How expensive is Advanced Nutrients? Really?

This is AN right?
https://www.advancednutrients.com/catalog/us/product_info.php?products_id=52&categories_id=22

28$ for 1L sensi stuffs about 9 miles from my apt
or 30$ plus shipping from AN?

Which of these do I/we actually need?

i would like to add something to this post.

i am neither for or against AN products , that being said i do believe that AN products are not competitively priced and AN charge too much for their products to even be contemplated by the personal grower.

the reason we grow is to save money on buying our beloved herb we the grower don't want to be spending $740 per grow just on nutes.

Come on AN price your products accordingly and maybe more hobby growers would choose them.

Any of the AN growers have a test case of using the AN lineup side by side against a cheaper line up?

My first grow I decided on AN but I went with bare minimum (sensi grow a/b , sensi bloom a/b, big bud and b52. I got good results even though I did burn them a little, one plant yielded 1/2 a pound, the others about 5 zips apiece.My second and current grow I spent a little more money and picked up some connoisuer bloom a/b, voodoo juice , overdrive and bud candy. I will certainly be looking for an alternative to voodoo juice because its priced at 107 dollars a liter, it gets cheaper if you buy huge bottles of it but then you're spending 400 dollars at a time and you need at least 5 items. there are plenty of cheaper versions of basically the same thing, for instance last night I was reading something about septic tank cleaner as a substitute for voodoo juice I think :/

I was shocked at the price of the additives advanced sells. I'm on my first grow and am also using the advance sensi line but because I am running low on funds, I have been looking for ways to get around SOME of the additives hopeing that I can afford the full line after this first grow. I'm using molasses, vitamin fortified urine, and epsom salt for instance. At first I was like URInE? Really??? But I have read nothing but good things about a 1/30-1/40 Solution. I tone it down to a 1/100 solution tho, because it's kinda gross, and who wants to smoke piss? Lol. Well I didn't till I read about it. Now I think it's kinda cool for my plants to have a real part of me in them. I have my bled, sweat and pissed in my resivoir, and my plants seem to thrive on it in my 64 site aero/nft system.

I have a good friend of mine that just paid 175k for a Porsche 911 hmmmm to me that is WAY to expensive for a car, and when I tell him so he just says, "Dude it's A Porsche!"

So Dudes and Dudettes......... It's Advanced Nutrients!

Is there any reason why there are so many AN haters out there??? I am currently on a grow with AN. I have used canna exclusively before that. I honestly do not think I am paying that much more for AN than I did for canna, the only difference is there is a ton more to choose from from AN, and sifting through what you actually "need" can be difficult. I went with the sensi grow and bloom, big bud, bud candy, and kushie kush. I guess I will see what difference, if any there is.

I haven't been able to figure that out. The amount of "never tried, never will" people confuses me too, since I have tried it and know that it works. I mean if it didn't work and everyone agreed that it didn't, I could understand following that advice. But even people that hate on Advanced Nutrients usually agree that it does work really well.

The fingers in the ears "na-na-na-na-na-na" attitude is disturbing. I mean what else in life are these guys missing out on because they just won't entertain the idea that their pre-conceived notions could be in error?

I used to passionately hate all kinds of squash when I was a kid. Wouldn't even dream of trying a bite, it didn't matter how much you tried to convince me to. That actually persisted into my early adulthood. Finally I decided to test my conviction and I found out that I actually enjoy most squashes. More than half my vegetable garden now is dedicated to growing several different varieties.

Mealtime is much more enjoyable for me now because that one event caused me to call into question countless other prejudices I held against certain foods, allowing me to realize how wrong (or, occasionally, right) my thinking was. I now enjoy a much wider selection of dishes and a greatly improved quality of diet.

AN is ridicolous

I just spent $500, and i bought all the smaller bottles of products, however i did the full line

Its not worth it if it only lasts me 1 grow

If thats the case, im moving back to foxfarm

Unless i yield tons of pot im not gonna buy it again

Ah, this discussion never grows old. Oh, wait. YES IT DOES.

Here's the thing, if I used Foxfarm, I wouldn't go around telling people to use it unless I believed in it. And if I hated Foxfarm, I also wouldn't go around telling people that they suck.

I guess I'm just not a hater at all - but it's clear that some people are paid, I mean, are passionate about saying that AN sucks. Tell people what works and then give advice on how to make their grows better. I mean, I want to know if I'm messing up my nute levels and my techniques.

But, unless I ask otherwise, I don't really care what nutes people hate.

And when you go back to the title of the post, boys and girls, it only talks about whether AN is expensive. Not whether they suck.

Honestly, the person who began the post could have just gone to the Advanced site to find out the prices, right? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

My guess is that the person who started the thread probably was paid to say that AN is expensive. Cute. And (surprise surprise) all the haters are suddenly on this board.

Coincidence? Probably not. To all the real folks like me on this thread, use your head and think about why people are being so passionate about hating. It's probably because they're paid to do it.

Let me start out by saying that I am NOT Big Mike nor an employee of AN...just before someone jumps the gun and calls me out (sad that I feel I have to do that).

For my current grow, I decided to go with an ebb and flow system so I thought that this would be a great time to try out the AN line. I was a die hard Fox Farm dirtbag until now. Just waiting for the seedlings to grow so I can sex them for mother duty.

I found a website that offered discounted packages and decided to try the "Connoisseur package". For $450 I got the following 1L bottles shipped to my house:
Sensi grow A &B
Connoisseur A & B
Big Bud
Bud Factor X
B52
Rhino Skin
SensiZym
Bud Ignitor
F1
Overdrive

Is $450 a lot to spend on nutes? Yes but my reason for growing isn't only to save money on buying buds. My reason for growing is to grow the best cannabis I can possibly grow and the money I spend is not a factor as long as I see positive results. Could I grow the same buds using GH? Probably, but it has yet to be seen and GH hasn't exactly jumped at Big Mikes Challenge. So unless someone is willing to do the tests, the AN hate needs to stop.

Advanced is has expensive has you want to make it be advanced make many products same has all the nute manafactures that are not nessessary unless you run into a problem.You can easy pull 6/9 ounce dry by just useing advanced a and b sensi pro veg then flipping to sensi pro bloom a and b.But i would advice useing a pk spike at week 4 this will no dought make a great improvement in the final yeild.But there is the lovers of advanced like me and the haters but normaly the haters have not tried the stuff because it is by far the best cannabis feed on the market without any dought.But you realy have to stick to the advanced feed sced to get the best out of it all though saying that i have added has much has 10 ml per litre of water to my plants during veg and they loved it.then followed straight on wih 10 ml per litre of bloom from go and pulled 9 ounce dry.but this was just a test run the same results can be had by strating them on 5ml per litre from clone and build up to 7.5 ml about 3 week into veg.Then follow the same feed routine over to flower with a product like buddy at week 4.But i veg for a min of 6 week from clone and flower for 10 the strain blues............tyke.....................

can you post a link to that site please.

I didn't post it the first time because I didn't want to sound like I was advertising but here you go! Hopefully others can save a few dollars on some AN nutes.

I agree with the guy that mentioned that AN should fix their bottle design already... We pay a premium for the so called best, and you can't even get an airtight seal on the cap? How the hell can I "vigourously" shake the Iguana Juice before use as recommended when it comes out of the bottle just by shaking it? And the shit doesn't exactly smell great either.

Ok I am the guy that started this thread...And if you tink I started this thread to garner more advanced users ...WTF... I will say it again..... I started this thread so that someone can make an informed decision BEFORE dropping 500 buck on a set of nutes ( YOU DON"T NEED TO HAVE ALL OF IT OR ANY OF IT) is there better nutes out there? In my opinion... No AN is the best. But do yo get the best bang for your BUCK? Fuck NO ...... I will use the car analogy again...

DOes it really matter if yo buy a Porsche or an Escort? They will both get you where you need to go. one a little faster and you get bragging rights by default. The other is practical. So is AN practical? fuck no the aren't. DO I like them yes will I still use them? Yes. Do I feel like a douche for using them? FUck no. My recomendation is : if you can afford them then use them, but if you fall more on the side of practicality, then drive your escort....

And for the record I think that big Mike has priced the NUtes right, for the amount of advertising and research done Advanced nutes can charge WHAT ever they want and AN lovers will still use them.

To the AN haters out there ....

If you don't like them then don't use them.
If you don't like how Big mike runs his company then don't use them
If they are to expensive for you then don't use them
Do you see the reocurring theme here? DOn't use them

I could care less what ANY of you put in your plants I won't be smoking any of your shit anyways ( and I am sure you grow the best weed on the planet good job. )

OH , AND FOR CHRIST"S SAKE FIX THE FUCKING BOTTLES- WHEN I BUY A PREMIUM PRODUCT I WANT A 100% PREmIUM PRODUCT. The bottle design is bad form, bad form indeed.


OH and every one should stop drinking coke products, they have way to many to choose from and shasta products are much cheaper... Sure they don't tastes as good as Coke but they are cheaper and they will quench your thirst. SO FUCK COKE ( ya I moonlight as a Coca Cola exec as well)

It's hard to rationalize spending the money on AN to people who use their own urine in their nute solution when there are litterally a TON of other superior products on the market they could be using for very little money.

"I could care less what ANY of you put in your plants I won't be smoking any of your shit anyways"

And for the reason I mentioned above, I completely agree with your statement lerellion.

OMG this is so hilarious...
1. Yes the damn bottles needs to be fixed, this a must.
2. For those who want to use AN products, start with the base nutes and work your way up as I did.
3. The prices aren't that bad. I was going to do both AN(Hydro) And FoxFarm(Soil), When I realized FF base nutrients was more expensive! That being said if you want to use AN shop around to find the best price.
4. This is serious... Stop bashing on the other products and use what you feel is best for YOU, because the only way to learn is to learn the hard way! Has anyone ever told you, you get what you pay for!!!
5. Hell No... I don't work for AN, wish I did(I'll be getting paid. lol) just kidding.

HI folks

i just thought i would ask this question as i cant seem to find my answer.

I am contemplating using the AN hobbyist range which includes
VOODOO JUICE
BIG BUD
B52
OVERDRIVE

These all in 1litre bottles will run me around £140.

Now i have tried and tried and tried to find a grow and bloom formula from AN specific for COCO. I do believe they used to make MONKEY JUICE but none of the others GROW MICRO BLOOM CONNESUER etc arent ok for coco.

You see my dilema?

I want to be able to try the AN as all you Americans seem to rave on about it and i have read about the ph perfect system in an issue of ROSEBUD magazine it seems quite interesting. Granted i dont like the added expense but i am willing to try it.


Can any of you AN freaks help me out?

Would i be able to carry on using my original Grow and bloom nutes and just add the hobbyist range to increase my yield?

I would like an answer so that i can make the necessary purchases.

I will also be asking AN about this issue.
