When you decide to buy an Advanced
Nutrients 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.
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
Industry firsts
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...
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 selfadjusting 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 macronutrients.
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).

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

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...
why compromise?
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.
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.
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
f there is a better
product out there
our Business
Buddies and Advanced
Angels have been given
very clear instructions
to recommend that
product even if its
a competing product
with one of our own
products.

1. Lighting
The point of indoor growing gear is to
mimic nature as closely as possible, or
improve upon it when possible. And just
like everyone learned in grade school, one
of the basic foods any plant needs is light.
Obviously in nature this comes from the sun.
Indoors, you have a couple of customizable
options that will do just about as good a job
if you get the right equipment.
The two most important considerations
you have when planning your lighting are:
1. How much light you need for the plants
you're growing.
2. Where you are in the process of growing.
1. Uno
2. MelonHead
3. Custom Hood
12
2. Power
The power source for a light is called a
ballast. The ballast controls the energy
output of the light, and can automatically
time the on/off stages of your photoperiod.
The ideal ballast for the light you choose
is one that can a) manage a steady output of
light from your bulb, and b) get maximum
performance from your bulb without
pushing it too far (which can result in
overheating, and in some cases, exploding
bulbs. Be very careful about this. Bulbs
pushed too far can lead to house fires, not to
mention unfortunate growing setbacks.)
3. Air Flow
There are three things to keep in mind
when it comes to air flow:
1. Stomata
2. Circulation
3. Ventilation
1.
Stomata are the nostrils your plants
breathe through. The name of the game
here is to keep everything clean. That
means keeping easily clogged stomata free
of too much gunk in the growing medium,
whether that comes from an imbalance of
nutrients, pesticides, fungicides, or what
have you. Also, you want to keep fresh air
coming in through ventilation, and have it
circulating around the room.
Circulation is important because your
plants will use all the CO2 in the air around
them very quickly. Once a dead air zone
forms around your plants, growth comes
to a screeching halt. You want to keep the
air moving so that your plants always have
a fresh source of CO2.
Ventilation is the process of bringing
in fresh air. This is pretty easy to do, and
is also very important. If you dont have
a steady supply of fresh, dry air, then the
humidity levels in your grow space will
get out of control and clog your plants
stomata. Once that happens, again, growth
stops dead in its tracks.
BaddAss Ballasts are the world's first low-frequency square-wave digital ballast.
BaddAss Blades
BaddAss Blower
4. ENVIRONMENT
By environment we mean the general
conditions of the room. What is the humidity?
Room temperature? Temperature of your
lights? Factors like these are very important
to manage if you want to grow well. However,
at the time of this publication, Advanced
Nutrients doesnt manufacture every product
needed to address these challenges.
Therefore, we have to recommend that
you find a hydro store, with experts you get
along with and trust, who can help you out.
Its a good idea anyway, because youll make
your best progress as a grower when you have
a community of other experienced growers
to learn from and talk with.

Cloning
and Rooting
That said, most often you'll start with a clone, cut from a
plant you'd like to reproduce. This is as simple as cutting
a branch off the plant you'd like to mimic, and then
dipping the cuttings in a rooting solution and planting it.
After you plant that clone, you'll begin the process of
moving it through bigger and bigger containers to give
the roots space to grow. What might start out as a clone
in a dixie cup full of soil could eventually grow into a
monster plant that lives in a 15-gallon container.
Again, this all depends on how much you're growing
and what kind of space you have.
As far as what you can do to help your plants grow
through this period, you only need to manage a few
things:
1. Your plants' stress level
2. A base nutrient solution
3. Rhizosphere supplements
If you cover those factors well, you'll be setting yourself
up for big time success. In the following pages, we'll
tell you about the solutions we've developed to address
these key aspects of growing, and why we think they're
so great.

Cloning Success
How to Eliminate Cloning Problems,
and Get a Near 100% Survival Rate
20
Section 2 - Cloning and Rooting | Advanced Nutrients: "How to Grow Bigger Buds"
There Is A Solution:
Advanced Nutrients Juicy Roots was
designed to solve these problems and
to make cloning success easier for the
everyday grower.
Juicy Roots helps optimize clone's
root development. The formula contains
compounds that can help cuttings to direct
more energy to earlier root initiation and
growth.
This, of course, is fantastic news for
growers because the faster clones initiate
roots, the faster they can stop relying on
stored energy and start gathering their
own. More energy means a stronger plant
and stronger plants aren't as susceptible to
common grow room pests and diseases.
The bottom line is that when your
clones rooting is optimized, you can
expect a higher survival rate and virtually
no more, or much less, of the wilting and
yellowing typically associated with the
cloning process. In the end this translates
to a strong root structure that's ready for
future growth, stronger and more valuable
plants and more yields.

Juicy Roots can make it possible to get a near 100% survival rate
with your clones, saving you time, money and frustration.
Section 2 - Cloning and Rooting | Advanced Nutrients: "How to Grow Bigger Buds"
Juicy Roots has been scientifically tested and rigorously proven to give
your high-value plants larger root mass and development.

Our Solution
If youre tired of always settling for
decreased yields because of limitations and
weaknesses with your rooting medium,
weve got a remedy for you. The scientists
at Advanced Nutrients along with the
talented people at Jiffy have developed
Root Shooters.

How It Works
Root Shooters proprietary substrate
is composed of a unique and uniform
structure with hundreds of micro air
pockets evenly distributed throughout the
plugs. Unlike with bark, you get extensive
fibrous root growth throughout the full
depth and dimensions of the plug. And
because theres no net around the plug, your
plants roots will grow fully throughout the
medium immediately after potting.
In addition, this superior structure
gives you ideal water holding capacity
and excellent drainage, so your rooting
medium never gets too wet. This helps
prevent diseases and pests, and reduces
potential losses, especially in overwintered crops.
Research proves that cuttings grown in
Root Shooters produce a cleaner callous
than in other mediums, which means youll

What B Vitamins Do
For Your Plants:
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Enhances
systemic resistance so that your plants
are less susceptible to common grow
room diseases that often disguise
themselves as nutrient disorders while
insidiously harming your crops.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin): An essential
substance that contributes to your
plants metabolism and other basic life
functions. Insufficient amounts of B3
lead to slow growth, poor yields, and
lowered disease resistance.
Vitamin B6: Involved in plant respon
ses to stress such as high light, chilling,
drought, and ozone. B6 is a root growth
factor and also a key player in a plants
salt tolerance.
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid): Helps plants
maintain healthy metabolism and DNA,
and upgrades the weight and quality of
your harvest. Because B9 breaks down
so easily (especially under intense
lighting), its essential that you have a
QUESTION: Ive heard that B-52 is really good for young plants.
Is this true?
ANSWER: Yes. B-52 is definitely a powerful anti-stress tonic
that increases survival of transplants, seedlings, and clones.
QUESTION: I am growing all-organic. Can I use B-52?
ANSWER: We make the only all-organic B vitamin supplement
in the industry, called Organic B1, which you should use if
youre growing only organically.

Finally, do your
nutrients balance your
pH for you?
2-Part Vs 3-Part
Nutrient Solutions
In the early days of hydroponics, base
nutrient solutions were sold as a package of
three different types of bottles: grow, micro,
and bloom. Each of these had different ratios
of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium,
commonly abbreviated N-P-K, because from
these three basic elements, your plants can
create everything they need to thrive.
The hitch was (and remains) that threepart base nutrients must be used in a specific
sequence to make sure your plants get the full
benefit of the N-P-K, specifically the N.
If, for example, you first pour the bottle
labeled grow", you won't get the full benefit
of the nitrogen in the bottle labeled micro,
which should always be poured first. The
reason for this, without getting into too much
detail, is that if your plants are exposed to the
ratios of N-P-K present in the grow bottle to
begin with, the nitrogen in the micro bottle
will be locked out, so to speak, and thus
wasted.
To solve this problem, and to make base
nutrients more effective and easy to use,
nutrient companies created two-part base
nutrients that eliminated the problem of
illogical N-P-K ratios. Two-part solutions
are mixed in such a way that you only need
to focus on what phase of growing you're
in, vegetative or flowering, and your base
nutrient comes with ideal N-P-K ratios
already worked out.

Misconceptions
About Your

Solutions pH
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 an anion-rich fertilizer to raise their soils pH. The field pumping
station above also filters the source water.
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.

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 drive the pH chemical reactions that are the most overlooked by growers and its not your
fault; its just most books out there
dont go into great depth about it.

Well, each one of them has a certain ability to stabilize or buffer pH, which is another way of saying they
have varied abilities to keep the pH from changing on
you. This ability is called cation exchange capacity
or CEC.
In other words, CEC refers to the ability of the
medium to absorb and release cations. Remember
the cation stuff I mentioned at the beginning of this
report? Well be looking at this a little bit closer now.
53
Calcined Clay
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.
54
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.

Beneficial Microbes
Switch Gears At Night
At night beneficial microbes are at rest and respirating, and they give off alkaline molecules instead of
acid as they do during the day, and the pH goes up.
Some interesting facts: some microbes give off
more hydrogen ions (pH down) in a 24 hour period
than hydroxide ions (pH up). And some do exactly
the reverse.
Also make sure that you do not over-water your
plants, and provide a somewhat warm growing medium (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!
A Good Resource
www.pulseinstruments.net
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 24 hour period. Obviously the importance of this is significant because we can now
use these to help you control your growing mediums pH.

The Advantage Of
Expanded Clay Pellets
Shown above are the different outcomes that your nutrients will have depending on how their cations 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
63
Like I Mentioned Up At
The Beginning...Its A
Balancing Act
64
So lets talk more about your nutrient. Since a lot goes on in a nutrient, youll need to have one that
takes everything into account and
makes the proper adjustments for
you. It should work with and within
the pH range of where your plants
are growing and not against it.
Plants that are subjected to
stress due to limited and incorrect
ratios of nutrient elements show
slower growth, smaller bud size
and weaker potency. In fact your
plants use very little phosphorus
- they are actually nitrogen and
potassium hogs.
Unfortunately, other nutrient
companies havent taken the
necessary tissue samples to find
this out. Weve taken thousands
of samples for all parts of the plant
through all phases of growing and
rigorously tested many different
nutrient ratios and have optimized
your plants nutrients based on
that research.
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
65
Here it is, simply put - its cheaper to make nutrient formulas for
soil than hydroponics. Because
soil has some nutrients (nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, sulfur, and for the
most part small quantities of
iron, manganese, copper,
zinc, boron, and molybdenum) already present in
them, companies just figure
that they dont have to put as
much of those elements into their
nutrient formulas.

end of the price scale.

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 bottom line:
To get the best return on your investment
of your time and your money, choosing the
right base nutrient to feed your high-value
crops is critical.
The problem
Indoor growing is a new science. There
simply arent a lot of people who have had
the resources or the know-how, or taken the
time to study the specific types of plants you
grow to see what makes them tick.
Our solution
The pH Perfect Sensi series comes in two
different versions, helping you get the best
out of both the grow phase and bloom phase
of your plants. Here, well focus on the grow
phase, which is where pH Perfect Sensi Grow
comes in.

The Biggest Problems With Most Three-Part
Formulas And How To Spot One That Works
78
Section 3 - Growing
While a high quality two-part formula is
actually the most effective way to dial in the
exact nutrients and ratios your plants need,
many growers enjoy the simplicity of an
easy-mixing three-part formula. However,
those growers still want the most effective
formula possible.
Unfortunately, the truth is that most
three-part formulas are not up to the
standards that professionals like you and I
expect, and those formulas shouldnt be used
with the types of high-value plants we grow.
QUESTION: Why does each of the three parts have its own
color?
ANSWER: Colors are used to simplify the process of mixing by
allowing three different parts to be easily recognizable from
each other, helping to avoid confusion and possible duplication
of ingredients in the reservoir mixture. The colors are created
by absolutely safe dyes.
QUESTION: Why should I use Advanced Nutrients products
at a lesser strength than General Hydroponics?
ANSWER: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom
is manufactured with the latest coatings, chelates and processes,
which means much more nutrition is absorbed by plants. That's
why you use a lot less of our nutrients when compared to General
Hydroponics, which is 25% weaker than our three-part.

The problem
The hydroponics industry is very competitive and it can be difficult to discern
the difference between a product that will
form the pillars of your success, and one
that will leave your plants sedentary, or
even harm them!
So what should you be looking for?
What you need to know
There are three things that are VERY
important when hunting for a product as
specialized as this:

may be necessary since water quality and pH
vary both regionally and seasonally. Please
measure accurately. Reduce nutrient strength
if plants show signs of stress, or if growing in
very bright, hot, or dry environments.
Shake well before mixing.

Know the Benefits of a Simple-To-Use
Fulvic/Humic Acid Supplement to Take Your
Plants to the Next Level
86
Section 3 - Growing
Growers like us know how important it is
to provide our plants with all the essential
nutrients they need in order to grow bigger
and faster while still producing potent,
high-quality yields.
But sometimes the process of providing
our valuable plants with all the right
nutrients can become confusing and
exhausting, causing us to overlook vital
steps in our plants' development.
For example, fulvic and humic
supplements are very important in the
life cycle of your plants, but also very easy
to overlook in the day-to-day routine of
caring for your garden.
The Benefits Of
Ancient Earth Minerals
The earth has been compiling and storing
minerals of all kinds for millions and
millions of years. And fulvic and humic
acids are two that were passed down to us
from the dinosaurs.
Fulvic acid is a water-soluble, natural,
organic substance of low molecular weight,
often found in surface water. Its one of
87
reputations.
Humic substances, of which fulvic acid
is one, are the link between the living and
the nonliving in nature. When the proper
amounts of humic substances are dissolved
in water, the water takes on a new form,
becoming restructured on the molecular
level.
The biggest difference between fulvic
and humic acids is that fulvic acid (F-1)
is very acidic, while humic acid (H-2) is
much more alkaline. If you were to only
use one of the two, your pH balance would
shift erratically, wreaking havoc on your
plants.
It is very important to use both and
not just one of the two. That is the reason
that Ancient Earth has been added to
The scientists at Advanced Nutrients never stop
learning and testing in an effort to bring growers
like you new innovations.
The early grow phase is an important time (especially in organic gardens) to supplement with proper
levels of humic acid and fulvic acid.
88

to use both [fulvic
acid and humic
acid] and not just
one or the other
individually. That is
the reason Ancient
Earth has been added
to our plant specific
line of nutrients. It's a
combination product

Missing?
There are BIG, vital things missing from
most bloom phase nutrients. And even
though they may not seem like a big deal
at first, when these missing elements are
present in your nutrients, they can take your
valuable crop from good to professional.
The first thing you want to look for
when choosing a bloom phase nutrient
formula is something to ensure that the
nutrients in this formulation get into
your plants as quickly as possible. In the

Theres a good chance youre reading this
article because youve heard about some
of the growing systems floating around
out there and you want to know, once and
for all, which ones are worth the time and
money and, even more importantly, which
ones are good enough to feed to your
precious plants.
As it happens, there are several things
you want to look for when choosing a
beginner or hobbyist level growing system
designed to increase your yields without
putting a strain on your wallet.
Building A Solid
Foundation
You know as well as anyone that healthy
plants start with healthy roots, and that
healthy roots are the foundation of a
bountiful harvest. Without a healthy and
solid root system, your plants wont have
the ability to absorb key nutrients, and
could get stuck in a cycle of mediocre
growth.
Thats why its so important for any
system you choose to have a high quality
microbial supplement.
A powerful microbial supplement creates
an ideal environment for your root zone,
allowing your plants to more efficiently take
in nutrients. This means your crop will stay
healthier and stronger throughout its life
cycle, which gives you a significant increase
in yield potential.
Another key factor youll want to look
out for is vitamins.

Products in the
Professional arsenal:
Tarantula promotes naturally occurring
growth factors that help to increase plant
leaf and root mass for bigger yields. The
beneficial bacteria in the liquid suspension
will quickly colonize the growing medium
and root system when applied with the
nutrients in the Bigger Yields Flowering
System.
The diverse species of bacteria in the
formula form symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationships with the growth medium
and directly with the root system. Some of
the bacterium selected are able to help reduce the effects of stresses in the root zone,
convert organic residues to plant-available
substances, and naturally release beneficial
growth cofactors.
Nirvana stimulates a higher metabolic
rate of activity in crops, promoting faster
growth rates and larger yields. Nirvana is
formulated by combining organic bloom
stimulants with premium quality compost
tea. Water, nutrients, light energy, and
carbon dioxide can be processed by the
plant at faster rates, stimulating higher levels
of production.
Vitamins, carbohydrates, amino acids,
and bloom cofactors created in the perfect
ratios trigger the plant to produce at a
higher rate. Plants will tend to have tighter
internodes through flowering, making
better use of artificial light sources for
higher yields.
Sensizym is proven to create healthier
growing mediums, reduce food sources for
pathogens, and improve nutrient availability
in all types of growing systems. The blend
of over 80 digestive enzymes contained in
the formula is highly bioactive and naturally
occurring.
The enzymes quickly digest fertilizers,
decaying roots, and other organic matter,
converting it into a source of energy for plant
growth. Growers using Sensizym in their
feeding program will keep root membranes
cleaner and free of debris that can impede
the rapid absorption of nutrients, thereby
creating bigger yields.

quicker flowering response in crops when
switching from vegetative growth into the
bloom phase. Plants are able to channel
more energy into creating blooms rather
than leaf growth, increasing yields and
reducing cropping time. Bud Ignitor is
added the first week of initiating the bloom
phase in order to trigger a faster flowering
response. Bud Ignitor will also decrease
internodal distances, giving growers more
fruits and flowers instead of stems at
harvest time.

Our solution
Piranha, the beneficial fungi supplement
from Advanced Nutrients, is a blend of
twelve species of endomycorrhizal and
ectomycorrhizal fungi. And Piranha is
never outsourced.
In fact, Advanced Nutrients is 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. Thats how we
ensure the finished product is best suited
to the special plants we care for.
These carefully selected and isolated
species of fungi occur naturally in healthy
soils and root systems, and are cleanly
sourced. The fungi colonize and grow in
the root system and growing medium to
provide an enormous number of benefits
to the crop.

beneficial fungi
that increase

advantage of an
incredible method
of maximizing your
garden's production.
The details
Trichoderma fungi are microscopic
living organisms that thrive in the root
environment. They are highly aggressive
towards bacteria and fungi that are
unfriendly to plants, thereby helping to
prevent and control many root diseases
and disorders.
Mycorrhizae are a type of fungi that
live on and inside plant roots.
Each of our microbial strains is
individually bred in a purpose-built
10,000-liter breeding reactor. Our
microbes are later taken to an evaporation
tower and gently dried. Then the Piranha
super strains are carefully recombined.
How it works
The microbial strains form a symbiotic
or beneficial relationship with the plant.
The plants roots secrete and exude
wastes that act as a food source to the
mycorrhizal fungi, nourishing them and
allowing for them to multiply. In return,
the mycorrhizae act as an extension of
Microbial strains form a symbiotic or beneficial relationship with the plant. The plants waste feeds
the microbes and the microbes enhance the plants root system, maximizing plant growth rate.

How to Properly Inoculate Your Root
Zone with Beneficial Bacteria
118
Section 4 - Blooming and Flowering | Advanced Nutrients: "How to Grow Bigger Buds"
The details
Bacteria in Tarantula help break down
organic matter in the root zone for
increased nutrient availability.
Decomposing organic matter is the
preferred breeding ground for harmful
bacteria. By having friendly bacteria
eat this decomposing material and turn
it into food for your plants, youre not
only removing pathogenic threats,
youre feeding your plants extra highquality food that otherwise wouldnt be
available.
When using Tarantula, you can expect
an observable, day-and-night difference
in your plants within a couple of weeks
of first use. Expect to see tighter internodal spacing, and therefore better,
bushier branching.
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. 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 diseased. By adding the
right types of beneficial microbes to your soil, you ensure that only
beneficial elements gain dominance there.

How it works
The key word here is biodiversity. Specifically,
there are 11 species of bacteria, each chosen
by our in-house scientists, that provide 1.4
billion colony-forming units per gram. This
makes for a very potent bacteria inoculate.
Each of these 11 species falls into one of
three major categories of bacteria type.
Bacteria Type #1: Bacillus
This is the strongest of the three and is
extremely hostile toward anaerobic bacteria
(the bad guys).
How strong is it? Its used as a litmus test
for autoclaves in the lab. If the high-pressure
saturated steam from an autoclave isnt fully
functional, bacillus species will survive the
onslaught. That makes them a very strong
ally to have in your root zone.

arantula is
a powdered
microbial
inoculate containing
billions of dormant
beneficial microbes
that will colonize your
plants when applied to
the root zone or foliage.
Final thoughts
Advanced Nutrients was one of the first
companies in the marketplace to introduce
this sort of inoculate.
And while other hydroponics
companies have followed suit, none to
date have matched Tarantula's diversity,
concentrations and ratios of beneficial
bacteria.
Tarantula has a very stable shelf life.
Because it's in a powder formulation, it can
stand a couple years on the shelf, and won't
smell like liquid bottles would.
Tarantula has been proven for years to
give you a night and day difference you can
observe within a week or two of the first
use.
How often
should you apply
Tarantula?
At first, you should apply it frequently,
whether its just with water, or with
water and nutrients. For several weeks
you should keep up a steady pace until
colonization is established. See bottle for
specifics.
Are there products
that help tarantula
work better?
Yes. Piranha, Voodoo Juice, and Bud
Factor X are the best allies to Tarantula.

How is this
accomplished?
By getting the most out of every chemical
reaction your plant goes through.
Your plants will naturally create their
own carbohydrates for energy through
photosynthesis. However, when your plant
is stressed, these natural resources can be
taxed. When that happens, your harvest
suffers, because energy that could be used
for growing is being used for handling
stress, and growing stalls.
Carbohydrates are metabolized in almost
every chemical process within a plant.
When your plants have an abundance of
carbohydrates, all of the chemical processes,
from photosynthesis to DNA synthesis, run
much more efficiently, giving your plant
metabolic leverage to grow.
As any grower knows, there are all kinds
of plant stress; from pests to pathogens,
transplanting,
light,
environmental
elements... and every grow cycle will be a an
exercise is fending these off.
So, ensuring your plants have a
storehouse of high-quality carbohydrates,

The Details
It delivers bio-active ingredients
that coax maximum production of
terpenoids, resin, and essential oils.
These are the building blocks of taste
and aroma in your plants. More on this
below.
The co-factors in Bud Factor X were
also engineered to increase the size of
your yields, not just crop quality.
Bud Factor X is a reformulated version
of an older Advanced Nutrients product
called Scorpion Juice.
What exactly will it do?
When you use Bud Factor X, it will increase
your overall yields, by using proprietary
co-factors that have been derived form
fractionated plant material. What that
means is that a very specific compound
(or compounds) that occur naturally in
a certain plant have been isolated. These
include vitamins, hormones, amino acids,
and more.
Certain compounds enhance certain
qualities. We have isolated these compounds
from natural sources, and learned to extract
the active parts and discard the rest.
ANSWER: Follow the label instructions and then spray Bud Factor
X directly onto buds just before lights go off. This way it will have
time to absorb overnight. You could also apply it about 20 minutes
before lights go on. Either way, you want it to have time to sink in
rather than be evaporated. Try for a pH of about 5.8 and closely
monitor your buds to make sure you arent overloading them. Avoid
spraying buds in high humidity or when you are within three weeks
of harvest.
Section 4 - Blooming and Flowering | Advanced Nutrients: "How to Grow Bigger Buds"
143
esides increasing
yields, flavors,
aroma, and
potency, Bud Factor X
will also make your
crops much more
resistant to spider
mites, powdery mildew,
and bud rot.
144
Imagine how much better your yields would be with optimized resin and an exponential increase in
flowering response. Not only would you grow more, but youd have crops with award-winning smell
and taste.
Final thoughts
1. Bud Factor X is the only product in the
market place that is specifically engineered
to create bigger and more potent buds,
flowers, and fruits by amplifying the plants
natural tendencies in the bloom phase. No
other product works on so many levels to
accomplish this.
2. Bud Factor X is five times more
concentrated for root application than its
predecessor, Scorpion Juice. When you
buy it in the bundle, you get an even better
deal because you get one of the products
for free when you buy the Bigger Yields
Flowering System.
3. No other product in the market place
is capable of improving the quality of
medicinal plants like Bud Factor X can.
Thats because no other product creates
exponential increase in flowering response
based on the plants own natural processes.

The Numbers Prove It! Without Overdrive, your crops stop producing size, weight, and potency
in late bloom cycle. But when you use Overdrive, your crops get a new spark of growth late in
life, so they keep on producing for you far longer than they normally would.
Increased creation of internal floral structures and compounds for increased aroma, taste,
potency and market value
Increased resistance to drought, heat, stress, diseases, pests, and end stage exhaustion
Potentially massive gains in harvest weight and size during last trimester of growth
Beneficial microbes created by scientists studying the roots of the kinds of plants you grow give you a
wide array of elements that increase the stability and productivity of your plants.

Our solution
Final Phase by Advanced Nutrients is
our answer to the challenges you face in
dealing with excess build up in the final
phases of growing.
What does it do?
Final Phase is a nutrient additive that
reduces and removes excess fertilizers
in the root zone, preventing them from
slowing growth, and diminishing flavor
and other characteristics of your harvest.
Final Phase works very quickly to break
ionic bonds between nutrient residues. It
does this using empty chelates, which are
like tiny chemical magnets. Empty chelates
have a stronger attraction with excess
nutrient and build-up molecules than
any other element present in the growing
environment, and so theyre very effective at
un-sticking these excess molecules.

Final Phase works in all kinds of hydroponics systems to protect your crops, save you
money, and activate your plants for bigger yields.
The details
Excess build-up of materials, especially
nitrogen, means diminished flavors and
aromas, which is very bad for business.
Final Phase uses empty chelates to remove
these profit-killing excess materials.
Chelates are an arrangement of
molecules that typically carry fertilizer
molecules to the plant, but if theyre empty
(not already bonded to a specific fertilizer
molecule), they act like a magnet to excess
fertilizer molecules that are floating around.
If youre using Final Phase for a standard
pre-harvest flush, just use water to recirculate until harvest. Do not use more
nutrients theres already a buildup of
everything your plant needs and then some.
Thanks to reverse osmosis, whatever
Final Phase doesnt flush out will provide
more than enough high quality food to
finish out the bloom phase. Pouring in more
nutrients is actually counter-productive.
This is because of a process called osmosis.
Osmosis works like air pressure or
water pressure. Nature likes to keep things
balanced, and so if theres an imbalance of
