Elemental Analysis

The TRUTH About The Most Popular 3-Part Fertilizer On The Market ...There’s really no easy way to put this so I’m just going to come right out and say it. The product you see on the left is overpriced, plain and simple. The fact is, neither Jungle Juice Grow-Micro-Bloom™ nor General Hydroponics Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom are exactly what your high-value plants need. Here’s what both of these products are NOT …• Will not balance your pH automatically like pH Perfect.• Will not protect your crops against poor yields caused

by low or high pH levels.• Are not fully chelated, only iron and manganese are

chelated.• Cations and anions are not properly balanced for our

specialized crops.• Have the wrong ratios of macro secondary and micro-

nutrients for your plants.

And yet General Hydroponics still wants to charge a price reflecting that standard of quality and investment.

You see, because of its enormous reputation, General Hydroponics has been thriving in an industry that hasn’t really been able to offer a viable alternative. Until now, that is. Not only does the product on the left not reflect the true value of its components, but also, the product itself doesn’t really offer the high quality standards that we at Advanced Nutrients know you expect and deserve.

Let me tell you what I mean...

Are You REALLY Getting What You’re Paying For With General Hydroponics?We tested the Flora series and even though we expected to find some inconsistency, what we discovered was SHOCKING.

Get a higher quality product at nearly half the price!

ATTENTION:

Advanced Nutrients, approach total purity so that… practically speaking, every milliliter of product you use is having its intended effect on the plants, each and every time. Also, it’s guaranteed to be safe for your plants and more importantly, for your consumption.

Tissue Sample Testing That Can Exceed 4 Years For A Specific Product Or IngredientWe have developed a base level of quality checks for every ingredient and product we put onto the market. This includes plant tissue samples taken from groups of growers using a specific product under highly controlled scientific experiments. (That is to say, changing SINGLE variables at a time and recording the results). You could say that Advanced Nutrients is the only hydroponics company with years of data collected on plant specific test sites. On average, the minimum amount of time we’ve taken to develop a product ready for the market is 2 years of consistent testing. It can take longer than 4 years before we’re satisfied.

Global Quality Control Measured To The Hundredth Of A GramAnother advantage of buying Advanced Nutrients is quality control. There are many companies that will put out different products regionally. And by that I mean the cereal you buy in California, for example, may not be the exact same cereal in Abbotsford, Canada (even though it comes in the same box, with the same label). The reason is that local materials are used to produce the product. And the grain in California might be different than the grain used in Canada. Not so with Advanced Nutrients. Each of our products is produced, at every location on the globe, using the exact same process and ingredients. They are also produced in small, handpicked batches, by qualified professionals, to ensure the highest quality standards. The Jungle Juice™ you buy in California is the exact same Jungle Juice™ you’d buy in Europe. And each ingredient in every product is hand-measured to be identical down to the hundredth of the gram (0.01g) to ensure maximum performance and more consistent results every time you use it.

Why You May Be Paying MORE Than Other Growers For Flora FertilizersWe sincerely believe that, given the facts we’ve listed so far, the price General Hydroponics is asking for its Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom just isn’t fair. Not only are many of their products overpriced, but also, the inconsistency of prices from one region to another are astronomical! (Just imagine that someone in another city or state is paying significantly less than you are for the same simple fertilizer … we’ve seen it as low as $87.25 and as high as $118.00 across the country!)

This is unforgivable when there is so much technology and knowledge at their disposal that they could use to increase the value of their product.

Unfortunately, because they’ve been around so long, General Hydroponics enjoys a certain amount of loyalty from their customers that they may not necessarily deserve.

But now, all that is about to change ...

The Answer Is Advanced Nutrients’ JUNGLE JUICE™!

Reverse Osmosis Water TreatmentAdvanced Nutrients uses a reverse osmosis water treatment system designed and implemented by the leading German company specializing in these sophisticated water treatment systems.

Additionally, every single month (even if the systems are performing perfectly), their crew visits every one of our manufacturing plants around the world to hand-tune and perform routine maintenance to these systems—guaranteeing the highest levels of accurate functioning. Because of this meticulous attention to detail and maintenance, the water we use in ALL our facilities meets the same exacting standards whether it’s in Sofia, Bulgaria; Woodlands, Washington; or British Columbia, Canada.

This system (which the same German firm called “the most technologically advanced and sophisticated of all the R/O systems they’ve seen in any nutrient or chemical company”) provides not only what is considered “Ultra Pure” water (the same water that Coca-Cola® and Red Bull® and Budweiser® use for their products) but gives us a unique scientific advantage for hydroponic nutrients – a steady control point.

That’s because our R/O water is laboratory grade, as well as 99.999999% free of all bacteria due to the post purification treatment that is part of our reverse osmosis process. We use the same pure water every day, hour, minute, etc. This means the scientific tests we perform on our nutrients are indeed scientific, and the consistency of our product is very real – the variables are known and controlled.

There is a surprising number of hydroponics companies that use tap water for their product development. This is a problem not only because of its low-quality and potential safety hazards for the end user, but because the quality of tap water fluctuates all the time.

Optimum Water TemperatureOur scientists are obsessive. Many of them have more than one Ph.D. And they are always on the lookout for new variables to test. One of Advanced Nutrients’ secret weapons (another proprietary secret that can’t be shared in an advertisement) is the water temperature we use to develop our products. It turns out, the specific temperature of the water can profoundly influence the solubility of the ingredients. When you mix a jug of Kool-Aid for example using cold water, you’ll find more sediment at the bottom of the glass. When you get the temperature just right, you’ll notice much less sediment as well as a tastier brew. All of Advanced Nutrients' products have a specific temperature dialed in to mix with, which means your plants will get the full benefit of the product from every last drop.

Highest Grade IngredientsAdvanced Nutrients uses pharmaceutical and technical grade raw materials to make our products … AND … we run tests multiple times each year to test for heavy metals and maintain the highest purity levels. What that means is that the raw materials sourced for our ingredients must meet a standard of purity and quality that is the highest presently achievable. This applies not only to the raw material as it appears in nature or in the lab, but to how it's handled at every step along the way… from its original source, right to your bottle of Jungle Juice™ you buy in the store. Feed-Grade ingredients, by contrast, can be up to a 50/50 split of purity (even worse in some cases). That means half of the product may be a complete waste (and may pose a danger to you or your plants!). Pharmaceutical grade materials, like we use here at

General Hydroponics’ fertilizer shows huge variations in ingredients from batch to batch! We’re professional growers, just like you and as far as we’re concerned, this is inexcusable. As growers of high value plants, you and I both know what a huge part consistency plays in guaranteeing our yields and product quality. And from a company as well established as General Hydroponics, you would expect a much higher standard of quality, right?

And that’s not even the worst part …

For the longest time General Hydroponics didn’t have a Reverse Osmosis system, but now that they have one, the evidence shows they’re not using it properly because we’ve documented fluctuating chlorine levels in their various products. This means harmful chemicals like chlorine could easily be finding their way into your high value plants and stunting their potential and your profits.

Another big problem is General Hydroponics doesn’t measure their ingredients properly during the mixing process. This is evident in the inconsistency of their supplements from batch to batch.

In contrast, instead of dumping bags of ingredients into mixing our products (which can lead to variations in formulas due to differences in weight from bag to bag) we hand-weigh everything because it is much more accurate (even though it takes MUCH more time and effort).

What’s more, General Hydroponics farms out the production of many of their products because, for whatever reason, they just don’t have the facilities to produce them in house.

In fact, one of the cofounders of Advanced Nutrients, Michael “Big Mike” Straumietis, was sitting down with David Solotky “The Second In Command” at General Hydroponics along with their marketing director Christina—the owner’s daughter—discussing what’s been going on in the industry. All of a sudden, Dave turns to Mike and says,

“So, your Iguana Juice™ … That’s one great product … We wish our organic fertilizers were that good … Do you make it yourself?”

That’s when it really hit Big Mike. He realized General Hydroponics doesn’t make a lot of their own products! “You don’t manufacture that yourself?” He asked. “No,” Dave replied, “we outsource a lot of our products.”

This just blew Big Mike’s mind because the people they outsource to are not even a hydroponics company, just an agriculture fertilizer maker that has the capabilities to make these products. They don’t know anything about the specifics of hydro growing or the specific needs of our industry. That’s what they’re pumping out to our community.

Another sad truth is when you outsource like this, it seriously decreases a company’s ability to control the quality of its merchandise. And product quality is one of the BIGGEST factors in our industry of specialized growing!

What Does High Quality Look Like? One great thing about Advanced Nutrients is that our company manufactures 100% of our products, including our beneficial bacteria and fungi. In fact, we’re the only company with these capabilities.

And that’s not the only thing that makes AN Jungle Juice™ a superior product. We have a whole host of quality standards that set us apart from the competition ...

We developed this simple formula to be EXACTLY like General Hydroponics Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom line … only better because … of the higher standard of quality and manufacturing and consistency.

Here’s Why We Can Afford To Give You Jungle Juice™ For 40% Less Than General Hydroponics’s Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom! (Even Though Jungle Juice™ Is Higher-Quality) ...Even though we know we’ve produced the best three-part fertilizer formula in the high value hydroponics industry, we still want the price of our product to reflect the true value of Gro-Micro-Bloom from General Hydroponics as well as the rest of the competition.

That’s why we decided to offer Jungle Juice™ for 40% LESS than what you would normally pay for General Hydroponics’ Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom. So you get a higher quality, more consistent product at nearly half the price!

You’re probably wondering why, or even how, we can sell our product for 40% less than General Hydroponics Gro-Micro-Bloom. And it’s actually really simple.

If you look at the pictures above, you’ll see that General Hydroponics’ Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom is the exact same price as our current high-end Grow-Micro-Bloom that is pH Perfect AND ...• WILL balance your pH automatically with pH Perfect.• WILL protect your crops against poor yields caused by low or high pH

levels.• IS fully chelated.• Cations and anions are properly balanced for our specialized crops.• Has the proper ratios of macro secondary and micronutrients for

your plants.

All the things Jungle Juice™ and General Hydroponics Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom WON’T do.

You see both Jungle Juice™ and General Hydroponics Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom are basic products. The real difference is that Jungle Juice™ is higher quality manufacturing, gives you more consistent results, and reflects a fair price for the benefits it delivers. There’s just no way we could sell this product for the same price as our pH Perfect Grow-Micro-Bloom.

You’re Guaranteed To Get Great Growth and Yields While You Save Money, With JUNGLE JUICE™!Advanced Nutrients is so serious about the Jungle Juice™ formula, they’re offering a full-money back guarantee of satisfaction. Here it is, in the founder’s own word’s:

NONE of our competitors will offer you a guarantee like this!

Here’s What You Need To Do Next, To Put This Breakthrough To Work For You ...You’ve seen how you’re paying 40% MORE than you should for General Hydroponics Flora Gro-Micro-Bloom …

You’ve seen the undeniable proof showing this product is not giving you the value and quality you demand as an expert in your field …

The following are a list of discrepancies noted in several of the General Hydroponics bottles. All labs Test were done at A&L Western Laboratories in California. The numbers (#s) indicate the bottle batch codes the samples were extracted from for analysis. The areas highlighted indicate a deficient analysis.

• Areas highlighted in Red (■) are AT LEAST 100% over the General Hydroponics Guaranteed Analysis.

• Areas highlighted in Orange (■) are AT LEAST 50% over the indicated value.

• Areas highlighted in Yellow (■) are deficient.

Nearly every bottle (75%) has a deficiency in the contents (the amounts analyzed do not meet or exceed the amounts listed.) And EVERY bottle has a significant discrepancy between what is listed on the label and what is present in the bottle. In some cases, the deviation is over 100%.

A note must be made: N/A means Not Analyzed, which means that the ingredient was not tested for. This does not mean that it is not present, simply that the analysis was not conducted on that particular ion. Not detected means that the element was not detected when the analysis was conducted. This means that the ion is present below “cut off” values for that particular analysis, while the machine (ICP or Induction Plasma) in most cases can pick up contaminants in the order of 0.1 PPM (0.00001%.) With that in mind, all of the analyses were done using the same laboratory, under the same stringent guidelines imposed by the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO.)
