I dont know how they can claim they have scientific testing, yet reformulate 3x in 6-7 years. Using consumers as guinea pigs errr.. 'scientific testers' doesnt seem to qualify to me.

I though Einstein couldnt balance a checkbook...

I guess I would look into who they have onboard first before I said too much..
LOL LOL double cough..:blowbubbles:
ONK! ONK! LOL LOL

In some people eyes, there is ALWAYS room for improvement, no matter how good your product may be...

If I owned a nute company, I too would hire many scientists to continually be searching for the next best thing.

LOL, how baked were you, I mean really. What does that have to do with AN being full of crap, and making shady claims?

If I owned a nute company I would put all the ingredients on the bottle, and focus more on quality plant food and less on flashy labels.

We know AN lost hornby and hornby took his name off the products. Totally different ramrod. Hornby was on board before Eds signature line. I meant who between ED or AN walked from that deal????

Found this online and have to comment on it.

According to Straumietis, these companies and several others advertise their hydroponics wares in Maximum Yield hydroponics magazine (the magazine runs and sponsors the Expo), but the magazine and its advertisers hypocritically pretend that its readers, advertisers and customers are growing cucumbers, lettuce and daisies, instead of herbal medicine sold in hundreds of medical dispensaries throughout California.

Funny what was the last time you saw any mention of weed in Rosebud except for the fuck up on the LED ad that showed weed plants. All of the AN advertising has vegetables on the ads. Pot meet kettle.

Should also adg I hate MY. Its a useless magazine with mostly ad supported articles. Man I wish Growing Edge was still printed.

I like advanced nutrients. I just recently switched to hydro from dirt so my setup is still kinda new to me but from what i have seen they offer great products for those who can afford them. I have not been able to find the same bacteria cultures in a cheaper product and from what i have seen the more beneficial bacteria you can produce the bigger roots your going to have. Its all in the roots.
That being said they are more expensive then many other companies and many places wont carry advanced nutrients because they are so open about being made to grow bud. I think their openness is a good thing because its bud i want to be growing not canna lilies or tomatoes and certain beneficial bacteria are plant specific.
I think it really just comes down to how long you have been using what you have been using. It is a little absurd to think that after using nutrients of any type once or twice you can say you have gotten the most potential out of that nutrients.
My suggestion is that if you are going to use advanced nutrients spend a good amount of time reading about their products and HOW ingredients are used by plants. Its expensive so the less experimenting the better.
I'm not sure if your an "AN Crony" as some would call it but no matter because I'm only quoting you to prove why I don't like AN, they claim plant specific bacterias/nutrients and being for the plant we all love yet they put plenty of ecto-mycorrhizae and charge up the ass for it? here's old news for AN ecto's are mainly for certain type of trees and have a high spore count... so your definitely paying more for AN but your not getting more. I hate AN because you can buy superior versions of there products for way cheaper prices, also there dirty marketing tactics for no reason(glad other companies are smart/classy enough not to take there bait).

not sure about your first question. An example of a product which they probably rape you for and give inferior would be there fulvic acid and potassium silicate that was watered down(currently using Protekt but hear good things about yellow bottle). Not only are the alternatives cheaper but more concentrated/superior.
 
I wont buy any of AN Products, cause their marketing is just insulting. They prolly have some advanced Products which you cant get from another company but still...

Just look at this Page and the Vids for pure entertainment:
http://www.growersunderground.com/blog/

Big Mike goes on and on, brabbling about Buds the Size of your Arms. Like 15 Minutes without telling any real advice. The man is a genius, in that he knows how to target customers, who are willing to buy 17 Bottles.

Also if you get half the Poeple to buy a bottle with double the margin, you still making money without actually selling much and the Production costs of some of these Products is less then their bottle.

I think the Guy who made the Text for this Vid summed it up perfectly
