Advanced Nutrients founder and CEO Mike “Big Mike” Straumietis and I had an excellent chat about the state of the cannabis industry recently. Advanced Nutrients is an international marketer and manufacturer of agricultural, home & garden, hydroponics fertilizers, and plant nutrients.
Founded in 1999, Advanced Nutrients, is the first fertilizer company with products specifically designed for cannabis plants. Today, Advanced Nutrients is the #1 selling hydroponic nutrient company and the cannabis industry’s most profitable company.
Mike himself has been involved in the industry since 1983, long before legalization and has seen all the markets develop and change globally, supplying the world’s leading cannabis growers with fertilizers and plant nutrition supplies. A proponent of plant-based medicines, Mike’s mission is to make cannabis an acceptable and everyday part of healing humanity.
Since 1983, “Big Mike” Straumieitis has worked tirelessly to find new ways to bring cannabis to its true genetic potential— operating both legally and as a supplier to the grey markets during the early days. He’s overseen the cultivation of over a million pot plants over the course of his career. In 1999, BigMike founded Advanced Nutrients, the first fertilizer company with products specifically designed for cannabis plants. Today, Advanced Nutrients is the #1 selling hydroponic nutrient company and the cannabis industry’s most profitable company.
As global experts in plant nutrition and soil science, the Advanced Nutrients team has manufactured organic fertilizers and soil conditioning agents designed to improve plant nutrient uptake, and support the development of organic beneficial bacteria that restore the natural balance of soil, helping the plants root and flower more efficiently.
