Screw Sunlight and Hydrofarm. These two are the whores of the industry that are scared that something might actually work better and take their products off the shelves. Nice work Mike, cant wait to see someone step up.

They dont call it connoisseur for nothing. Ive had the pleasure of spreading the 2+ program to a few friends who were hooked on GH but after they saw my results, well you know. Cant wait to get my hands on the ph perfect program and save all that time wasted balancing ph. Cant thank you guys enough between Remo, Big Mike, Eric, Tech Mike and everyone at Advanced for all the great info and fantastic nutes. Keep up the good work.

Maybee advanced nutrients is better because it is a smaller company. Hope you dont buy them out. Not accepting donation money is unforgivable. Please try to expose that further. Most all people I know swear by your product. I would use it exclusivly if you had a substitute for Liquid Karma, Zone, magical,and budswell. My plants love your stuff. Keep on fighting.

Isn’t it about time someone put a good rant out there? I personally, can’t speak against all of the companies listed because they have surprisingly helped our society, but HydroFarm refused to help our society unless they could personally come take it over and make it a big propaganda scheme and Technaflora..Let’s just get it out there.. They’re assholes. Thanks Big Mike!

Nice, you are rock. i like powder 2 part systems with bud enhancers added. does advance make a powder. and can i be a judge for taste and medical relief?
it is nice that Nova Scotia kicked the conservatives in the nut as i think they only have 1 and its rather small lol. now if they canned harper{friend of G Bush}, Canada can start towards freedom again.

Gooooo Big Mike!!!

Gotta say, I think you’re the bomb and I love your products. I am very sorry to get an inkling of how hard the industry is making it for you and I hope that someone takes you up on your challenge, though I expect they’ll all pussy out and continue to play their money games as that’s what they seem to be best at.

Keep making your awesome nutrients though, and I’ll keep using them. Thanks for your integrity. That is a rare thing in this world and just makes me that much more devoted to your company.

Keep it up and know that there are a ton of people behind you who love what you do and love how you do it.

Cheers!!!

I wish i was there too see all of this, I’m glad to see such a wonderful improvement in cannabis cultivation through your product which has been profoundly bullied for years. The research you made is now paying back, I’m glad you did this and now people can acknowledge better products to have better harvest. I am a new guy in this type of cannabis world I have been on you tube learning through so many videos on how to grow, how to make a grow room, how to calculate electricity and wattage for the lights, anything you name it and thats how i came across advanced nutrients. The only problem is I live in America, new jersey and its illegal to grow or harvest and in reality i wanted it for myself, have a little lab, or “My office” lol. why not just buy it? well I like to have he best and sometimes to get what you want you have to do it yourself. I am a big fan of cannabis, once I am done with college and finish med school and become a doctor if by then I am not a professional baseball player cause i do keep myself healthy and I have always been an athletic type of guy, best believe by then somehow I am going to have my “office” lol and try to be the best grower for myself and others. I hope to see your business progress over the years.

Wow, I am really looking forward to how they respond to Big Mike’s challenge. I would be suprised if they take it, because if they were exposed as second class; that would be terrible for business. Lets face it, there are people who do what they do for money, and there are people who do what they do because they sincerly enjoy it. I’m thinking the emotion exhibited on this video was because Mike enjoys what he does.
With all that being said
“Lets get it on” or growing or whatever lol!!!!
Chad Cook said

am June 23 2009 @ 3:22 pm

Big Mike your the man, it takes some big huevos to put up a challenge like that.
Fuck those other companies, and what are they fucking thinking, do they honestly beleive people are going to spend hundereds of dollars on their inferior nutrient crap to grow a fucking tomato! They are idiots and I don’t blame you, I would be pissed too. I’m doing my part, because I’m your biggest advocate. I live in Humbolt County and dam near everyone grows here. I’m telling everyone including the hydroponic stores that don’t carry your products about the amazing results I get when using Advanced Nutrients. And if they want my business and everyone I’m turn on to Advanced, they better start carrying your line. I’m screaming it from the highest Sequoia “Advanced is the absolute best nutrient line,” or is it a Sequoia. Like you, I’m a big guy, 6’5″ and two hundred and well it doesn’t really matter, but my point is I’m getting, not just one but three or four tops per plant that are bigger than the length of my forearm and hand combined. In a word “unreal”,I love your products as well as your web site and Hydroponic Secrets with the E man. Thanks for everything Chad Cook 5150.

Kepp up the great work Big Mike! Any recent products being discontinued over that? I had one hydro store say the F-1 golden honey was un attainable currently, wasn’t sure if this was hand in hand with that.

go get them Big Mike, I look forward to seeing the compatition step up but I don’t think they will because they will think there already in the winners seat. Those good old boys have a manopaly and I’m honestly hoping your going to squash them.
good luck friend
Chad J said

am June 23 2009 @ 5:14 pm

FUCK YEA Big Mike!
Don’t take any shit off those assholes, the AG store I work @ is also feeling the pinch from NGW/ AKA Sunlight supply.
We have been forced to order our products through another store, because another store that spends more money told them not to sell to us,,
F*cking b&stards!!!
And it’s becoming harder & harder to compete with the prices of the “WALMART” of the hydro industry.
Ian from Nova Scotia said

am June 23 2009 @ 5:16 pm

Good for you Mike!! I really don’t think that the competition has the “nuts” to accept your challenge. (Despite the fact that they have been kicking yours for years.) They have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that we will ever see “The great grow off”. I do, however, feel your pain and frustration with lies and half truths which are being told about you and your company. That reaction is one of fear. The “Old Boys Club” cannot compete with the truth, and they fear it. Again, good on you. A legitimate, million dollar challenge such as you have made will only give your nuts more pain – FROM SWELLING TO THE SIZE OF WATERMELONS!!!
Regards,
Ian

BIG MIKE, TAKE UM’ON & KICK ASS. I HAVE PROBLEMS IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA GETTING CERTAIN ITEMS IN YOUR PRODUCT LINE AND I AM TOLD BY THE HYDRO STORE PERSONNEL THAT THE “OTHER” NUTE MANUFACTURERS ARE “PUTTING THE HEAT ON THEM” TO NOT CARRY YOUR FULL LINE. I PERSONALLY HAD TO GO TO FOUR (4) DIFFERENT HYDRO STORES TO BUY MY NUTE SUPPLY. RESULTS AFTER TEN (10) WEEKS OF VEG & BLOOM ARE ASTRONOMICAL. DON’T WEAKEN & KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

awesome challenge Mike although i doubt that anyone will step up to the plate, i do have a suggestion for you. since you have a sortt of cult following, and stores cant or wont carry your products (i drive 4hrs to get mine) well worth it though, why not sort of deputize people and let your customers sell your products. give me a ball cap and a t shirt, and i will sell out of my trunk or at the local flea market. just a thought keep up the good work
Casey Roberson said

am June 23 2009 @ 9:18 pm

Hey Mike

Do them dirty, and kick them while they’re down, the good ole boys, deserve to be taught a lesson, lets see if they have the heart to step up to an ass kickin. Great Job Mike and put a foot on thier neck for us little guys, out here being used and abused by money hungry companys.
Armando said

Scott Carmichael said

am June 24 2009 @ 2:37 am

Maybe look into the laws regarding monopolising industries. Not sure if/how they might be applicable, but sounds as if that’s what’s going on. The challenge will go unanswered: “they” (referring to manufacturers and suppliers)dodge any and all acknowledgement of cannibus, and will simply continue to hide. I can tell you of multiple times I’ve seen your product appear in a catalog, only to be told “it will not be carried or sold by any reputable garden supplier” when I called to order it.
The fact is that Advanced products (the ones I use at least) have proven themselves to be the best I’ve found (GH, Techniflora, Humboldt, and some others included). As a user of AN products from the cotyledon to the last drop of ash falls, nothing provides the quality or quantity I’ve seen so far, and I have only used the basics of your program.
I’d like to suggest to all of us who believe in and use the products Big Mike and his crew of rocket scientists provide, to boycott any and all suppliers that refuse to carry AN products. We are a sleeping giant worldwide, and we need to start spending our dollars to help keep our few supporters rolling.

Sincerely,
Scott Carmichael

its too bad it cost more to order and ship your product than it does to buy it at the hydro shop. I would love to cut out that middle man. My shop carries most of your products but not all.

Bwahahahahaha………..You go Mike. It’ll never happen, they don’t have the nads. I switched from GH years ago and I’ve never looked back. I’m more concerned about bill C-15 at the moment. They’re plunging us back into the dark ages. It’s time for all the apathetic users to stand up and be counted.

well big mike I know what ur giong through because I’ve had it done to me, I’ve even had my products copied and put in the market 50% off just to try to sink me , you have a bigger problem ur products aren’t competitive, I mean in the prices, not the production or quality they’re the best. The fight u are havig isn’t a sprint in about 5 more years u’ll have them by the balls , my advice is stay strong and if ur like me, the more they try to bring u down, the bigger that u should get right big Mike and rember u produce the Ferraris in the growing industry.
Alan said

am June 24 2009 @ 1:11 pm

Way to go, Mike. I have to shop at a hydro place in the Tampa bay area and they are scared to carry your stuff so they sell only the Canna and other garbage that doesn’t even work on our crops. I have called up GH and these other people and ask them why the pretend about what the nutrients are for and they said that marijuana cultivators are scum and that they only want to sell to good people, not me. I say the same thing, boycott all those other companies and the stores if they are not on our side, screw em. What I know is that the other companies seem ashamed of their customers and their nutrients are inferior. I am on the Connoisseur system and it rocks.

Thanks Mike, Thank you sooo much for taking the stance on these bastards who want to control an dominate industries. In the late 80s and early 90s America became corportate, big fish eating small fish. Now its different. The little guys are starting to kick ass. You have my full support.
I use Advanced Connesuir carbo big bud b52 bud blood, no matter the strain your products make a vast improvement.
I have ms and no legal lic. due to past crimial convictions and no doctors that will support me, Living in Canada, Ontario Toronto, Im so disgusted at the way the industry turns its back on assisting individuals. After you kick there asses Mike any way you can assist in creating a movement in forcing the Canadian government in making doctors support the programs and stop turning a blind eye on the people who really need medical marijuana.

I want to help you any way that I can, here in Toronto Im sure that there is something I can do to help in your campaign to show these greedy corporate assholes that the people mean business.
Also, why cant you get the contract to grow for Health Canada in stead of the shitty stuff they let out the door from Rock Gardens whose product is full of heavy metals and tastes like bush weed grown in Arizona .

Again thank you for offering a challenge to those stiffs and have you gotten any responses from them. Can I help you promote your challenge in anyway?
You have my email please respond and I want to join your army of loyal soliders to fight a war that can and will be won by the underdog. Thanks again

WOW!….im speachless. you just answered a boatload of questions i had concerning these great products. i just recently acquired the 2009 catalogs for htdrofarm & sunlight supply(that added to my confusion about these products), when i got this e-mail i was so upset and disappointed for you bro. all i got to say is; i use your TOP OF THE LINE #1 PRODUCTS and they are indeed the best! thanks for everything you do for this arising and amazing culture. I know you will emerge on top. keep fighting the good fight, as we all stand strong behind you, in supporting you in everything your excellent research and work does for all.

We need T-Shirts! We need Ball Caps! We need Wallpapers and bumper stickers and keychain fobs. We need li’l alarm clocks with Advanced Nutrient logo on the face plate. I want a Big Fat Juicy Bud coffee mug!!

If you’re gonna have a War…you gotta have the Propaganda!! Psych Warfare. Guerrilla Warfare man!! Win their hearts…and their ass will follow!

Really want to get a storm going?

Try a NASCAR Sponsorship! That’ll empty their sails.

Or be one of the biggie contributors to the Cannibus Cup (et al) smoke-offs.

Might even set up a college grant program for star Chemists and Horticulturalists.

Have available to your customers (me) an avenue (email address?) to indicate I had been to a Hydro Shop asking for your product and was turned away. With that ability to obtain specific shop name/address, you can initiate one-on-one PR efforts to get them to see your side of the affair. Especially when you remind them that a potential customer was ready to spend hundreds on nutrients…and probably will do so…but not with them, because the customer specifically wants AN – not just any old nutrient. Hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars, just walked out their door.

Dennis said

am June 25 2009 @ 1:37 pm

Mike,
As a amateur and now as a professional, I use your products for one reason, they work! A little higher cost upfront has always translated to bigger and tastier crops. I used same clones as my buddy, he used botanicare line, I used A.N. His were crap mine were amazing. Same conditions, he swears by A.N. now.
I run MediHarvest.com, online Medical Marijuana Collective in CA. Any testimonial you want, you got it. Anyway I can help, let me know. It’s time to be open and aboveboard. I grow pot and distribute to members of the collective. All done online, I am open and real about it. Nothing shady here.
Level the playing field and game on. You will kick their ass Mike. Good Luck, keep up the good work.

The smack down “Million Dollar” Challenge has been heard loud and clear in Cali., we support you at Advance Nutrients 100%, I use the Sensi 2 part and I can’t say enough, the freakin stuff is freakin amazing compared to other growers I now that went cheap and use “the good old boys stuff”, they saw the light when they saw mine, they are finishing up and switchin to Advance Nut’s, they see it in the Buds & roots. Can’t wait to read you “Rosebud” magazine and keep up the amazing work you’ve all done on research and Development, we can’t thank you enough. Happy growin and collect those pink slips from the “Good ole boys or shall I say ladies” cause they won’t have the balls for the Challenge.

I would like to add, I had the pleasure to meet Big Mike and the crew, that was my goal when I went to the first ever “THC EXPO” in Cali., I could say Big Mike is just a passionate about his Nutrients, as we are with our passion to grow awesome Mary Jane. IF anyone out their has had the pleasure you know what I mean. thanks Big Mike.

I live by General Hydroponics and Hydro Farm I’m gonna walk up and down in front of their company and Promote Advanced nutrients send me a Advanced Nutrients Banner I will do this if not I will get rubber chickens and hang them off a stick. Mike I hear the anger I no what it feels like for people to turn there backs on you when they are afraid. I GOT TEARS IN MY EYES WHEN I WATCHED THIS. I wanna help stop all these store talking crap about your product I’m sick of all these hydro stores saying all this negitive stuff about the best nutrients in the world. And I think they wont take you up on it cause they know your the best and they are scared fucking chickens. You got my email I will help
Kush Nasty said

If anyone steps up its suicide. Been using this stuff for a couple years now and nobody can come close. Did tests with same strain just different nutes and the final product didnt even come close to the one grown with advanced nutes. Go Big Mike!!!
CornHolio said

Mike, First off good for you for standing up to these pieces of shit. It blows my mind that shady bullshit like that still goes on this day and age. It pisses me off that these greedy fucks are trying to squeeze you out of the business. They are scared to death of your superior products and are resorting to unfair and unethical tactics to try to save their sorry asses. After seeing your vid and hearing how dirty they were treating you it sickened me and I have sworn off of all their products. Of course you know they wont have the balls to challenge you as they would be cutting their own dicks off. I say its time you broke it off in their ass! Thanks for all your work and research to provide the world with the best nutes on the planet! I might open my own shop and carry your products exclusevely! Hang in there Mike!

Cool beans! I wanna see the results of the challenge, if the other guys even come out to respond.

Go Big Mike! I know you can win!!

Now it will play for 4 mins 50 secs, it stops just as Mike is about to tell us why he cannot advertise like all the other big companies and then it stops again, I’m baggin my head wandering what Mike is about to say next, by the way I’ve never herd a bad word said about AN here in the UK.

It’s so true about “Evil” or toes you’ve stepped on. My hydro store in Colorado does not advertise on their website nor catalog, but sells your product in store. I asked the owner why and he danced around the question..hmmmm. To me he sells in store because of demand of AN products. Keep on keepin’ on Big Mike!

I’ve been growing utilizing hydroponics since 1989. I’ve used every ‘major label’ brand of nutrient on the market at one time or another. I’m here to tell you that AN products kick every other product on the shelves in the ass. AN is, hands down, the very best nutirent program available anywhere.

You’re a smart guy, Mike. Your million dollar offer is a real ‘sucker bet’ because nobody else in the industry can possibly win it. I know it for a fact, I’ve used the rest and AN is head and shoulders above the crowd. Your offer is like shooting ducks in a barrel. It’s a ‘mismatch’ right out of the box. Like Mike Tyson stepping into the ring against a few old ladies.

No contest!

And I have to say; the results I’ve been getting since I switched to Connoseur are un-freaking-believeable! Thanks for a great product that does what it says it will. That’s rare in today’s ‘take the money and run’ retail market.

I promise to be a loyal customer as long as your in business, Mike.

Be at peace my friend, don’t let those assholes get to your head. You’re a better business man, and a better man, period.

I agree with 101%…. I actually know the Good Ol’ Boys personally…. at first it was FEAR that drove their motives… then it was FINANCIAL RISK seeing a new competitor… now.. I think it’s just spite!…

I just really wish there was more camaraderie in our industry, I must say to your credit, you didn’t start the Fire…but it needs to be flooded with water not gasoline.

Its obvious your commited to your product,a product I have not had a chance to experience yet. I was sold on AN some time ago. I like to research my investments. After all growing consumes massive commitment and dedication why settle for second best. I admire your cofidence and also enjoy being apart of a new adventure. You have my support. Looking forward to your new magazine

Talkin’ bout the good ol’ boys. First off thanks Big mike for all you do for our community. I own and operate a “facility”. When I called Advanced Nutrients to inquire about a wholesale acct. so I could offer the best nutrients to my clients, they were more than helpful. And I am proud to say that I placed my first order at the beginning of the week and will be an authorized Advaced Nutrients dealer. So when it came to other supplies I’d hope to offer such as lighting and other necessary equipment, I contacted Hydrofarm and National Garden Wholesale (Sunlight Supply). Sunlight told me that they have fulfilled thier goals for distribution in my area. In my area you can count the Hydro stores the good ones anyway on one hand. Hydrofarm wants to play like they are your parents and tell you how to run your business. Right on the wholesale acct. application at the top it says, don’t commit to a specific location until we have contacted you due to having to many of our products concentrated in one geographic location. What?! I told them that I did not want to offer thier products if thats how they were going to be I want no part of it. Once again thank you Advanced Nutrients.

Dear Mike,

i am so impressed with your videos and tips and now the Challenge!!!! wow!
my hat is off to your and all your products. We growers now know the difference in quality and nutes that give Results and it is a fact that yours DO!!!

I don’t believe that any of your competitors will take you up on this challenge as they are too busy growing Tomatos and Cucumbers or Flowers and Strawberrys.

The Medical Cannabis Community Needs a fair shake here. As a State Card holder myself, i know that growing the best Medicines possible is so important to me and a ton of others. This Medicine is vital to our healing and relief.

Thank you from all of us out here that reley on your testing and findings that continue to bring the world the Finest Nutrients Available Today.

all the best to you all

Don

Good luck with business, I hope you kick them in the nuts too!!

BTW – this video is difficult to watch because it keeps stopping and loading every minute. I had to find your videos on Youtube so I can watch the whole thing through and not spend an hour to watch a 13 minute video.

Hello Big Mike,
I’m always glad to see the underdog prevail over the “evil powers that be”. I know that these “entities of sleaze” however, have no limits of how low they are willing to go. They absolve themselves by the rational of doing what’s best for the business. Nothing personal, just doing business.
The way I understand this is that these big nutrient-fertilizer companies are trying to bully hydro stores into a boycott of your products or at least minimize shelf space and must not recommend Advanced Products. Screw ‘em Mike.
The internet and sites such as Ebay, ect. have proven that despite the resistance of “big business” to rule they can’t control the power over the NET. Great products sell themselves. Good Hydro stores serve the customer. It appears you’re living pretty good Mike. Don’t lower yourself into this fight with evil assholes, as evil begets evil. Remember when the big record companies thought that they ruled what music we would buy? The NET, turns out, was bigger and more powerful than they thought. Don’t worry Mike the growers will buy what is best for their crops and most of us have no problem buying it off the net. Good luck Mike and I’ll be glad to recieve any samples of your products.
Dave in OK.

well i am a first time med grower that built my entire system (areoponic) from the ground up , i only used basic micro,grow,bloom, i used 1200watt of t-5 power from start to finish , and i must say for my first indoor go of 2 plants (green crack strain) i pulled 13 oz of some stick icky wicky meds , for the first go it was a complex and hard to learn but it did the job ,
love to see what a first time grower with other nuts could do with one of my systems and competitions juices
your product does the job and if a first time indoor guy can pull 13 oz from 2 plants you must be on to something

PS better bottles please knocked over micro with lid on tight and destroyed my carpet due to bad caps

I bought a sunlight system thinking it was good, after hearing big Mike I can’t believe the crap they spew. Let a man make a living you don’t have a monopoly. It is free enterprise. I cant wait to use the ph perfect. Keep kicking there ass big Mike.

Where can I find a light that is not from the good ol boys? Im taking this piece of shit back.
