Never know what will happen in this game of ours.... but if haper keeps up we are going to be in for a rough ride ahead.
I just got off of the phone with Shawn, President of MondoPro (AN's Distribution Arm), and first of all, I'M GOING TO THE ADVANCED NUTES PARTY IN SAN FRANCISCO NEXT WEEKEND!! WOOOOOHOOOOO I am soo psyched! Finally, I'll get to meet some of these guys that I've been talking to at AN for years now. I'm also getting passes to the Hydro Expo to see all the newest gear from all the maunfacturers. I can't wait!
Secondly, Shawn told me that their website guy is already working through the AN Medical Forum and is, apparently, seperating out the "questionable" info and will relaunch with a new "legit" site in the not too distant future. He said, very uncommitingly, in about a month or so.
However, there WILL BE a second site launched that . . . shall we say . . . will be the "backdoor" site and on the "down low" for the old members (medusers, of course . So, it sounds like the old AN members WILL, indeed, have a home again in the not-too-distant future!
I will be seeing Darkone and Medibud at the party and will try to get them here to help Moderate the AN Medical Forum here (that is if Pistils is cool with that, of course). Shawn told me that many of the AN Medical members ended up at HG*420. So, someone might want to go and post this over there so they can find there way here to meet back up with Darkone and Medibud.
Just thought I'd pop in and shed some much needed good news for our fellow AN Medical brethren!

Although Darkone and Medibud are great growers, it was Darkone and Medibud's job to regulate the posts. Darkone and medi were not interested in deleting any posts written by drug dealers because darkone himself runs grows with more than 10 1000 watt lights.
He claims to be a medicinal user......my foot.
any updates on where everyone is now?
edit: sorry for the ninja bump, i have just been gone for a long time and wondering where everyone is nowadays
Yeah, any updates on this?
I actually came across some yahoo on a different forum who thought Advanced Nutrients shutting down the forum was some kind of betrayal. Idiot. I almost typed up a whole post about what really happened but it would've been futile. Guys like that just don't listen.
I moderated for a tiny little forum years ago and damn that was a crappy job. No pay, all work, and you can never keep up with even just a handful of jackasses intent on making trouble. I don't know why anyone even takes the job - though I'm definitely glad some people do. Mods are the hardest working, under-appreciated guys on a forum.
Too bad that thing they did last Sunday hadn't happened yet when I saw that post. If anyone doubted Advanced Nutrient's dedication to supporting medical marijuana they don't have much to stand on anymore. Flying a half-football-field-sized banner with a gorgeous frosty bud on it to protest the hypocrisy of most of the nute companies out there...
Ballsy IMHO.
I heard about that banner thing, there's a video of it here

Advanced Nutrients is a Mass Marketing Company... that simply happens to sell nutrients at the same time.
Few of their products are worth consideration (voodoo,tarantula) but ALL of it is nothing more than what you can achieve yourself, through MUCH better quality additives and supplements and a little understanding of what is going on...
The very fact that they've started this "Medical Patient Only" product availability, eg. Kushie Kush that is "strain specific" simply shows what kind of people the owners of this company are. Scumbags.
They are constantly bragging that their product is better than anything out there when infact there is no truth to this at all.
Look at the same way MAC attacks PC computers, it's the marketing of scumbags.
I'll never support the way Advanced Nutrients does business, their over marketing and "We are better than all" way of business is shameful.
Bio-Canna
Canna
Botanicare
Hygrozyme/Grozyme
Atami
Growing Edge Technologies
Camel Grow Joe
Fox Farm
THOSE are some companies to support they make TOP quality products derived from Organics and Natural Minerals and not marketed as something they are not.
I don't buy stuff simply because the people selling it brag it as being "the best" and neither should anyone else.
But that's just me....
Bob.
Even General Hydroponics is comprised of less salts and better quality minerals then Advanced Nutrients.... that should give you some idea.
