Works well if connected properly with airtight seals.

Base products work great, flowering additives are hit and miss with many being just overpriced weak solutions of the same essential nutrients, sometimes with fairy dust ingredients.

Supposedly, a Banana Runtz / Banana Punch, source reliability unknown. Pending curing and medical application test. The seed turned into a beautiful photoperiod girl with pretty curvy leaflets. Stretchy, vigorous and reasonably smelly. Not finicky at all, but sensitive to nute accumulation and light burn. Smelled of papaya or unripe bananas in early flower, starting from proper flowering it smells of weed okay. It has a complex multi-layered smell, but I would not describe it as close to any particular fruit or berry or tree smells I know in the common language.

My first seed was a three-leaf whorled phyllotaxy weirdo. I didn't expect much from this particular pheno, but it was very quick to gain plant mass and leaf surface. I fed it 100-105% recommended, which was evidently a bit too much, but I continued doing it for my own research reasons. I delayed topping any any HS canopy management as long as I could to give it as long a head start as I could, because for autos early gains are exponential, as are losses, if stressed too much too soon, thus I decided to do a major de-branching and canopy shaping when she showed early signs of flowering. Smell was weak to medium throughout. I think there is some sour and some diesel, especially mid flower, but overall I am not a big fan of using bright smell references to describe complex nuances of cannabis plant aroma. Have not cured yet. All in all, she survived like a champ excess nutes, excess UV and a hardcore one-time defoliation, to produce a lot of dense, solid and chunky buds. Late flower foxtailing became pronounced on most buds, but by no means are the tails fluffy or light. They are as dense as the core bud itself.

Excellent bang for buck, but lacks a few niceties of more expensive products.

Both pH+ and pH- performed solidly with all Advanced Nutrients products I have tested. Can recommend.
