Advanced Nutrients – hydroponic fertilisers with pH control
This time, we will focus in more detail primarily on the unmistakable hydroponic fertilisers. We will introduce the individual product ranges from Advanced Nutrients, so that you can get an overview of which products in their original, eye-catching design are suitable for whom. If you are devoted to growing herbs, fruit or vegetables, and it matters to you that the value of the final harvest is as high as possible, this American brand with a tradition dating back to 1999, producing both organomineral and purely organic fertilisers, will undoubtedly catch your attention. Proof of this is, for example, the patented pH perfect technology!
Advanced Nutrients fertilisers have been the number one choice for many hydroponics enthusiasts for many years. Internet forums and discussions often contain reports from enthusiastic growers boasting about their “mega yields”, which they achieved precisely with plant nutrition from Advanced Nutrients. It should be added that our customers’ reactions are in the same spirit. Products from Advanced Nutrients, as one of the most popular brands of hydroponic fertilisers on the market, were so revolutionary from the outset that they even appeared in magazines such as Forbes or Playboy. In addition, they were very favourably reviewed and featured in leading hydroponic magazines worldwide. At the same time, the company prides itself on continuously investing over the years in development, or rather upgrading products based on the latest scientific findings.
Intensive scientific research and ingredients of the highest quality
The brand’s long-term global success is therefore largely due to a team of scientists who start from the fact that different plants have specific needs. It is not just a general stage, because strict testing of the composition of individual products led to the discovery of entirely new plant needs, which, once we meet them through a suitable composition, allow us to make full use of all the advantages and potential of hydroponics, whether we want to harvest anything in a grow tent.
The benefits of the nutrition from this brand can be used by every beginner grower using a grow tent and a hydroponic system in it, just as licensed farmers and large producers of agricultural crops do, for whom the Advanced Nutrients brand is a well-known and proven constant.
Our TIP: If you have not yet completed a growing cycle with Advanced Nutrients plant nutrition, you can start with discounted fertiliser sets. Recommended!
Basic fertilisers Advanced Nutrients
Hydroponic plant growing is inseparably linked with the frequent use of pH meters. And the basic hydroponic fertilisers for growth and bloom from Advanced Nutrients stand out among competing products above all because they give hydroponically focused growers the chance to finally free themselves from painstaking measuring pH and adjusting pH! This is thanks to the patented pH Perfect technology, which automatically takes care of a stable pH of the nutrient solution when applying the basic fertilisers. In addition to saving money on a sufficiently high-quality and accurate digital pH meter as well as the time needed for its use and regular calibration (see separate article: How to use calibration solutions and pH meters?), you also save your plants a great deal of stress. Stress that is usually caused by fluctuations in the pH of the nutrient solution.
Advanced Nutrients produces basic fertilisers in several variants. As you can see below, for some of them the priority in production was rather cost savings in creating a quality product for achieving a plentiful harvest, but there are also basic fertilisers aimed primarily at experts. Within basic nutrition, we therefore distinguish the following product ranges at Advanced Nutrients:
Advanced Nutrients pH perfect: 3-part basic nutrition for the entire growing cycle for growers of all categories
- pH Perfect Grow
- PH Perfect Bloom
- pH Perfect Micro
The trio of separate fertiliser components for indoor growing (see above) also symbolically takes the first three places in terms of sales in our e-shop when it comes to Advanced Nutrients basic fertilisers. All three are applied together during the growing cycle. Detailed Advanced Nutrients dosing tables will help you with precise dosing. This also applies to the other Advanced Nutrients fertilisers listed below.
This basic nutrition range for successful growth and flowering is also intended for growers who are only just starting with hydroponics, because all three components together create a synergistic whole throughout the entire growing cycle (the so-called indoor formula), providing plants with all the nutrients they need for optimal development thanks to a high degree of absorbability. A strong non-ionic surfactant creates a multi-stage dosing matrix, thanks to which plants absorb absolutely everything without residue. Other benefits and resulting effects include:
- Low price
- Compatibility (hydroponic system, aeroponic system, inert media)
- Plant vitality
- Natural aroma and colour of flowers and large fruits
- Absorbability - chelation (more than 30% higher and up to 37% faster than other products)
- Stable pH (throughout the entire growing cycle thanks to patented pH perfect technology)
Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom: 2-part fertilisers for growth or bloom
In the case of this range of basic plant nutrition, these are two-part fertilisers, on which a huge number of experienced growers from all over the world have relied in recent years and still rely. A safe bet and the basis of success here already at the production stage are pharmaceutical-grade raw materials and the highest possible absorbability of important nutrients in chelated form. These fertilisers contain 16 basic elements, amino acids, humates and fulvates. The result is rapid growth and a robust structure of healthy, resilient plants with fresh, green leaves, which then more easily move into the flowering stage, where they pleasantly surprise you with large flowers and fruits with full flavour or aroma.
- During the vegetative phase, 2 fertiliser components are used for growth:
- In the flowering stage, these are then the fertiliser components for bloom:
Sensi Grow / Bloom and other preparations adapted for growing in coco:
For the needs of growing in coco, the American manufacturer has adapted the following fertilisers from the “SENSI” range, which make growing plants in coconut substrates easier, among other things, thanks to the ideal content and mutual ratio of magnesium and calcium in chelated form.
- Growth basic fertilisers for growing in coco: Sensi Grow Coco Part A + Sensi Grow Coco Part B
- Bloom basic fertilisers for growing in coco: Sensi Bloom Coco Part A + Sensi Bloom Coco Part B
When growing in coco, we recommend supplementing the basic plant nutrition with Big Bud Coco Liquid, often described as the best bloom booster in the world! Growers who prefer coco as their growing medium often also use Bud Ignitor or Overdrive.
Connoisseur Grow and Connoisseur Bloom: the best fertilisers for hydroponics?
Probably yes! In the third and most advanced range of basic fertilisers, the manufacturer is interested in only one thing, namely a fantastic harvest thanks to a luxurious composition with the highest possible efficiency during the vegetative or flowering stage. This two-part basic plant nutrition is intended primarily for experienced growers, for whom a beautiful harvest and high yield are a matter of course, and who are now looking for a product that will allow them to surpass their current limits. Take your harvest to the next level!
When obtaining only the strongest and highest-quality ingredients for the final composition of these fertilisers, cost savings with the prospect of a lower final product price were definitely not the priority. The result is that not a single molecule of nutrients goes to waste. You can use the basic fertilisers from the “CONNOISSEUR” range in all hydroponic and aeroponic systems. In short, these are the main reasons why we recommend them to all growers who have already mastered everything essential in hydroponics or aeroponics:
- The result of many years of research and scientific knowledge
- Micro-nutrients and macro-nutrients of unrivalled quality with the highest possible usability. More efficient use of all nutrients also means better fertiliser management.
- pH perfect technology continuously ensures a stable pH of the nutrient solution.
- CONNOISSEUR fertilisers intensely stimulate plant metabolism throughout the entire growing cycle.
The exceptional Connoisseur range also includes basic fertilisers for coco (see below), for which we again can only warmly recommend the liquid bloom booster BIG BUD COCO for a guaranteed “bloom booster” effect!
- Basic growth fertiliser for coco: Connoisseur COCO Grow Part A + Connoisseur COCO Grow Part B
- Basic bloom fertiliser for coco: Connoisseur COCO Bloom Part A + Connoisseur COCO Bloom Part B
Jungle Juice: 3-part basic nutrition for the less demanding
The basic organomineral nutrition from Advanced Nutrients is rounded off by the JUNGLE JUICE range, which is intended primarily for hobby growers for home use only. These are 3-part basic fertilisers GROW – BLOOM – MICRO, characterised by a low price, but they no longer have natural pH regulation. You can still count on a balanced content of quality nutrients with good absorbability throughout the entire growing cycle.
Organic plant nutrition Advanced Nutrients OIM
And now something for environmentally focused growers and farmers. Do you prefer to grow plants and agricultural crops in open soil, or in soil-based substrates, and do you strictly ensure that your harvest is 100% organic? Then instead of organomineral plant nutrition (see above), try Advanced Nutrients organic fertilisers with OIM certification, meeting the highest environmental criteria. Stronger and more effective organic fertilisers, which can also be used without any problem in indoor environments, will be hard to find on the market.
The basic nutrition in this category consists of single-component fertilisers for growth or bloom (Grow / Bloom), which have recently received a brand-new, improved formula including the following ingredients:
- 100% organic primary, secondary and amino-chelated macro-nutrients
- Nourishing bat guano
- Liquid fish hydrolysate
- Yeast extract with a high content of vitamins, minerals and L-amino acids
- Plant extracts
The liquid organic growth fertiliser Iguana Juice Organic Grow – OIM and the liquid organic bloom fertiliser Iguana Juice Organic Bloom – OIM bring environmentally focused growers a whole range of practical benefits:
- A successful solution to typical problems associated with organic farming, such as unpleasant odour, nutrient deficiencies, the occurrence of mould, or a poor harvest far below your expectations.
- Perfect rooting of cuttings and vigorous vegetative growth.
- Easy preparation (mixing) and a composition that does not “clump” and also does not clog irrigation systems!
- Excellent absorbability.
Mother Earth Super Tea Bloom Organic is a unique, purely natural nutrition for your plants, packed with optimised ingredients obtained from the cleanest possible sources. In short, a premium composition for connoisseurs and not only for them!
- Despite the absence of synthetic additives, it is the key to unlocking the maximum potential of your plants for better growth and higher yields!
- Effective support for fruit formation, which thus gains significantly better flavour and, as the final product of your gardening, also a higher overall value.
- This natural fertiliser contains a balanced ratio of organic, easily absorbable basic nutrients (see separate article: N-P-K – what is it?).
- The composition is also enriched with plant extracts with a high proportion of chlorophyll or vitamins.
- Compatibility with all growing methods and systems.
Ancient Earth Organic is a concentrated nutritional supplement for larger, stronger and healthier plants based on humic acids and fulvic acids, the importance of which is explained in a separate article: Fulvic and humic acids: importance and use in plant nutrition. These are the reasons why it is worth using Ancient Earth Organic if you want to achieve a plentiful harvest without a trace of chemistry:
- This nutritional supplement can support plants at any developmental stage.
- At the same time, it significantly reduces secondary salinity and fluctuations in the pH of the watering solution.
- It supports root activity and overall plant growth. It also stimulates the formation of larger and healthier fruits. It therefore acts as a natural growth and bloom stimulator!
- It ensures more efficient absorption of basic nutrients and micro-elements, as well as their transport through the plant to the place of use.
Plant nutrition supplements – additives Advanced Nutrients
In connection with the basic nutrition for coco, you already know that BIG BUD COCO LIQUID will guarantee a real “BLOOM BOOSTER” effect, so it is appropriate to expect the same from the best-selling bloom stimulator in our e-shop, which is Advanced Nutrients Big Bud Liquid. What can it do? It improves plant respiration, metabolism and, in the end, of course, flower formation in a significant way. As a bloom booster, it stands up on its own thanks to its trouble-free solubility and the rapid absorbability of the nutrients it contains, but if you want the most massive flowers or fruits possible, you can do as experienced growers do and combine it with other supplements from the same manufacturer, especially Bud Ignitor.
Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor is used only during the first two weeks of flowering. This period is enough for this unique preparation to increase the potential of your plants by an average of up to 60%! If we stay with the numbers for a moment, the usual percentage of flowering sites on stems ranges between 30–55%. Use Bud Ignitor and you will reach 70–100%! In addition to rapidly increasing the number of inflorescences, this nutritional supplement is not limited in terms of application only to hydroponics or coco, so you can also use it without any worries to support plants grown in soil.
Advanced Nutrients Overdrive is an indispensable helper for the often underestimated final weeks of flowering, containing folic acid and other substances that stimulate the formation of larger flowers.
Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad Liquid is a bloom booster intended primarily for some more demanding plant varieties that require an extra supply of easily absorbable carbohydrates. These are contained here in 100% organic form (glucose, arabinose, xylose).
Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X is a top-class liquid booster for better fruit formation and essential substances. It can initiate and then intensify the natural processes leading to increased production of aromatic substances. The best effects are achieved in combination with the stimulators Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha (see below).
Voodoo Juice is an organic root booster containing beneficial microorganisms (special microbes and bacteria) that break down residual organic material in the root zone (dead rootlets) and transform it into nutrients that the plant can easily use, which results in the development of a root system up to twice as large and healthier, which is, as is well known, the key to vigorous growth and the formation of flowers and fruits. Its organic composition also makes Voodoo Juice suitable for use in hydroponics as well as for organic plant growing.
The manufacturer strongly recommends combining Voodoo Juice with the root stimulator Tarantula, which performs a preventive function and, thanks to specially bred microbes, protects the root system from mould, bacteria or pests. It also increases phosphorus availability. Tarantula Liquid is not used in coco.
Piranha Liquid supports an Piranha Liquid supports the increase of root mass by up to an incredible 700%. It also protects plants against root diseases and various stress factors. It increases the level of absorption of nutrients and the production of essential oils. Logically, it is therefore another root booster that the American manufacturer recommends combining with the popular Voodoo Juice. In addition, you can also safely use it in practice as a foliar spray.
