Growers Edge and Maximum Yield don't like AN because they are the only company that openly advertised and promoted their product to be used solely for marijuana, no other cross application for other agriculture(at least in the beginning). None of those prublications want anyting to do with open endorsements of the marijuana industry, even though both publications started iout as underground marijuana mag, one was actually called the Sinsemilla Times or somethinng close to it. When the feds started hittin everybody they wanted to set themselves as far away from the illigal marijuana industry as possible. High Times will take them because it is a weed mag and they are not trying to front like the others are..
When it gets right down to it and look at usage over cost, AN is really no more expensive than any of the other premium nutes out there and they do work. I know people will argure the cost issue but I have done again and again side by side and there just isn't that much difference....check it against Canna,
Bio Bizz, Aurora,
House and Garden, or Humboldt, you will probably find it is a little cheaper than those if your being honest. Hell a quart bottle of
Hygrozyme is over $50 now.
No other company will take them up their challenge because they can't win...that's why Big Mike(marketing juggornaut) is either put up or shut up..AN really spends the money they make, and it is alot, on securing only the top quality refined minerial sources, scientist, and botanist to make them the front runner in the biz...no takers on the challenge...what does that tell you?????
Show me some other company where their customers are consistantly gettin 2lbs per 1k, not any....
AN has diversified alot, a few years ago they actually got into the health suppliment business and are moving real aggressively into that market from what I understand as well as private label production of goods and sevices for a few different industries..
AN is a machine on the move...
