In a side-by-side trial, cannabis cultivator CMS Cap put Advanced Nutrients to the test against a leading competitor. The goal: To find the best nutrients for maximizing terpene production, potency, and extraction yields.
The Trichome and Terpene Case Study
CMS Cap grew the same cannabis strain in identical conditions, with the sole difference being the nutrient line.
Under 20X microscopic examination, the differences were striking:

Case study – the same cannabis strain grown in identical conditions, with the sole difference being the nutrient line
Advanced Nutrients resulted in:
- Trichomes on the Advanced Nutrients plants had visibly more terpene secretion
- Trichome heads were more developed and robust with Advanced Nutrients
- Extraction yields hit 4.9% with Advanced Nutrients vs only 2.9% with the competitor
“In the world of hash and extraction, a 2% higher return is a make-or-break difference for many strains,” explained CMS Cap. “This equates to about a 40% boost in profits, just from switching to Advanced Nutrients.”
The Science Behind the Results
CMS Cap further elaborated on how Advanced Nutrients facilitates this boost in terpene production and potency:
“Advanced Nutrients allows the terpenes to be pushed out at max volume, secreting higher terpene percentages, creating more flavor and aroma with every trichome head. When comparing trichome heads between Advanced Nutrients and competitors, the heads are more robust, heavier, more powerful, and more attractive to the eye.”
This increase in trichome and terpene production directly translates to enhanced extract quality and value.
“We are able to cultivate higher returns for solventless extraction because of fuller, more ripe trichome heads,” Cap explained. “We’re also able to see higher rosin returns from bubble hash to pressed product.”
25 Years of Research and Development
Advanced Nutrients’ proprietary cannabis-specific formulations are the result of over 25 years of research and development.
“Our products are specifically designed to unlock the true genetic potential of the cannabis plant,” said founder and CEO BigMike Straumietis.
The cutting-edge nutrient ratios and bioavailability powered by 8th-generation technology enable cannabis plants to produce buds with:
- Greater terpene production
- Higher THC percentages
- Fuller, heavier, more robust trichome heads
- Visibly increased terpene secretion and aroma
- Larger Yields
- Better solventless extraction results
The Advanced Nutrients Difference
The Advanced Nutrients difference lies in the company’s commitment to cannabis-specific research and continuous innovation. For over a quarter century, the Advanced Nutrients team of Ph.D. scientists has studied cannabis plants intensively to determine the exact nutrients and ratios needed at each growth phase.
By identifying and meeting these needs at a molecular level, Advanced Nutrients enables growers to maximize the genetic potential of their plants and consistently produce top-shelf buds with premium terpene and cannabinoid profiles.
