the phosphorous myth exposed
DESCRIPTION
In this research paper, you'll see proof that other nutrient companies are absolutely over providing growers plants with too much phosphorus causing quality and yield decreases. And to make matters worse, they don't understand the macro and micro nutrient ratio requirements needed to grow the really BIG BUDS growers are looking for. We're going to unveil the gas chromatography results from tissue samples taken in each week of flowering. We'll be looking at Hash Plant, White Rhino and Berlin. Also included are a bonus of sorts; it's the cannabiniod profile of Northern Lights. You can follow along and see the week by week changes. It's pretty cool stuff.Get it right now.TRANSCRIPT

Once upon a time...
The Phosphorous Myth Exposed
2
In a land far, far away a bunch of hydroponic nutrient
companies believed that giving plants lots of phosphorous was the magic cannabis elixir.
The reality is...
1
Are you aware of what you’re really smoking? Can you recall a time when you took a hit of what you thought
was going to be some great smoke only to find yourself choking and gagging? Even worse it was hard to keep lit, tasted terrible, irritated your throat and lungs and produced a heavy black ash.
Licensed medical cannabis patient and grower Gino Yordanov offers you an insider’s look at the direct causes of poor-quality medicine. That’s because Yordanov is co-founder of Advanced Nutrients, the only hydroponics company that’s logged nearly a decade of cannabis growing research into plant quality, yields and potency.
“I always wondered what caused that stinging harshness in my throat when I medicated myself with buds I purchased,” Yordanov recalls. “So I had my team of scientists find out the causes. And here’s what they discovered...”
You’re Smoking Too Much Phosphorus
One of the main causes of all that hacking and coughing is plants are grown with too much phosphorus. Another critical finding that made a significant difference was the particular forms of phosphorus and nutrient ratio’s used to grow with.
Even more troubling, what are the rest of the fertilizer’s essential ingredients “cut” with? Take calcium nitrate for instance it’s made up of 15.5% nitrogen and 11% calcium, so what’s the other 73.5% made out of?
Well, as it turns out, actually it matters a lot, especially the composition and purity level of that “cut.”
“When calcium nitrate is not analyzed or sourced incorrectly, the remaining percentage of filler material slows crop growth and adds harshness to your buds. And calcium nitrate is just one example – what about all the other ingredients in a nutrient? Obviously it all matters.
But here’s the most important part... the correct ratios of a cannabis fertilizer’s macro and micro nutrients make a huge difference in your medicine’s smoothness. Plus it’s a known fact that the further you move away from feeding cannabis plants their ideal nutrient ratios, potency and yield rapidly deteriorate.
You see, cannabis uses a small amount of phosphorus during flowering, what it really loves to use is nitrogen and potassium. We discovered this because our scientists have taken thousands of weekly tissue samples from buds, stems, leaves and roots of many varieties using gas chromatography analysis throughout all phases of cannabis growth.
Nutrient Companies Are Harming YouAnd to make matters worse, nutrient companies are over-
providing phosphorus in hydroponic bloom fertilizers. And to compound problems, they use high levels of ingredients like
mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) or diammonium phosphate (DAP). These harshness culprits will make you cough a lung out. Really, it’s that bad. Hey, I realize this may sound a bit self serving but obviously I care about what patients and I are smoking and of course the facts are the facts.”
The good news is Yordanov’s researchers found combinations of specialized nutrients, plant and mineral extracts, root enhancers, vitamins, inoculants, growth and bloom co-factors that consistently produce bigger yields, higher amounts of THC, sweeter smelling aromatic compounds and tastier smoother smoking buds.
In fact, when Advanced Nutrients formulas were tested by Dr. Mahmoud A. ElSohly, (Director of the US government’s marijuana research farm at the University of Mississippi), ElSohly discovered that Advanced Nutrients increased THC percentages by 40% while increasing plant and bud biomass by 21% compared to the formulations he was using. In the interest of full disclosure, Dr ElSohly is
now an Advanced Nutrients customer.And Yordanov requires his company’s scientists and quality
control technicians to continually upgrade formulations to produce the absolute maximum bud weight and quality.
Your Only Clean Safe SourceFor Pure Grown Medicine
As the only hydroponics nutrients company founder who is also an officially-government licensed medical cannabis patient and grower, Yordanov pledges it’s his solemn duty to guarantee Advanced Nutrients produces clean, convenient, yield-boosting formulas that ensure patients’ health and safety.
“I want the finest medicine for myself and all patients. Whether you purchase from a medical cannabis dispensary or grow your own, clearly this is so important to your health that you should insist your buds were grown with hydroponics nutrients designed and tested specifically for medical cannabis.”
Ask If Your Dispensary Medicine Was Grown With Advanced Nutrients...
• Because you want your buds to taste great, and you want your buds grown with fertilizers that contain superior sources of phosphorus and contain top quality, analyzed ingredients that don’t contain any poor quality filler.
• Because you want your buds to have the highest potency genetically possible and grown with the correct fertilizer ratios of macro and micronutrients.
• Because you want the safest, smoothest smoke and the quality of your health demands it.
Med Pot Warning: What Are You Really Smoking?
Licensed Medical Cannabis Grower and Patient Gino Yordnaov gives you an insider’s look on how you’ll absolutely ensure you’re getting safer, smoother and more potent medicine.

California “Sherman Law” Regulations ProtectMedical Marijuana Patients From Contaminated Medicine
California medical marijuana users are informing dispensaries, growers and hydroponics stores about California statutes known as the “Sherman Law” designed to protect consumers from con-taminants, impurities, and pesticides in medical marijuana and other medicines.
The Sherman Law (in California Health & Safety Code Section 111255) states that “any drug or device is adulterated if it has been produced, prepared, packed, or held under conditions…whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.”
A recent court ruling proves the Sherman Law is being used to protect medical marijuana con-sumers. It happened when a judge ordered that marijuana samples from a Southern California dispensary be tested for contaminants and impurities. The judge ordered the dispensary closed after tests revealed the dispensary’s medicine was contaminated with illegal pesticides.
Along with Section 111255 cited above, the Sherman Law (section 111260) also makes it illegal to sell a drug “if the methods, facilities, or controls used for its manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to, or are not operated or administered in conformity with current good manufacturing practiceto assure that the drug or device meets the requirements as to safety and has the identity and strength, and meets the quality and purity characteristics that it purports or is represented to pos-sess.”
When medical marijuana users consume medicine that makes them cough and gag, their respira-tory discomfort is most often caused by mistakes in how the medical cannabis was grown, what inputs were used, and how well the crop was flushed and cured.
It’s easy to see that the Sherman Law is a common sense attempt to protect drug consumers by insisting that medical marijuana be of adequate quality and purity. That’s why medical marijuana patients are asking dispensaries to comply with the Sherman Law by only providing safe, uncon-taminated marijuana.
If you operate a medical marijuana dispensary, the law obligates you to ensure that the marijuana you provide was grown using the safest materials and horticultural practices.
The bottom line is when growers and dispensaries abide by the Sherman Law, your medical mari-juana will be smoother, tastier, safer, stronger and better for your health.
