I think if you say things like "a nute company REQUIRES you to mix 8 different bottles" you should reevaluate your growing ability. Name me one single synthetic nute manufacturer who only offers 1 bottle? They "offer" more shit because dumb assets will buy it. Protekt, magpro, kiln, bullshit, b52, bud factor X, carboload bullshit, floranectar, koolbloom, diamond nectar bullshit, cal/mag entirely is bullshit. A company's goal is to make money, if they can make a 10000% profit buy giving you shit you don't need but will gladly purchase then why wouldn't they? That says a hell of a lot more about the sheepish consumer market then it does about the manufacturer. I have used not 1 single bottle of the "8 required bottles" that you speak of and have had no problems. AN won't honor they're guarantee? Have you tried to get a refund? Why did they tell you they won't give you one? You never tried to get a refund, you are following the sheep and regurgitating what they say. HB went in for a refund, they didn't tell him no.
