Is general hydroponics products any good

GH is the industry standard and is what NASA uses in it's hydroponic gardens. That being said Advanced Nutrients easily trumps GH. It is made specifically for marijuana, so why use anything else?
I may try the flora series in a future grow, but right now I'm on the advanced nutrients bandwagon

check out that thread.. some decent info in it.
Not trying to start a flame war, just providing some info.... That being said, AN and GH do not differ in composition. They only differ in price. The 16 essential's are the 16 essentials, as long as they are in their respective available forms. Being "made for cannabis" is flat out bull shit. Their ratio's may be optimized for cannabis, but they are the exact same chemically. Chemistry is chemistry, and cannot be fooled, as long as the nutrients are in their available forms, they must be the exact same chemical compounds. As to which is better, is a loaded question. A grower who knows what ratio's and what specific nutrients are needed at any given time, will see the exact same results from ANY chemical ferts, because they will adjust the ratios of nutes to the plants current needs. That does not mean however, that AN automatically and without fail does it for you. I've used AN 3 part, and I found that the pH is absoultely unstable in my system, the GH is ROCK solid.
IMO: after doing many hours of research, and reading/watching everything I could an AN, I have concluded that I would rather not give my money to company who prey's on the ignorance of their clients. But this does not mean you cant get amazing results out of their products. But it does mean your wallet will be much lighter than if you just use the much cheaper and more well respected GH products.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this only holds true in sterile hydro/soilless systems. It becomes much more contingent on biological life in soil systems.
