Had a terrible experience with advanced nutes....

[yota]

I have been having crazy high PH levels and problems in my res and thought for the longest time that it was my water. I had my water tested etc, and it turned out to be pretty good water. That confused me even more. Then my local hydro store guy tells me advanced nutrients recalled some of its products including the one i was using - Monkey Juice! I checked out my monkey juice and The Bloom A smelled like puke, and had chunks in it. The Grow B (i think) smelled nasty also and had some solid stuff in it looking like mold puss pockets. NASTY!

 

So needless to say, they replaced my nutes and i went with Optimum brand.

anyone had any experience with this nute? Or has anyone heard of such things happening to advanced products?

i got the AN sensi AB and seems 2 be no probs with my batch.....If they replaced it why did ya get different brand hehehe

they dont usually have what you described,oh well better luck next time.

they gave me a different kind because the guy said it was a good one, and he gave me a bunch of it.

this is probably a stupid question, but did you try using pH down?

[yota]

yes i used a ton of it. Thats the problem, the Ph never would stabilize, the nutes were defective.

i had a problem with a specially designed nutrient for rockwool that had ph fluctuations i think the bottles were old stock took it back bloke changed it i'd say just stick to the nutes that everyone else uses and u wont have any problems

[loylty gets u nothing]

no

never had any dramas with advanced nutes

actually have some bottles over 2 yrs old that are still good

 

i used to use optimimum about 5 yrs ago

found it a good all round nute

but wen i went to get more yrs ago

suddenly the opinion was it was shite..

i never had any dramas with it and itll do u well for perlite imho

all the best

I just finished a bottle of Bloom A that ended up with chunks in it. I just shook it and used it - didn't seem to do anything though.

 

I'm finding them fantastic nutes and additives - I have excellent PH control 5.6 - 6.0 always. The res even mixes to 5.7 without any ph adjuster.

 

Probably just bad luck - hope the Op works well for ya,
