So in other words for people not following, in the Athena AG Pro GROW product, when you buy a 25lb bag from the store, between 30-37% of the contents are unaccounted for. So in other words, we are able to recreate their formula exactly using only 62.9% of the state label values! This is significant, because it means 37% of the contents of the bag are unaccounted for! Even if we were generous and substituted the lowest grade Magnesium Sulfate, it would still only lower the total 7% and would still leave over 30% unaccounted for! So, the big red flag here, is that if you add up all the % above, it gives 15.8 + 15.8 + 14.7 + 15.5 + 1.1 = 62.9%. These are the exact 5 ingredients listed on the label, and the formula is exactly recreated using the above ingredients and amounts. For example, we can recreate the same exact ratio using the following: Based on for example, the GROW product which is NPK 2-8-20, we were able to simulate this formula using 37% less of the ingredients stated on the label. So the reason I am making the post now, is because we ran these new products (Advanced and Athena AG Pro) through our proprietary computer models dealing with fertilizers and nutrients, and when processing the Athena AG based on the label values, some huge red flags came up!! I was wondering if any of the smart people here would be able to conjecture of what exactly is going on with this situation. Liquid nutrients essentially were mostly a glorified snake oil market that hydroponic nutrient companies (like AN) could charge astronomical markups from material costs, and lay on heavy marketing and convince growers who could sell units for $4000+ was their best choice. So as we imagined in 2016 when creating Mega Crop, we know the industry and market would eventually shift in this direction towards dry nutrients/fertilizers, simple because they are less expensive to produce, and less expensive to ship, while maintaining the same quality. Greenleaf Nutrients Mega Crop (our product) which is a 1 part complete dry formula This is a 2 part formula (or possible 3 part with the addition of Magnesium Sulfate/Epsom), that allows for great customizaiton General Hydroponics MaxiBloom and MaxiGro: This is a pretty time tested formula for hydroponics, unfortunately the macros aren't directly geared towards Cannabis, but they will still get the job done pretty good. Before these release, the main goto for dry nutrients/fertilizers have been: Jacks 5-12-26 + Calcium Nitrate (or Jacks 3-2-1 as some people refer to).
