the same price you can go out and buy a reverse osmosis system and not have to worry about your waters alkalinity.
Now, you can get a digital meter for about $200 at www.hach.com. But if you want to go easier on the pocketbook, there are kits as cheap as $30 to $40. And you should get one that uses titration which is actually the most accurate method of testing.
Potassium Carbonate Calcium and Potassium Carbonate are a major contributor to alkalinity that will steadily raise your pH in your growing medium.
121
RO System Wall Mount And Commercial Units- Pictured on the left is a typical wall mount unit that will produce around 25-50 gallons per day. On the right is a commercial system that produces 200 to 500 gallons per day. WARNING: When you get your RO system DO NOT get a water softener with them, because they will put unwanted sodium into your nutrient solution and substantially cut down on your yields.
An assortment of different manufacturers EC meters- EC meters are made to measure fertilizer solutions. TDS meters measure total dissolved solids and were originally designed to check drinking water not nutrients.
122
Float Valve System Diagram Of RO Storage And Reservoir Pictured above: is a tank mount float valve shut off set up. Reverse osmosis systems are priced and rated by how many gallons or liters of water they produce in a 24 hour period. Because of this a lot of growers run theirs 24 hours a day into a separate reservoir. So to avoid over flowing your reverse osmosis water reservoir a float valve shut off should be installed.
to your water. The temperature is important as well. Cooler water holds more oxygen as well as affects your pH level, but if it is too cold, it will cause your pH to rise, and if too warm, it will cause it to go down. Heres a little known fact, excessively high water temperatures above 79F or 26 C start to negatively impact your plants ability to absorb macro nutrients. High temperatures also encourage fungal and bacterial diseases, and you dont want that either. In fact, it is best to maintain a nutrient reservoir temperature of 65F or 18C to 69F or 20C. And colder water holds a lot more oxygen. And heres another fact, scientists who study our oceans consider warm tropic waters to be the deserts of the oceans because they contain way less life than the colder waters of the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that are teeming with life because of the colder water temperatures holding more oxygen. In the end if you want bigger yields go out and buy a reverse osmosis system it will be some of the best money youll ever invest in your grow room.
Your plants roots are actually pH producing machines creating either hydrogen ions (pH down) or hydroxide ions (pH up) depending on whether the roots are taking in elements that are mostly cations or anions.
All my labs grow rooms use reverse osmosis water. In fact its so important all Advanced Nutrients products are made with ultra pure zero PPM and zero alkalinity reverse osmosis water. OK, lets explore your growing medium A lot has been said about measuring pH in the nutrient solution, but where the real money is being won or lost by the buckets full, is in the actual growing medium itself. Heres why... your plants root system is actually a pH excreting machine that manufactures and pumps hydrogen ions (pH down) or hydroxide ions (pH up) directly into your growing medium and will directly change the pH of the growing medium depending on the elemental composition of your nutrients make up. And you can imagine how having a thorough understanding of this is going to give you even more control over your plants that will lead to bigger yields, right?
124
Heres the typical pH absorption range of non chelated elements in soil and hydroponics.
Sure, the water, the growing medium, and the nutrients should all have to work in perfect harmony with each other, but its the roots in the growing medium that drives the pH chemical reactions that is the most overlooked by growers and its not your fault its just most books out there dont go into great depth about it. And naturally this is very important because, the pH in the root zone is going to determine the availability of nutrients and your plants ability to produce world class buds. And we all want to grow kick ass buds, dont we?
125
What are you really feeding your plants? Your plants macro, micro and secondary nutrients are really a lot like the foods you eat. Think about it, are all sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats you eat the same? No theyre not. And its exactly the same for your plants food it eats. Your plants are what they eat.
your insulin while others are a slow burn and give you sustained energy. What about fats? Some are actually good for you like Omega-3 and others will slowly clog your arteries and eventually give you a heart attack. Obviously it all makes a difference. And in the nutrient section well take a look at this in depth.
Perlite
Rock Wool
Sphagnum Moss
fertilizers. The thing about different hydroponic mediums is that they have varied abilities to maintain and control pH.
Coco Coir
Sunshine #4 Mix
These are the cation exchange capacities of different soil structures at pH 7.0. You can clearly see how important the addition of humus is to your soil and growing mediums ability to hold a stable pH. You can easily build more humus structure in your soil and growing mediums by adding humic and fulvic acids to them. As an aside, if youre an outdoor grower you can now see the importance of growing in soils with high humus values because it will definitely make a difference in getting you bigger yields.
128
Calcined Clay
All you need to do is add is 5% 7% to your sphagnum growing media. And what is calcined clay? Well, this is clay that has been heated to drive out volatile materials. One word of caution though. Make sure you use a low sodium source of calcined clay because you dont want extra sodium in your growing medium.
and this would be a near perfect medium for growing your plants. Sunshine #4 also contains a wetting agent (surfactant) to ease surface tension and allow for better initial water penetration to the growing medium.
Calcined Clay Calcined Clay can be added to sphagnum moss and coco coir growing mediums to increase its (CEC) cation exchange capacity so your growing medium will have a much more stable pH.
Now what about low CEC growing mediums? Some hydroponic mediums that we use, such as rock wool, expanded clay pellets or perlite, have a low CEC and so they have a hard time stabilizing the pH. We call them pH dependent and, you probably have already guessed by now, you will need to correct the pH more often. How about the Sunshine #4 mix that we mentioned earlier? Actually this is a very, very good medium. When it comes out of bogs, it has a pH of 3.5 to 4. This is actually too low, so dolomite lime is added to it to raise the pH. (Well talk about adding dolomite a bit later.) This brings the pH of the Sunshine #4 to 5.8 to 6.3 for a 6 week period.
More About Sunshine #4 And How It Can Make Your Life A Lot Easier
So whats Sunshine #4 mix made of? Its made of 60% 70% peat and 30% 40% perlite. This is the combination you want and gives you excellent aeration which youll need for great big thick root development. And as hundreds of university studies have conclusively shown the bigger the root system the bigger the yield. And thats what were after isnt it. BIGGER YIELDS. It also has a starter charge of fertilizer that gives it an NPK ratio of 6-5-11 meaning it has a ratio of 6% nitrogen (N), 5% phosphorous (P) and 11% potassium (K). All you have to do, then, is add a bit more nitrogen to the mix
129
Nutrients. However Advanced Nutrients doesnt make a specific coco nutrient yet. Coco coir also has a lot of potassium so youll need to use a fertilizer with reduced potassium so you dont end up with potassium toxicity. There is one other thing to be aware of: low quality coconut husks are often soaked in salt water as part of the manufacturing process to break down the husks and quite often not properly flushed by the coir manufacturer overseas. Youll need to make sure that the extra salt is flushed out of your medium with water by either yourself or the manufacturer youre buying it from before using it.
You dont want to take your growing mediums pH readings from the top third of your container because there usually isnt enough root activity there. Instead take your readings from the bottom two thirds of your growing medium where the most root growing activity is to ensure an accurate reading.
130
pH Meter With Soil Probe This is a very good growing medium pH meter to use when youre checking your growing mediums pH.
Laboratory Grade pH And EC Meters- Here are high end laboratory grade EC, pH meters and probes that cost from several hundred to over a thousand dollars.
Now, dont take the sample from the top third of the container, heres why. There isnt as much root growing activity at the top of the soil. So use the bottom two thirds of your growing medium to take your pH readings because that is the active zone for root growth.
Theres another reason for taking the samples near the bottom of your container, and thats because nutrients will tend to crystallize near the top and can precipitate out a little bit and will give you a false reading.
Using pH Meters
So now, we should look at the meters we need to measure the pH. There are so many different pH meters available, but get one that uses dual solution to calibrate your pH meter. Its a good idea to get one that auto adjusts and has ATC (automatic temperature compensation). This will be more expensive but worth it. The cheaper ones are a pain to use while the auto-adjust ones calibrate at a press of a button, which makes it a lot easier. You want to make sure that calibration is done every week. If youre fanatic to detail like I am youll want to have a pH meter with ATC because as your nutrient solution temperature changes so does the pH of your nutrients when your nutrient temperature gets warmer your pH goes down and when your nutrient temperature gets cooler your nutrient solution pH goes up. Heres an interesting side note, a pH of 7 is considered to be pH neutral, but in fact is only an approximation and is accurate only at 25 C or 77F. A true neutral pH is when the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) is exactly the same as the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH- ) and those concentrations are effected by temperature so your pH neutral point varies from pH 7.47 at 0C or 32F to pH 6.14 at 100C or 212F.
pH Temperature Chart Contrary to popular belief a pH of 7.0 is not always neutral, in fact it really depends on the temperature of your nutrient solution as the chart above shows. Thats why its critical to make sure you buy a pH meter that compensates for temperature.

Microbe Circle Diagram Showing Daytime H+ Nighttime OHBeneficial microbes release hydrogen ions (pH down) during your light cycle and hydroxide ions (pH up) during your dark cycle.
(65F or 18C to 75F or 23C) so it will encourage active growth of beneficial microbes. This will help to keep your pH stable, and your growing medium more acidic.
A Valuable Secret!
Here goes... Im going to reveal something Ive never told anyone before. And Im sure its going to give my competitors something to start researching into. Advanced Nutrients beneficial bacteria products have microbial interaction with each other thats balanced in a way that assists your growing medium in holding its pH. And heres something else you may find interesting. Advanced Nutrients is the only hydroponic nutrient company to breed and produce their own beneficial microbes in house.
133
By hunting down and selecting specific beneficial microbes Advanced Nutrients can now select microbes that either give off equal amounts of hydrogen ions (pH down) and hydroxide ions (pH up) or more hydrogen ions (pH down) or more hydroxide ions (pH up) in a 24HR period. Obviously the importance of this is significant because we can now use these to help you control your growing mediums pH.
134
Calcium Hydroxide
Limestone Screenings
Dolomite
Calcitic Limestone
Pictured above are the different types of limestone its important to be aware of which type youre using because they all have different release rates.
Adding Limestone
Earlier I mentioned adding limestone or lime. When you have a medium that is too acidic, you have to add something to bring it up into a better range. For example, you will find that sphagnum (pH of 3.5 to 4.0) is very acidic to use as a medium. So youll want to use limestone to neutralize this acid and raise the pH to a level acceptable for plant growth. The amount needed depends on different factors such as sphagnum sources, types of ingredients, and limestone type. Another thing, when limestone is added to your growing medium, only a fraction of the lime reacts to increase the pH to a stable level in 5 to 10 days after planting. And this is called the reactive fraction. So what happens to the rest that doesnt react? Well, this is called un-reacted or residual limestone,
135
and it affects the long-term buffering capacity of your growing medium. It is the residual limestone that you want to measure regularly in order to test how good your limestone source is. Actually, each limestone source is different, so there is no way to determine the residual fraction except to test it. There is also a variance in the limestone you get depending on what part of the quarry it comes from. You will find a variance in pH with sphagnum moss as well, depending on what part of the bog it is harvested from and what time of year or even what year.
Hardness is the third important feature of limestone. A soft crystal reacts more quickly with acid than a hard crystal. Of course, there is no real way to tell if the limestone being used is soft or hard except by testing it. You have to add it to your growing medium and raise the pH to 5.3 6.8 and observe what happens. You can conduct a test for determining the reactivity of your limestone by adding 4 to 6 pounds of limestone per cubic yard of growing medium. If this adequately brings the pH up to 6.0, you know that the limestone is reactive, and there is little residual left once a stable pH is reached. Needing to add 8 12 pounds of limestone indicates the limestone is moderately reactive. Adding more than 15 pounds per cubic yard indicates an un-reactive limestone and that is not good.
Hardness
Limestone Types
In dealing with limestone type you actually have two choices: 1. Calcitic which is straight calcium carbonate.
2. Dolomite which is a combination of calcium and magnesium carbonate. I do not recommend Calcitic limestone as your optimum choice because it releases too fast and usually raises the medium pH too high. Dolomite is slower and doesnt do that, so it is a better choice. With dolomite you get a more even pH and buffering over a longer period of time. Just remember that different sources of dolomite will give you different reaction fractions or percentages of the limestone. The only way to really ensure you have the dolomite lime with the right residual balance and the right reactive component to it is to test it by doing the following:
l l l l
After placing the medium in pots, irrigate with tap water avoiding any leaching to take place. Reapply the water daily as needed to keep the medium moist. Measure the pH at days 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21. Plot your results on a graph. You should see the pH stabilize after some time and see what the final pH was as well as how long it took to stabilize.
Now that we looked at limestone type, lets look at particle size. Particle size also makes a difference in how reactive the limestone is. The finer the particle size is, the more reactive the limestone is. Just so youre aware, limestone is sold in mesh sizes. The higher the mesh size, the finer the particle size.
Particle Size
136
If you use Sunshine #4 growing mix, you dont want to add limestone as it already has sufficient limestone in it, and adding more will increase your growing mediums pH. Be careful...if youve been using limestone in your Sunshine #4 mix you might end up with your pH going high. You might even cause your nutrient elements locking out in the growing medium. However, if you use fully chelated macro, micro and secondary nutrients, this wont happen. We will talk about chelates in a bit. Many of the nutrient companies dont bother with using any chelates and the ones that do usually only chelate the iron and manganese. Properly chelating nutrients is an expensive endeavor. And the lack of proper chelation is likely costing you bigger yields, and you end up having to monitor your nutrients and growing medium continually to get the right pH.
Pictured above are urea and nitrate molecules. When properly used together they will help balance your growing mediums pH. Plus, will give you more robust thicker stalk plants and bigger yields. Plus, urea is also a great food source for your beneficial microbes.
Heres the bottom line: you have to be interested in your growing mediums pH and make sure its clean if youre going to re-use it to grow your plants. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to grow a consistently high-yielding, high-quality crop. If you dont want to invest the time and money in this project, youll be better off to go to your hydro store and get new growing medium for each crop.
Shown above are the different outcomes that your nutrients will have depending how their cation and anions are balanced when formulated. When done right, they will work in your favor and give you a great crop. When done wrong youll find yourself battling constantly with your nutrient solutions pH. Worse yet, your growing mediums pH will be on the rise. And if youve never measured your growing mediums pH you would never be aware of this yield reducing trap thats been silently stealing your crops true harvest potential.
Your Nutrients
And of course, thats something Advanced Nutrients does. Cations include potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, cobalt, manganese, iron and ammonium. Anions include nitrates, phosphates, sulfates, carbonates, bicarbonates. And different forms of these elements carry different amounts of anions and cations.
When you get it right your plants will have nice vibrant green leaves.
Too much nitrates as a source of nitrogen will give shorter petioles, smaller leaves and thinner stems that wont be able to support heavy flower weight.
To make matters worse, we found that as nutrients move away from your plants ideal ratios and element forms, yield and essential oil production rapidly deteriorate. For example, when you feed your plants with ammonium nitrogen you will get a greater petiole leaf expansion. But fertilizing with too much nitrate nitrogen will give you shorter petioles, smaller leaves and thinner stems making it difficult to pack on a lot a weight because your plants can sense whether they have the proper support to grow bigger flowers.
Urea also makes great microbial food and beneficial microbes love urea. The combination of urea and nitrates actually makes for a bigger, more vigorous growing plant and increases your crop yield. And yes, I just gave up another inside secret. Remember, when your plants roots take in elements that are cations they excrete acid molecules into your growing medium. And when your plant roots take in anions they excrete alkaline molecules into your growing medium.
140
soils are very diverse not only in the macro, micro and secondary nutrients they hold, but also in their availability, as well as the soils pH . However thats not all, soil has a high cation exchange capacity, so companies also wouldnt - if they chose to have to use as much if any pH buffer. Bottom line is... saving a few bucks per bottle for them is more important than building a sound and sturdy nutrient platform that delivers to you, one high quality formula built right from the get-go, so to speak, for both hydroponics or soil. And with that being said, Advanced Nutrients base nutrients can be used in all hydroponics including rockwool, expanded clay pellets, perlite, volcanic rock, foam, styrene, sphagnum or soil growing mediums, and any combination of those, its totally your choice. The only growing medium the base nutrients are not made for, at this time, is coco coir. That requires a totally separate base nutrient and bud enhancer. Even better, all Advanced Nutrients base nutrients and supplements can be used in any and all growing systems like flood and drain, nft, drip irrigation, continuous feeding and aeroponics. And while were at it, almost all Advanced Nutrients supplements can be used in all your growing mediums including coco coir. Just look for the coco coir safe emblem on your supplement bottle or jar.
Alkalinity can run out of control faster than speeding bullet in your growing medium and severely reduce your harvest, or worse, in extreme cases kill your crop.
Some nutrient companies save a few bucks per bottle, by selling separate soil formulas instead of an-all-one high quality hydroponics and soil nutrient.
Pictured are various stand alone pH and EC meters and combo meters that do both pH and EC at the lower to medium end of the price scale.
Balancing Your pH
When adjusting your reservoirs nutrients to adjust your pH. For example, potassium hydroxide (also called caustic potash) can be used to raise your pH up. Use nitric and phosphoric acid to lower your pH down. You can use nitric acid in your vegetative cycle because it will add nitrogen to your crop and phosphoric acid in your flowering cycle because it will add phosphorus. And guess what? Personally I prefer to use nitric acid in my flowering cycle because tissue samples have shown your favorite plant doesnt use a whole lot of phosphorus during flowering. In fact, in most cases nitrogen use increases. If youre looking for organic forms of pH down you can use citric acid to bring the pH down. This you can get at a vitamin store; just make sure that it is a really pure type of citric acid. You can even use vinegar (acetic acid) but the acetic acid varies in different vinegars so you have to be a bit more careful and watch what goes on. For this reason, citric acid is the preferred acid to use.
but a lot of nutrient companies use magnesium, calcium and potassium carbonate or bicarbonate as their pH buffers. This is absolutely not a good idea. Heres why: remember that carbonates and bicarbonates are anions and add to the alkalinity of your nutrient solution and growing medium, and even though they might buffer the pH a bit, these down and dirty pH buffers will cause your growing mediums pH to accelerate up. Vitally important last and final point: Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium, using these carbonates and bicarbonates will actually diminish your crops yield potential. So check out whats in the nutrients youre using and see if theyre using any magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, potassium carbonate, bicarbonates or worse, a combination of them. For all these reasons, Advanced Nutrients wont use them, period. Instead we invest our money in pH buffers that give you rock solid stability over your nutrient and growing mediums pH while never adding alkalinity in any way that will diminish the size of your harvest.
They do this by binding them to ions, and this prevents those ions from precipitating or locking out with other elements. You can use different chelates to lower and raise the pH level as well, depending on what you need. So Pictured is a simplified version of the whole activity is the way chelates bind to elemental another balancing ions. act. Adding chelates to the mix makes it easier for the plants roots to absorb the macro, micro and secondary nutrients that it needs. There are several advantages of using chelates :

DPTA
EDTA
It increases availability of nutrients. Mineral nutrients are prevented from forming insoluble precipitates. Toxicity is reduced of some metal ions to plants. It prevents nutrients from leaching. The mobility of plant nutrients increases. It suppresses the growth of plant pathogens. When formulated correctly can help stabilize pH.

Adding Chelates
OK, so lets take an in depth look at chelates. What are they, anyways? Well, chelates are complex organic molecules used to allow the micro, macro and secondary nutrients to remain available to the plant over a wider pH range.

Advanced Nutrients micronutrients are 100% chelated, and our macro and secondary nutrients are chelated as well (although not as much as the micro nutrients because its not as critical). This makes them more available to the plant over an extremely wide pH range.
The chart on the left shows the absorption range of typical non chelated macro, micro and secondary nutrients. The chart on the right shows the absorption range of Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect macro, micro and secondary nutrients. The only limit to absorption is the ability of the plants root system to keep growing its roots faster than they burn back from extreme pH levels. Typically those extremes are around pH 2.5 and pH 9.5.
The chelates that we use in your nutrients are EDTA, EDDHA, DPTA, Amino chelates and our own proprietary blend. And together they will give you a theoretical plant absorption range of pH 1 to pH 10. I say theoretical because at pH 2.5 the roots are being burned up faster than the plant can produce them and the same thing happens at pH 9.5 And most other nutrient formulas will start to precipitate and lock out at a pH of 6.8, at that pH, precipitation is microscopic and easily stays in suspension and usually cant be seen with the naked eye. And its not until a pH of 7.5 to 8 you can visibly see it. Then at the other end of spectrum at pH 5, iron and manganese start to become way more available and can lead to plant toxicity. You wont have to worry about any of this with Advanced Nutrient products because of all the chelates that are used. You can plainly see that without chelation your plants ability to absorb nutrients is placed in a very narrow pH range. And constant pH adjusting and monitoring will be required.
pH 4.5 NON-CHELATED
pH 8.5 NON-CHELATED
pH 4.5 CHELATED
pH 8.5 CHELATED
The tanks on the left show precipitation at pH 4.5 and pH 8.5 of typical hydroponics nutrients. The picture on the right shows Advanced Nutrients chelated nutrients at pH 4.5 and pH 8.5.

This is what healthy roots should look like. With the exception of using organic formulas, which will usually stain your healthy roots with a brownish tint.
Advanced Nutrients extensive use of chelates powerfully protects your crop with a second layer of pH protection and Advanced Nutrients is the only hydroponics company to do this and obviously goes to great lengths and expense to ensure you get the bigger yields you deserve.
The light was already green in front of us and the moment the car was in a straight line all hell broke loose the engine came alive, the tires hooked up and the sound of it all shattered the quiet of the still night air, echoing and reverberating off the store windows like intense thunder in a canyon of glass. I was pinned to the seat as if a powerful magnetic pull had gripped onto every cell in my body and firmly held it into the seat. I glanced over and saw how effectively the Hurst straight line shifter was making quick work of changing gears. And I was amazed how he deftly squeezed every last RPM out of top end of every gear. By the time I looked forward again we were already coming out of third gear and into fourth gear. I couldnt believe what I was seeing, the interval lines on the road had all become a solid stripe and vision off to my sides became blurred while my frontal vision became razor sharp and all my senses were lit up like Las Vegas at night and sensory overload was setting in. Just then the run was over.

He eased off the gas and just as quickly brought the car back down to a somewhat normal speed. I turned to Allan after we got done running that car through the gears and my ears had a chance to adjust from the roaring thunder. I asked him why his car was so fast. I asked him, was it because he had a triangular valve job, was it the headers, the dual Holley double pumpers on the high lift manifold, 12 to 1 compression pistons? The Muncie Rock Crusher transmission? Was it the ported and polished heads? The 4:11 posi traction rear end with traction bars? The roller cams? He stopped me mid sentence and said words I would carry with me for the rest of my life, and has served me well. He looked at me and said Mike its all of it, and a whole lot more things than youve mentioned. You see it all matters a lot of guys think they can go out and do just
a few of those things to their cars and run hard. But what happens is when they do just a few of those things, theres something they dont realize and understand, it effects something else that they didnt think about, and then something snaps or limits their performance. When I built this car, I looked at everything and went through the entire car, and then built up each system. Thats why I dont get beat. Little did I realize on that warm summer evening that a street racer had just handed me one of my keys to life that would open many doors. For whatever reason those words have stuck with me it all matters and throughout my life Ive always put those words to good use. Talk Soon :-) BigMike
It was in a Chevy Nova similar to this one that I discovered from a street racer, one of my lifes important lessons. One that I would take with me for the rest of my life.
