The Phosphorous

Myth Exposed

nce upon a time...

n 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...

Even more troubling, what are the rest of the fertilizers

instance its made up of 15.5% nitrogen and 11% calcium, so
whats 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

But heres the most important part... the correct ratios of a
cannabis fertilizers macro and micro nutrients make a huge
difference in your medicines smoothness. Plus its 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 You

And to make matters worse, nutrient companies are overproviding phosphorus in hydroponic bloom fertilizers. And to
compound problems, they use high levels of ingredients like

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 dont 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.

California Sherman Law Regulations Protect

Medical 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 contaminants, 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 consumers. 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 dispensarys 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 practice
to 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 possess.
When medical marijuana users consume medicine that makes them cough and gag, their respiratory 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.
Its 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. Thats why medical marijuana
patients are asking dispensaries to comply with the Sherman Law by only providing safe, uncontaminated 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 marijuana will be smoother, tastier, safer, stronger and better for your health.
