General Hydropnics: NOT for Marijuana

General Hydroponics is NOT for marijuana plants!

" General Hydroponics does NOT make fertilizers for your cannabis plants! "

When you buy hydroponics nutrients, are you aware that almost all hydroponics nutrients manufacturers are selling you old school formulas and ingredients not designed for marijuana plants?

When I first discovered that fact, I realized I had been paying a lot of money for fertilizers that weren't giving me my heaviest, strongest buds.  Fact is, marijuana is a unique plant that does best when you feed it hydroponics nutrients specifically designed for marijuana. You get way higher weight and THC potency when you use marijuana-specific nutrients.

At the time, I was using General Hydroponics- one of the best-selling hydroponics brands. But it came to me suddenly what the company's name tells you is that GH nutrients are not designed or tested for marijuana: they are general​ hydroponics nutrients, designed to work on lettuce, beans, and houseplants. 

When I looked into it further, I discovered General Hydroponics does not use marijuana plants in any of its testing. They refuse to test their products on the marijuana plants we all grow. What's more, General Hydroponics and their hydroponics industry allies at Maximum Yield and Sunlight Supply get downright angry when you ask them about the connection between hydroponics and marijuana. 

Look at the General Hydroponics website or talk to their reps at an indoor gardening expo...they make it clear that they're not dedicated to helping you grow bigger and better marijuana.

Their website proclaims: "We are developing new hydroponic systems and perfecting nutrient formulas to enhance flavor and yield plus vitamin and mineral content in food crops for higher nutritional value. Our farm division is testing many varieties of vegetables..."

Hello GH: Marijuana is not a vegetable or food crop (although you can make some tasty marijuana medibles from marijuana). Hydroponics insiders, including former employees of General Hydroponics, know that GH’s hydroponics ingredients, ratios and manufacturing processes produce generic hydroponics fertilizers that have no specificity to marijuana, and GH is proud to tell you so.

General Hydroponics is proud to avoid any event that respects marijuana growers. Take a look at this hilarious video and you'll see what I mean...

When you look at a product such as General Hydroponics Flora three-part base nutrients, you see where the problems are for you and your cannabis plants. First of all, GH Flora nutrients are not designed for marijuana plants. It’s like using diesel fuel in a gasoline engine.

Secondly, GH nutrients have been found to have inconsistencies that play havoc with pH, parts per million and nutrients absorption. You can spend a lot of time, worry and money trying to make General Hydroponics Flora work for your medical cannabis plants…but you still won’t get the heavy, most THC-laden buds that you deserve.

What would General Hydroponics do if it was authentically dedicated to you getting the most medicine from your marijuana plants? It would do what hydroponics company Advanced Nutrients has done…

Advanced Nutrients started a decade ago by examining all existing nutrients formulas and troubleshooting them to find out why hydroponics growers constantly complained about crop problems caused by those hydroponics nutrients.

After that, Advanced Nutrients employed real scientists to do professional plant science testing (such as plant tissue assays and gas chromatography) to determine how your plants absorb nutrients, transfer them internally, and use them to build structure, buds and THC.

Again, feel free to ask General Hydroponics, Botanicare, Technaflora or any of the other North American hydroponics nutrients companies if they do any scientific research for cannabis growing. Their answer is NO! How does that make you feel? It made me feel that I better use nutrients meant for the plants I grow, even if it means switching away from what I'm familiar with.

After Advanced Nutrients figured out what your hydroponics marijuana plants need, they sourced or created the most effective ingredients and set up strict manufacturing protocols to produce a new generation of hydroponics nutrients that changed how you grow marijuana.

Instead of using stuff like General Hydroponics three-part Flora base nutrients, you use Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice which costs 40% less than Flora- but is moneyback guaranteed to give you faster growth and bigger yields in your medical marijuana garden.

You look at the product labels for Flora and Jungle Juice and see the exact same ratios and types of ingredients, but Jungle Juice costs 40% less. Think of all the fun you can have with that extra 40% you savelaugh

I'm sure some of you are wondering if this article is an advertisement for Advanced Nutrients. The answer is no. I am a marijuana grower just like you, and I want you to grow the dankest buds that'll medicate you and your friends really well. Who else other than Advanced Nutrients in the hydroponics nutrients industry has done anything for marijuana growers other than take their money?

Frankly, many marijuana growers feel dissed when companies like General Hydroponics, Sunlight Supply, and ​Maximum Yield make a killing off of hydroponics marijuana growers while refusing to do cannabis-specific research or defend the rights of the marijuana growing community.

Of course, some marijuana growers use GH and get decent results. It's not like GH products are totally useless. I highly recommend one of their products- the mite-killer Azamax. It's just that their nutrients are too ​general​ and generic. 

Friends, the simple truth is you're spending a lot of money, risking a lot and counting on your marijuana grow room to produce massive amounts of premium bud.

You have a right to expect any hydroponics manufacturer that takes your money to be out front and on your side as a marijuana grower, and to make products that cater to marijuana's unique nutritional needs. You don't get that kind of service or loyalty from General Hydroponics, and you deserve way better. With products like Jungle Juice, you have an alternative to GH, and you save 40%!

When you switch from GH, you walk into your hydroponics grow room and get a bigger rush of pride, joy and satisfaction. Your plants are lovin' it, and so are yousmiley
