I would like to be among those that exposes AN and other nutrient companies to the pure BS marketing ploys so people can save their money on more important things , like a better growing environment. Please post hidden or not so hidden little ploys these marketing A-holes pull on us tokers to get your hard earned money. Please hold off on the hate rants, there are one or two somewhere in this forum. Post counter-points to their claims. What would be great are valid links to research papers written by botanical and/or chemical professionals (other than the great gurus of Advanced or Canna) AN lovers, post your support too but please not the "My shit grows great" claims. Use science to support your claims. Like this:
Rhino Skin: Why after years do they come out with this stuff? Because it's getting popular as a soilless additive. But hey, they state they have a special blend and "discovered" a super-duper potassium silicate and mixing ratio that they can only provide. Now look at the AMOUNT of silicate, next to nothing. Fractions of say Pro-tekt or S.I. and with the "PH-Perfect" logo on it so as to be compatible with the other PH-Perfect products. With those amounts, no wonder its ph-perfect: It's almost water!! .015% Silicon Dioxide. .4% Potassium Silicate Pro-Tekt has 3% K2O and 7.8% Silicon. Not even worth the cost comparison.
