I have used AN line & use some of thier products like Iguana Juice its few fert with the Igredients It's cleaner to run (even though I can make my own fert Iguana Juice Grow & Blooms not hard just alittle messy & smelly,why I stoped )) I still make tea from Alfala ,worm poo but add RawAmino,Fulvic,Humic Acids tea,BatPoo,kelp etc. Personally 'Iguana Bloom',has aliitle to much alfalfa,cause's to much stretching in 1st 2wks of flowering,even with trying different combos-HP/MH bulbs,alfafla is great stuff but will cause strecthing.
As for other AN products,we-ll they are still good nutrient line(some), but not as advertised.I try to be neutral & open minded,but as for AN & MIKE, he's a FULL TIME CROOK when it comes to his advertisments with intentional miss imformation,taking advantages of little or no respect for U & regulation to labeling and advertisment.He uses over expressive word like "DRIPPING, HUGE,ENORMOUS,ETC.Tries to sell U thier whole line,like UR plants couldn't live without them, its BS!! There is plently nut that are just as good or better on some at half the cost and without those bogus claims. I read thier
ballast add, yes his,syn wave are better,but is he telling the truth about his ballalast, time will tell. Plus I don't know of any 100khz bulbs on the market,yet. Sure mike will come up with one & stating hz should match the ballast, (which is true.) he will come up with a bulb stating all kinds bugus claims "one of a kind!!""MUST Have!!".I GROW UP in a agrculture/ranch
home in calif with cattle,sheep,couple hundred mixed fruit tree's,green houses.Grow upin 4H & FFA (Future Farms America) &
garden ever since & I have never seen such huge claims on fertilizers as AN does.I would have been using some of thier
products without bougus lie's.This has been over 10yrs, but for 2 yrs straight(had to find out for myself) Iused whole AN line along with another group of plants using different products and I can tell U achievements can be reached with none AN nutrients-PERIOD!! Yes,Money back guarantee,so what, its important to have a good relationship with ur Hydro stores,when U
keep returning things,they arn't going to like U very much, or pay return shippment if was ordered. An knows this, & some stores have "all sale final policy". Its about supply & demand,look at Mag ballast now,price on them dropped big times-e-ballast are thing now. The more U buy from AN the more bogus they get & less ratio & pay more, Look at Connissuer UR now
paying more for 2 times less-AN calc OLD VS NEW. MIKE & AN are truely a CON MAN, CAR SALES MEN are not even in the same leaque as AN but cost passed to us. Mike stirred up alot of crap with other manufactor's &talking smack, he didn't have to go there,but he took it there. Who out there been growing 10+ yrs and can say they still use AN's full Line & AN only or even 5+yrs. U can get same results using Alaska Fish Fert?gal=$8.00 & SuperTea mix by Guano Company/gal=$24.00,mix half&half get bright green happy plants, I promise they will Love U for it,they both come in flower fert. I have alteranated with this and Iguana, looks the same, I assure U!!(Alaska Fert is alittle fishy smelling for me.)
I placed AN Calc, (may have to cut & paste-direct to site)
Compare Connoisseur-old calculator VS new amounts UR having to add 3 time more then on new VS old & UR paying more
for less OLD 5-6ml per US gal NEW 15ML per us gal (3.8L)
A= 4.9-0-3.6 or 4-0-4 3-0-0
B= 1.8-5.1-6.4 1-5-6 2-4-10
This is the new calculator for Connoisseur check the difference
If anybody is interested in making home made Iguana Juice,I'll will check back,& if Yes, I will write the materials and ratio's (its exact) cant take credit for it,found some time ago from a different forum,but have used it, I brew worm tea fresh not premade has alot more alive species& never run fresh worm tea through a pump (U can-but will hurt UR total Numbers& collected sugars clusters)
Thats my piece on AN & Mike & thier advertising, hope I didn't offend anybody.
Peace
