Hi everyone, this is the AZ Growshop Asia team. We stock the full Advanced Nutrients 8th Generation line in Thailand, and the question we hear most is simple: “Which bottle goes in which week?” Here is the full Advanced Nutrients 8th Gen video, followed by a plain map of the line.

What is in the 8th Gen line
Advanced Nutrients describes 8th Gen as a new platform, not a reformulation. The base is a 2-part powder, Cultivator Series 2 (CS2), with five liquid additives around it.
| Product | What it is (per Advanced Nutrients) | When it is used |
|---|---|---|
| CS2 Prime | Base nutrient, 13-0-0, calcium nitrate based | Base feed with Push; every week except the last two weeks of flowering |
| CS2 Push | Base nutrient, 0-11-24 plus magnesium and sulfur | Base feed with Prime; every week |
| RSA (Rapid Silicic Acid) | Soluble silicon, 13% | Once a week, growth and flowering |
| BGR (Bigger Buds) | Bloom booster, 0-1-3 | From week 2 of flowering (week 3 or later on long cycles) |
| SB1 (Sensi Boost 1) | Flowering additive; no guaranteed analysis published | Throughout flowering |
| BFX (Bud Factor X) | No NPK; willow bark extract 1%, magnesium 0.5%, surfactant | Once a week |
| OVR (Overdrive) | Calcium 6%, zero nitrogen | Last two weeks before the flush |
For doses, use the official 8th Gen feeding chart for your EC level. We recommend the Regular EC chart: Feeding Charts in Thai, Vietnamese & English | AZ Growshop Charts get updated, so we don’t copy the numbers here.
Three things that save a crop
- pH depends on your growing medium. Check the range for your medium on the official 8th Gen feeding chart.
- Don’t mix chart formats. Some charts are written for a liquid stock solution (mL), others for dry weight (g). A stock solution of about 120 g per litre holds about 0.12 g per mL, so 33.3 mL ≈ 4.0 g. Reading one as the other puts you off by about eight times.
- 8th Gen is its own program. The 3-part Cultivator Series and the pH Perfect line are still on sale, but don’t mix schedules between lines. If you are switching a running crop to 8th Gen, follow Advanced Nutrients’ official conversion guidance.

Over to you: if you have moved a crop from an older line to 8th Gen, what did you adjust first: your EC target, your pH, or the additive schedule?
