USA view on Advanced Nutrients

[ukbigbud]

Hi all im from the uk and want to know the view on these nutrients. People in the uk think they are over hyped nutrients like the whole line up. Has anyone used connoisseur , bud factor x etc?? I didnt know where to post it.

many thanks

What up. Ive used most of their products. Its good stuff, probably overhyped but I do like the fact they research on mj. Not using them anymore, I didnt get the 15% guranteed from switching my old nutes, so saving a buck and getting the same. As much as saving a buck, I also did it out of spite. Posting their calculator for the phppm perfect formula and not even putting it on the market was a headscratcher. And not even letting you know it was for that, just a calculator was ridiculous in my view. Also, the b-52 and Overdrive would never last before breaking down. After numerous attempts at getting the answer why, I finally am told the carrier(truck service) let it freeze and that is why it was useless after 50-70% of the bottle was used. But, dont get me wrong, if you use it and use it right, most certainly you will love your mj, Im just off the hype right now and will be for some time. I can't worry about whether my nute company can find a solid delivery service, that is their job. Peace

[mastacheeser]

im hoping you wernt trying to avoid a bunch of AN bashing, cuz thats prob what your going to get here
100% satisfation gaurantee my ass
they stick that shit on the hydro store owners every time they can
im never happy with the prices but some of their products are killer
with that said,
advanced can suck my balls

never mind their product and/or the hype.
the company owners are backstabbing, libelous thugs (hint: when your *children need personal bodyguards that go back and forth from school with their nannies, that says a lot about your business practises). they've been known to use intimidation, blackmail, and their ties with various OC's to hang their employees and wholesale clientele out to dry, quite often without pay. i've known one chemist who, upon requesting his final paycheque, had one of the most notorious thugs in the area show up on his doorstep on their behalf, instead. one thing for certain is that their top priority isn't to increase your yield/quality/success, in fact, the shittier you do, the more of their garbage you might invest in. (i refuse to believe that under- and unpaid chemists are creating cutting-edge formulae.)
they are a shameful BLOT to our industry here, the only reason they're still in business is because they've ridden the BC cannabis industry's coattails and the rest of the world doesn't know what complete scheisters they are.

hope this helps.

Helped me. And the boycott continues.........

 

[Donk Frog]

Some of their stuff is awesome, but some of its crap, just like every other company out there, find out what works best through trial and error

 

[trusmoker]

its a company there main aim is to make money not friends lol i use there stuff u either love em or hate em an im about half way to hating them haha
peace ts

 

[HeLLMuTT]

I don't think AN does anything special that strong genetics and constant correct care do themselves...

But glowing spiders and rhinoceroses are pretty sweet!!!

lol

Much better and cheaper stuff out there IMVHO.

 

[Stoner Smurf]

I use AN pH up and down. It's cheap and concentrated, which goes against AN's mantra. Everything else they sell seems to be overpriced and overhyped. I use 6 different nutrients and it costs me like $30 a grow. If I used AN I'd be spending 10x that easily. On a side note Dyna-Gro is straight money.

 

[ElGringoLoco]

I've had the opportunity to run numerous line-ups, including AN products, and it ranks very low on my list, when considering all the major factors, price, ease of use, yield, end product quality, etc.

Being a lazy hydroponic grower, I've found that Cutting Edge Solutions knocks pretty much every other line-up out of the game. I haven't checked pH in over a year, I don't check ppm, I don't even flush and rinse my reservoir ever 2 weeks, just fill with water every 3-5 days and feed every 2 weeks; plants stay green, healthy, grow huge, and flower profusely. On top of these wonderful properties, this company is also a small, American based business in California that have been developing their formula for a specific crop for many years and it shows. Their line-up is also one of the most economical to run, granted I run my units always between 1/4 and 1/2 strength, so I get even more mileage for my dollar.

As a farmer who has been doing this for more years than I'd care to count, I'd recommend this line-up to anyone confident they will be more than happy with the final results.

You sold me. Ill be trying it out soon. AN ph up and down for sure. Great stuff. A friend of mine grew a strain outdoors two seasons ago and he asked him what was its name, and he said ElGringoLoco. When we puffed it, ElGringoLoco became a classic in my small town circle. Good ole days. Im all for small business and sending my money that direction, thanks EGL, looking forward to trying them out.

It won't disappoint and their customer support is top notch. And note, you will never need pH up/down with CES; they are self buffered and need zero adjustment.

Grow Green, Grow Strong!

i use canna, an, botinicaire, fox farm, and humbolt nutrients. i've tried many products and i must say an is superior in the canna biz. i mean u don't become one of the biggest by selling crap there goes ur repeat custys. results a friend got growing same clones avery long time ago changed me over before that i dissed em hard for paying 300 for the 2+ package. but when i seen how healthy his clones were and garden just rockin i figured meh we'll wait till final product which was superb but i got slightly better yield numbers but id take the quality of an crop first. unfortunately over the years frinds and myself found discrepancies with their feed chart, nute calc, and some products weren't as labelled but that last one i heard happens often to many brands. just my 2c. connie is great hammerhead great, carboload great, sweet leaf great, an mother earth teas r great, wet betty is great but cheaper versions are out there.some stuff def stay away from they are guilty of selling 2 sometimes 3 products that are almost exactly the same relabeled.

I like AN myself, I know I'm a minority, but I have had good results with AN. I don't run the full line up, but I do use their base and bloom boosters. I don't see where I PAY TOO MUCH.

example: I have a buddy who lost his whole room not too long ago because his base nutes were defective. He went out and bought Sensi A & B and bitched about paying more. However his next room harvested great. What makes more sense? Paying less and losing a room or paying more and having a solid crop to take to market.

I'm sure there are nute lineups out there that don't have the hype that AN does, that cost less and perform as well or better. I went with AN for a few reasons. They are the only company out there that is MMJ specific. Big Mike straight up posted on the internet that H&G's Roots Excelurator was BETTER than Juicy Roots and pulled Juicy Roots from the shelves. AN has posed a challenge to any nutrient company to beat them out in a side by side competition with a million dollars going to the winner.....yet no one takes them up on it?

I'm sure AN has had some nasty business practices, do you think GH or Sunlight Supply hasn't? It's Crime and Politics with these guys and at the end of the day all they really care about is the bottom line. That being said, if they sucked so bad......they wouldn't be in business.

On another note. I will soon be trying out Heavy 16. They are in my "backyard" so to speak and I like keeping my money local.

 

[roboticucus]

what combo's are people using. it seem's not all people use the products stated on there chart but other an products, ie carboload. and they dont mention adding the h1 and f2 in the chart. do u add this anyway?

 

[KAL EL]

My buddy in Florida just did a grow using the new ph perfect formula. He wont stop talking about how good the stuff is. This guy knows his shit, been growing for many years. He almost has me talked into trying it out.

 

[Illmind]

a lot of shit factors in, my advice find some keeper cuts and try diff things to dial em in whatever works best go with that. one prob about an is they do have too many prod but honestly i've yet to here someone i kno personally clain an is garbage, in fact once it's used it's a wrap. i miss the an forums imo that was the best place to get an info. good luck, if u wanna know some of their good products that will get u through to harvest then holla.

 

[mastacheeser]

the stuff def works
if i didnt they woulda gone outa business
they down side is they bend you over and fuck you good at the cash register
i got gangbanged by advanced nutrients, atami bloombastic and flower dragon recently
start keeping track of a cost per g on ur harvest and you wont be using advanced
