Advanced Nutrients Feeding Schedule 2026: pH Perfect, Jungle Juice & Sensi Charts
Complete Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule covering pH Perfect Sensi series, Jungle Juice, and key additives — week-by-week PPM/EC charts for soil, coco, and hydro.
Advanced Nutrients: What Makes Them Different
Advanced Nutrients (AN) is a Canadian company that pioneered cannabis-specific nutrient formulas. Their flagship innovation is pH Perfect technology — a chelation system that automatically buffers pH to the optimal range (5.5–6.3) without manual adjustment, provided your water falls within 4.5–8.5 pH to start.
This guide covers the three most widely used AN systems:
pH Perfect Sensi Grow/Bloom A&B — flagship 2-part system for hydro and coco
Jungle Juice Grow/Micro/Bloom — budget-friendly 3-part system
Connoisseur A&B — premium 2-part with enhanced amino acid chelation
All measurements below are in ml per liter (ml/L). To convert: 1 ml/L = 3.78 ml/gallon.
pH Perfect Sensi Grow & Bloom Feeding Schedule
The Sensi line is AN's most popular system. Use Sensi Grow A+B during vegetative and Sensi Bloom A+B during flowering — always add A and B in equal amounts, never premix concentrates.
pH Target: pH Perfect self-buffers to 5.5–6.3 if your source water is within range. Still verify with a meter — pH Perfect is reliable but not infallible with very hard water (>400 ppm minerals).

Jungle Juice 3-Part Feeding Schedule
Jungle Juice (Grow/Micro/Bloom) is AN's budget line — simpler than Sensi but still cannabis-optimized. Mix order matters: always add Micro first to prevent calcium precipitation.
Mix order: Water → Micro → Grow (veg) or Bloom (flower) → additives

Advanced Nutrients Additives Worth Using
Big Bud (2 ml/L weeks 8–11): AN's flagship bloom booster with amino acids, L-tryptophan, and trace minerals. Noticeably increases bud mass when used correctly. One of the few additives with independently verified results.
B-52 (2 ml/L weeks 1–8): B vitamin and fulvic acid complex. Reduces transplant stress and speeds recovery from training. Use during early growth and stress events.
Bud Candy (2 ml/L weeks 7–12): Carbohydrate supplement that feeds beneficial microbes in the root zone. In soil with living biology, results are measurable. In sterile hydro, effects are minimal.
Overdrive (2 ml/L weeks 11–12): Final push supplement for the last 2 weeks before flush. Contains elevated phosphorus and potassium to drive final bud swelling and trichome maturation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does pH Perfect Advanced Nutrients actually work?
Yes, for most growers. pH Perfect technology buffers nutrient solution to 5.5–6.3 using chelated minerals that remain available across a wide pH range. It works best with RO or soft water under 200 ppm. With hard water above 400 ppm, the buffering capacity may be overwhelmed — always verify with a meter regardless.
What is the Advanced Nutrients Sensi grow feeding rate?
Sensi Grow A and B are used at equal rates. Start at 2 ml/L each (400–600 PPM) for seedlings, increase to 3 ml/L each for early veg, and peak at 4 ml/L each (900–1100 PPM) for late veg. Always add A and B separately to your reservoir — never premix concentrates as this causes nutrient precipitation.
Can I use Advanced Nutrients in soil?
Yes. pH Perfect Sensi and Jungle Juice work in soil — target pH 6.0–7.0 for soil versus 5.5–6.3 for hydro/coco. Note that pH Perfect's auto-buffering is designed for hydroponic pH ranges. In soil, you'll likely still need to manually adjust pH. For soil, the Terra line (Canna) or GH Flora series are purpose-built alternatives.
What's the difference between Sensi and Connoisseur AN?
Connoisseur A&B is AN's premium line featuring enhanced amino acid chelation and additional plant hormones. Sensi is the standard line at a lower price point. Both use pH Perfect technology. Most growers see diminishing returns from Connoisseur versus Sensi — the Sensi line with Big Bud and Overdrive outperforms base Connoisseur at lower cost.
