The Roots of a Cannabis Revolution
Michael ‘BigMike’ Straumietis forever changed the industry in 1999 when he founded Advanced Nutrients: the first and only complete growing system for cannabis. For the first time ever, growers could rely on hydroponics nutrients designed to help unlock the true genetic potential of their specific crops.
Since then, Advanced Nutrients has remained steadfast in its commitment to developing research-backed products and has introduced 55 firsts to the world of cultivation. Today, the company is the leading provider of cannabis fertilizer for growers in 117+ countries.

When you invest in Advanced Nutrients, you’re investing in science, innovation, and the community. Read more about my path from outlaw grower to cannabis CEO here.
