Founded in 1999 by Michael Straumietis , Advanced Nutrients emerged at a time when most fertilizer companies avoided direct association with cannabis cultivation. The company was among the first to develop nutrient formulations designed specifically for the physiological needs of cannabis plants, helping shape modern hydroponic and controlled-environment growing practices.
Advanced Nutrients’ portfolio includes more than 60 fertilizers, biostimulants, and biological products formulated for each stage of cannabis cultivation. Its flagship innovation, pH Perfect Technology, is designed to automatically stabilize nutrient solution pH within optimal ranges, reducing the need for manual adjustment and simplifying feeding protocols for growers.
Core product lines include the pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom three-part base nutrient system; the two-part pH Perfect Sensi Grow and Bloom alternatives; and the premium Connoisseur line developed for experienced cultivators. The company also produces bloom boosters such as Big Bud and Overdrive, root-zone products like Voodoo Juice and Piranha containing beneficial microorganisms, and certified organic inputs through its OG Organics line, which carries OMRI and CDFA-OIM certifications.
Serving both hobbyist and commercial cultivators, Advanced Nutrients distributes its products through authorized retailers and licensed operators worldwide. The company has supported scientific research into cannabis cultivation, including an early collaboration with the University of Mississippi beginning in 2004 focused on plant genetics.
Beyond cultivation, Advanced Nutrients’ leadership is associated with the Humanity Heroes Foundation, which supports humanitarian outreach initiatives including aid for unhoused communities and disaster-impacted growers. As a privately held company, financial details are not publicly disclosed, though industry estimates place Advanced Nutrients among the largest global suppliers of cannabis-specific nutrients.
