i was just looking at the A.N. website. i hope im reading this right. the 3 pack of Grow, Micro, and Bloom cost $41 (1 liter bottles). if this is right then its not too much more than FF nutes. there are ashitload of different nute though. nutes that feed your micro nute. thats some crazy shit...anyways they have a product called Connoisseur. what exactly is this product for? it says for professionals only but to me it seems like they did that on purpose so eveyone will by it. thanks!
The Connoisseur is a 2 part system. The Grow Micro Bloom is catered to people who are use to using a 3 part system. The connoisseur does the same thing as the grow micro bloom just in a 2 part system. Its suppose to be a step up from the Grow Micro Bloom. So those would be your base Nutrients and stuff like Budcandy, b52, overdrive ect are your additives. The more additives you use, the more difficult it is. They do have a hobbyist package. You can choose either the 3 part or the 2 part connoisseur as your base nutrients, then for additives you get Vodoo Juice, bigbud, B52, and Overdrive. When you master that you can go to the Expert level with adds even more Additives.
Some of AN's products are cheaper then others. I am waiting for the PH PPM perfect systems to come out. Because of the price I would start with the Hobbyist package. Some Hydro shops are already selling them, but you can't order it from AN's website yet.
I would suggest starting with the 3 part system, and when you get more growing experience you can try the Connoisseur. I have tried Connoisseur before and its really good. Nah, they didn't do it on purpose, Its kinda a warning for new growers to start out with the Grow Micro Bloom before venturing into the Connoisseur.
You wan't to know why I respect AN so much? Well I know someone who works for them. You might have heard of him. Remo AKA Urban Grower. But the main reason I have so much respect for AN is this

Who the hell does that? That's being very humble. I Know there are lots of people who Bash AN, but they are a really good company that looks out for the interest of there customers, or Clients I should say. And well, they are the only Nutrients made JUST TO GROW MARIJUANA, and they are not afraid to say it either.
