Michael Straumietis

With more than 30 years expertise in advanced plant nutrition, Michael Straumietis is widely regarded as an expert in the production of Marijuana. Over the years, he has clashed head-on with gangs, federal and local authorities and even slightly crazy girlfriends. None of them has stopped him from achieving his lifelong goal of cultivating the best possible cannabis plant.

With the legalization of pot in many jurisdictions, there is now growing recognition of Mike's work. He spent decades researching the best soil for each variant. This research, combined with some business acumen led Mike to create his highly successful company, Advanced Nutrients. The business provides hydroponic growers with everything they require to produce fast growing, high yield cannabis plants which are used for recreational and medical use.

Having started as a small grower in the 1908s, Mike Straumietis realized that he had a natural talent for all things green; a talent which soon saw his reputation growing as fast as his plants. He was soon cultivating huge grows in unused swamp land, flying over them every week to check on the progress of the crop.

As business boomed, so did his revenues and yet Mike continued, even in the face of some serious personal risk. As with so many business innovators, Mike wasn’t in it for the money; his greatest kick was the growing process itself and helping others along the way. With increasing legalization, Mike can continue to share his expertise without the associated risks.
