Those are some beautiful plants!
I have lots of experience with Advance Nutrients. First, are you combining this with their Bloom parts A & B and is this going to be your only nutrient plan. Plus, what is your soil made of?
My experience is to use half of the recommended or less until you see how the girls react. The one thing that tripped me up on Advanced Nutrients was that you didn't need to ph your water but your water had to be below 100 ppm of TDS. Be careful of that because it does matter.
Rhino Skin is basically silica that you need to strengthen stems and really does work. Not needed too much during flowering phase and actually well placed fans do about the same thing. I will admit I got some thick branches off this stuff.
All of their bud enhancing products seemed to work ok, but it is crazy easy to burn your plants on this stuff so be sparing. I thought their overdrive gave my plants an actual last push at the end, but maybe that was wishful thinking.
I do want you to know that I have recently abandoned the chemical fertilizer for all organic. After too many struggles with ph lockout and nutrient burn I am finding this to be a much more relaxing way to grow.-
Thanks it's my first grow 👍🏼 yes I am using with it the bloom A&B, growing in coco perlite . I did have lockout when I first started out only cause I was using to much of the recommended dose . I gave it a flush and started with a small dose
And worked my way up and all is looking good . -
Awesome! Well everything looks great to me and I must actually defer to Nebula's comment as she just schooled me on how to post a proper response. She nailed it as to what I would do as far as LSTing the plant. It would increase your yield and having an even canopy is really helpful. The website has awesome suggestions. My only tip for LST is have a piece of tape handy just in case a stem snaps and you need and emergency band-aid, I use blue painters tape.
Don't stress your grow too much and enjoy.

To follow up on thumbless, I'm also switching away from Advanced nutrients because of the amount of salt in it and the need to flush your plants more often. Been incorporating emerald goddess products following my grow shop advice (who's discontinuing their advanced nutrients products btw). Unlike AN, I haven't had any burning whatsover using EG and I feed at every watering about twice a week. Follow the link in my footer if you want to see pics of my current grow using EG products. Your plant looks beautiful though. and yes good results with the products you mentioned but you gotta watch for nute lock outs with AN.x1 LED Cirrus T5 500w, x3 Sun System LEC315, x1 Nanolux LEC315, Saturn 5 controller, x4 6" can vents, 8800 btu A/C, 70 pint dehumidifierComment

Nice setup! I haven't used Advanced Nutrients myself, but lots of growers like them! I noticed you listed supplements, but are you using base nutrients? Base nutrients offer the basic building blocks of growing, and your plants can be grown purely with base nutrients. Base nutrients for plants are like vitamins for us - like how we need Vitamin C or we'll get scurvy. We need them to survive. All the supplements are more of a bonus enhancer, like how people take fish oil but we but can survive without it.
And just to check, are you growing in soil (or something soilless like coco)? Soil naturally contains a lot of base nutrients, but sometimes the Phosphorus and Potassium get used up if the plant has been in the same pot for a long time, so you may have to supplement with base nutrients meant for flowering.
Overall your plants look great! They seem to like what you're doing! My only suggestion would be to maybe try to bend over and tie down those tallest stems so they're the same height as the others. If possible, you want to try to keep all the stems about the same level so you can keep the lights closer without burning the tallest ones So far your buds are developing very nicely under your LEDs!

I am using the base bloom A&B along with cal mag exrta . Growing in coco perlite . For the light I use 300w mars grow she seems to do the job for now . I can't really bend them over they are to tall and they will break,Comment
