Costlier than Gold, platinum, and just about anything else

Everyone’s favorite nutrient manufacturer Advanced Nutrients is playing with nutrient compounds that probably cost more than your house… per gram. The research focuses on auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins and other growth hormones, can cost $500 000 per gram. The research is to determine the effects of these designer compounds on plant flowering, root growth, and plant health.

“Some of these hormones cost almost $500,000 USD per gram, of course, at that price we didn’t produce a whole gram. For instance, right now we have discovered a part of a Gibberellin chain that stimulates profuse flower production that initially cost $19,000 USD per gram to make.

We have got the cost down to $1,000 USD right now and will be able to mass produce this hormone for $40.00 USD per gram and at that point it will be commercially viable for high value crops,” says advanced nutrients co-founder Michael “Big Mike” Straumietis “What we’re learning about hydroponics plant growth and yield is worth the research dollars we’re investing.”

The major benefit to this research is higher yields, which means higher profits for both growers and Advanced Nutrients alike. These experimental synthetic and naturally derived hormones are only available to advanced nutrients, and soon the #1 manufacturer of hydroponics nutrients will widen the lead they have over their competitors.

“At first, we winced when the chemists would come to us for a teeny-tiny vial of plant hormone and ask us for tens of thousands of dollars to produce it,” Michael Straumietis explains. “But when our scientists proved how these costly new forms of auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins and other plant growth compounds totally revolutionize our understanding and control of all major plant functions, we realized that all the money we’re spending is obviously worth it. With some of these substances, you can easily more than double your harvest in some crops!”

The research is giving them tons of data about the effect of auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins affect the growth and development of plants.
