I dont follow what appears to be a whole lot of people spending a great deal of time attempting to steer other away from AN. This whole thread seems to predicated an x AN employee whose actually trying to sell nute's himself. Oscar, I think might be a tad hypocritical, as you are sporting a titty avatar. I'm not exactly an AN fan boy, but damn can we just talk about nute's that work and not Big Mike or Geno or whomever the fuck else that works there? Curious though how exactly do you distance yourself from someone who owes a very large chunk of the company? Seriously though how do you guy's hear about this stuff. I read a lot and the only place ive seen it so far is on forums. Im not going to say I would buy stuff from a child rapist, in fact, I would prefer not to. I am here to research the very best nute's and grow techniques, so I can provide the very best for my patients.So Geno is coming over to baby sit your kids you OK with that right?
A company that will not distance it self from something like this is not a company I would deal with. Were not talking drinking and driving here were talking about a grown man charged with fucking a 7 year old, torn vagina in a 7 year old. Big Mike had a chance to do something about this and he failed. That shows he as the leader of the company has lost his moral compass. This just reinforces AN thinking that if they can getaway with it they will. Making excuses for this type of behavior and actions for a company CEO is incredulous and self diminishing.
I wonder what products they would distribute, considering there name? Aptus or GH?Just an update, well looks like Europe has had there fill of the Mike and Gino show. In November this year their distributor in Europe dumped them after 13 years because of the way Mike handled the Geno issue, that was the final straw. See what you can do by speaking out about things that are just WRONG.

Just FYI, I wouldn't put too much stock in that manicbotanix stuff.
The guy that runs that site goes by the name Grant Low, or Grant Mahy (depending on mood) and used to work in some kind of ancillary capacity for Advanced Nutrients. I don't want to go airing a lot of his dirty laundry, though he's already done that himself if you know where to look - I'm just not going to do it myself. The short, nice version is that he has a trouble past, things that were not in the least bit his fault, that caused his life to basically melt down many years ago when he was working with AN. By his own admission he put a lot of blame onto other people and was quite paranoid about a lot of stuff.
A buddy of mine who also used to work for AN and was there at the same time said that Grant kinda went postal when AN tried to help him through his problems and the whole thing just went pear-shaped. Not his fault, not theirs either, just one of those things. After that he basically reenacted Moby Dick with AN cast as the white whale for several years before finally coming to terms with what was really driving him and focusing his efforts there. If you check, he hasn't been active on that website or anything else related to hydroponics in over a year - because he's putting his life back on track and attacking the people actually responsible for harming him.
Anyway, it's not really my story to tell so I won't go into anymore detail than that. The point is that his website is a formulated revenge tactic based upon much earlier pain in his life and misdirected at Advanced Nutrients. Whether or not AN deserves your hate is up to you to decide, but the stuff posted on his website is at most half-truths cooked up in a dark part of his life. His whole life story, autobiography-style, is out there in blog form if you want to know everything.
I have used manicbotanix and never had a problem. What happened to the calcium acetate? I liked it for adding calcium without adding nitrogen.
Me personally,I wouldn't buy anything from sick nonse child molester.I still use AN additives. Still work for me just fine. Still haven't found better. Although I never used 23 products.... did they even make that many lol. I personally could careless about a personal matter of a nutrient company. I mean we buy nutes to grow plants if something is working why would anything else matter? Now that ph bullshit they made was just laughable. But people buy it so....
