Hello, I just got my order in from A.N. I got them off Ebay and thier all sample size bottles I got for about $7.00 a piece. Problem is that they came in clear plastic bottles. They are labeled with their name, but no other information. I was wondering if anyone out there could post some pictures of the product labels. The person on Ebay said these were the most recently released formulas. Here's a list and short discription of what I got.

Iguana Juice Grow/Bloom-8oz. (of each) -light brown, Smell is hard to place, reminds me a little of "Spice" that fake Marijuana stuff. Earthy/Plant like oder.
Bud Candy-8oz.-clear, no smell.
Big Bud-8oz.-see-through brown, smells sweet, like Suger Daddy.
Overdrive-8oz.-see-through brown, no smell.
Nirvana-6oz.-dark brown, same smell as Big Bud, but not as strong.
Rhino Skin-6oz.-clear with a slight white haze (I'm thinking the white haze and little particles in there are the Potassium Silicate) no smell.
Voodoo Juice-6oz.-neon yellow (like Gatorade) no smell.
Is this how they should be? Any and all information would be helpful as this is my first time useing A.N. I plan on grow in Pro-Mix Ultimate Organic Mix from htgsupply.com. (I live near one of thier retail locations.) and will be growing in 2 gal. Phat Sac fabric pots (Smart Pot knock-off from htgsupply.com)
I think I have the feeding schedule down as I will feed once a week and water 1-2 times with plain water in between. Again, any and all information would be helpful.
Thankyou

It's all on their website.
I'm always leery of buying repackaged nutrients. I once bought 4l of iguana and 4 l of organic b-1 off eBay- both were something other than AN products. The iguana juice ( my first time trying it) smelled like raw sewage; and, because I didnt know any better, I used it... My mistake brought fungus gnats and pathetic buds. I tried to get my money back through paypal but the seller burned a few ppl, and was already booted off PayPal by the time I attempted to make my complaint. my advice: only buy from high volume hydro dealers who have good feed back.

I considered that, but the person has a near perfect feed record. Only negatives are by someone who said shipping took too long and a couple stupid people complained about the nutrients be packed in clear plastic bottles and not in factory bottles even though it says in the aution that this is how they will come. Obviously the person buys gallon jugs or larger and repacks it. I also watched the auction for a while and many people ordered packages, so I believe the seller does not have nutrients sitting around for long periods of time.

Thats good. Hope he/she shakes his stock before he/she repacks it- or, hope he/she doesnt dilute the nutrients with distilled water. BTW, what he/she does is not cool with AN.

What this person is doing would not be cool with any company as reselling without a license is illegal. On the other other hand, the one thing that pretty much everybody agrees on is that A.N. is overpriced. Besides, as I see it, A.N. should be happy because if it wasn't for this deal I would never have tried A.N. do to cost. I may like it and decide it's worth the buying full size bottles at my hydro store.
Can anyone tell me if the nutrients I recieved look/smell correct?

I can tell you the big bud, iguana juice and voodoo juice are like you have stated.
I personally say who gives a shit what A.N thinks, they certainly dont care what you think.

Thanks for the information haulinbass. Now all I need is someone to verify the other 4. Also, I read on thcfarmer.com that Bud Candy is as I described because A.N. has taken out the molasses, but apparently still has it on the label. Can anyone confirm this?

You know, I'd be a little hesitatant to use something that didn't come directly from a manufacturer, but I also like to save money, so I'd probably give this a shot.

it sounds like the seller is reputable, and if you can find AN for cheap, that's awesome. Hope everything works out well for the plants!

Thanks Motherhugger. Like I said, I watched the auction for a few weeks since it's one of those auto-renew types 30 days at a time. I also sent a few emails to the seller mostly just to check how communications would go if there was a problem and I got responses within 24 hrs. I was also able to confirm the nutrients are as they should be thanks to some help from my local hydro store.

I have looked at all of these guys that sell on ebay with great suspicion. Most of the nutrients lines need to be protected from light to not go bad. Also I know for a fact that Advanced has a few products that will turn if they aren't kept at the right temps. Bud factor x gets brownish when it gets too hot. Happened to me when I left a bottle in the room for a few days between feedings. I know it sucks when you are trying to get started but I would try some of the online guys that show up on the front page of google. They are there for a reason. Some of them sell the 250ml sizes.
