Someone sent me this taken from an AN brochure. Fat Mike and truth I feel is like oil and vinegar. What % of these first do you feel to be the GOD's honest truth? JK
Advanced Nutrients has created more
Industry firsts for our growing community
than any other hydroponics company, period.
In fact, here’s your very long list of them.
Take a quick look and judge for yourself...
• First to do testing on the types of plants you
grow, and in the types of gardens you grow
in.
• First and still the only Hydroponics
company to have an all out “real” PhD
staffed research team.
• First to develop and deploy a self adjusting
pH line of base nutrients and supplements
so you won’t have to balance or adjust your
nutrients pH ever again.
• First to invent and use beneficial microbes
to balance and maintain pH.
• First to use 100% chelated micronutrients
giving you full protection over an ultra
wide pH range.
• First to use chelated macro nutrients.
• First to use a new class of pH buffering
technologies.
• First to invent pH activated and balancing
molecular technologies.
• First to do daily tissue samples in relevant
garden settings.
• First to invent sealed grow rooms for
the hydroponics community with total
environmental controls (these rooms are
known in the industry as “The Perfect
Room”).
• First to create patented engineered fertilizer
programs.
• First to give you beneficial bacteria and
fungi.
• First to give you root zone enhancers.
• First to offer you toll-free and online
technical support.
• Invented the feed chart.
• Invented the nutrient calculator.
• First and only company to offer a 100%
performance guarantee.
• First and one of the few to use hot water
manufacturing for superior dissolving of
all liquid products.
• First to use multiple element filtering of all
products.
• First hydroponics company to use bloom
cofactors, and other specialty components
that stimulate growth to get you bigger
yields.
• First to use ultra-purified reverse osmosis
water for manufacturing products. Most
hydroponics nutrient companies still use
tap water to manufacture their products.
• First to use standardized reverse osmosis
water “tuning” in all manufacturing
facilities and labs. This enables all water
used to manufacture and test with is
exactly the same anywhere in the world.
And is the same technology used by
Coca Cola, Pepsi and Anheuser-Busch to
ensure you always get the same consistent
product.
• First to use hormone-producing microbes.
• First to use beneficial enzymes.
• First to offer varietal nutrient mixture ratio
and formulation.
• First to offer email tech support,
entertainment media, and gardening
videos.
• First to create products that stimulate plant
immune systems.
• First to offer symbiotic synthetic-organic
hybrid fertilizers.
• First to make hydro-organic formulas that
work perfectly no matter what garden you
use them in.
• First to do competitive product testing.
• First to offer products in easy to use
packaging, foil pouches, and hydrofriendly
configurations.
• First to offer a total system that takes care
of your entire plant.
• First to offer beneficial microbes and other
products that protect grow rooms without
toxic effects.
• Invented carbohydrate supplements for
plants.
• First to use amino acids in bloom boosters.
• First to identify the specific ratios of macro
and micro nutrients your plants need for
bigger yields.
• First to have perfectly balanced cations
and anion based nutrients that control pH
in your growing medium.

wow.

what didn't AN create?

and, i thought mutha nature was the first to design a system for the total care of your plant.

fat mike trumps nature, now that's a laugh.

but, the dick riders are gonna find this thread & start a bonfire... good thing this isn't RUI ...because you might get fucking banned for such serious & salacious slander.

it makes me laugh when people ride & shine the AN bone... but slick adverts, rad packaging, & hype make suckers out of many.

i mean, versus AN, that bottle of botanicare liquid karma is so darn hard to open.

the first to use aminos? i was using ESU Boost Juice, (and still do) with aminos & such, 10 years ago... long before Weeds was on the tele & popularizing AN products.

they do have a couple of things (exactly 2) i use but in general you can find equivilants much cheaper in price & greater in quantity.

for example, i just scored some humic acid (powder) on ebay for $14 shipped & that will make two full gallons of super concentrate.

as far as the only company with an all ph.d staff, i am laughing my ass off.

that's why i break up the dank on my (multi degreed) paper.

america is a funny place with regard to credentials : you watch the cooking channel & you're a chef, you watch design tele & you're an instant artist, and let not talk about sports.

With all those "FIRSTS", I'm surprized that they don't list these:
First to invent Cannabis as you know it.
First to smoke cannabis as you should correctly.
First to develop trimming techniques.
First to teach about curing.

AN is a big joke!

Forgot "First to bully vendors and suppliers".

My local shop owner has just informed me he will no longer carry Botanicare.
Claims all three of his suppliers no longer carry it - not even on special order.
However, he is now carrying AN as a 'replacement' - yeah right!

You can go to any garden center buy veg, bloom and boost, all for around $50.00... OR you can easily drop 300 - 400 dollars on AN. All they do is further complicate things buy selling "must haves" to people with little or no horticultural education.
In case your wondering, the secret ingredient in most company's ferts is molasses

First to offer beneficial microbes, bacteria and fungi? Give me a freakin' break - the positive effects of bacteria, fungi and microbes has been known since Roman times.

I'd be willing to bet 90% of what is on this list is BS. How can they "invent" or be the first to use something that has existed in nature for millions of years and has been used by humans for thousands of years?

Big Mike must have mastered in creative writing. He hypes the fck outa every product, but isn't that what a business is supposed to do?
I love a FEW of their products, but until I rob Fort Know, I am never running their full line. Over $2000 for a full set of gallons, if you get everything.
1st company to get you to spend more on feeding your plants than what you make at harvest.

The thing is, is how would one go about disproving anything said? You would either have to already be familiar with all the players, or have inside information on them. How would that work, exactly?

I don't know, but it is advertising on a grand scale. I do like that their Sensical is only 2ml/gal. But damn, the price. And they keep changing things, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The PH Down is the only AN product I use. I still have the qt. I bought 3 yrs. ago!

I can't afford to run the rest of there products. I would go broke(r).

Here's the deal, and I do NOT work for AN. They have one of the few licensed facilities in the world to grow our girls. So you gotta take the non-Big Mike stuff at least into consideration. I will not pay $200 for a 2 gal set of nutes, I will buy Buy a few of their products, as I have seen a dramatic difference.
