Is it really garbage? Why is it garbage? I always heard it was top quality nutes. I have heard that AN is great. Tell me why you like AN. What AN products do you use?
Ok well when i say "garbage", i do not in any way mean you will get bad flowers or a small yield. What i am saying broadly is, some people wear skinny jeans and there pockets are too tight to consider or invest the extra money in AN. I believe FF nutes produce chemically smelling and tasting flowers and to add not comparable to AN when it comes down to potency and quality. Not saying you wont get your bang for your buck but lets be honest with ourselves and accept the fact that High Times Cannabis Cup holders will never use a full line of FF. This stuff is decent and great for a budget but also put in retrospect that it is sold in many mainstream stores along with local ordinary gardening shops(not hydro stores). Another consideration you have to take is AN is more expensive for proven reasons.
What it really all comes down to is the quality, potency, taste, and yield. You WILL get all of these with FF no doubt for the money you have spent. Its like a Lamborghini to a Bugatti...both fast, luxury, and flashy....But the extra $$$ for the Bugatti will pull out with the win in a stand off race.
Remember we do not live in China, In America, we pay for quality and quantity.
So...if you want to try FF out great, try AN out and you will forget FF ever existed. =D
