that's so not my point.
(and yes. i have a number of friends who work for them/used to work for them, i have access to their whole lineup at "the bro price". we actually pay *more for our grotek lineup (also local), where we don't have an "in", than we would for AN the way it's available to us.)
maybe because i didn't have to invest the big bucks in it, i never had that moment using it where i was like, "oh, so THIS is why it costs so much more." and when i DID find out what it retailed for, i *pffft*ed and then half-seriously joked about quitting growing to bootleg AN nutes. (yes, there is *That much of a retail markup.)
my point here is the absolute **fallacy** of putting forth company-sponsored data as definitive fact, in spite of the obvious AND admittedly shoddy science.
like i said, i'll be more willing to believe it when the comparison grow is done by a grower NOT on the company's payroll. (and no, remo may not draw a "paycheque" from AN per se, but they definitely have their hands DEEP in each other's pockets)
again, to each his/her own. i'm not saying you should or should not use them.
i just think that as a local resident whose friends have been personally fucked over by AN and/or intimidated by their OC henchmen, i would be remiss in my duty to my fellow riu-ers as an info-sharing forum if i didn't at some point mention that giving money to AN is like lining the coffers of one side of the biggest gang war this port city and its suburbs have EVER seen.....
