For profit. Plain and simple.

@lusidghost was saying, it's not that we don't believe it's real....it's just a way for some companies to make money. Commercial growers are (generally) a joke. They usually are rich guys who know nothing about growing weed but want to make money. So their shit fails and they blame.........weed aids. Must be that because 'hell those stoners grow it and theyre all stupid so it must be easier than sticking my thumb up my ass. Yep. Weed aids. That was the culprit!'
Just like calmag.... Every new grower goes and buys calmag. I once had a bottle of calmag that turned into crystals because I never used it once. Now every problem is either weed aids or calmag or leaf septoria because it's the first thing that comes up on Google. It's SO EASY to hype something up in media. And the more they cram it down your throat the more your gag reflex softens and eventually you just Gorf down anything they shit into your mouth.
There's people who's job it is to trick you into purchasing their products. Be it mycorrhizal with actually 0 viable spores, molasses in a bottle of water with a cartoon character on the front promising sweet buds, tests that aren't even real results (how could you prove otherwise?). I read an article about a grower who sent samples to different labs and the results came back diff on both. One pos for weed aids one not. How's that even possible? 'lisa I never ran the tests'. Truth.
Corporations want your money. They see a new market open up with little to no regulation on certain products and all they see is $$$.
The world is evil. People are evil. Corporations are evil.
