I'll be leaving a story on the site but safe to say it is quite the story. What it comes down to in many ways is had I known what shit writing for the Canna industry would bring into my world I would never have written a single word. Lesson learned and I have moved on into a far more positive space. Enjoy the old work you managed to pirate. This thread though makes me feel great about walking away and never looking back. Out.

Scratching my head, I don't get it.

You realize people pass around your stuff because it's good info, and your mad about that? Seems weird.

Agreed. It's not like this was copyrighted published work in print or something. I have a feeling that glow recently realized that was his big folly all along, not working with a publisher. So, now he's attempting to scrub his work from the internet (which will obviously never work). People gotta realize in this day in age, that once you post something publicly, it's out there -- for the public. So long as it's not being lifted word for word by someone else for profit, it shouldn't be an issue.

Actually, I published a book (Integral Hydroponics) in 2001 - 02. It was widely pirated and counterfeited (yup, literally scanned and reprinted word for word and passed off as the original). You were perhaps in primary school then:-) Funnily enough this book was sold right up to 2022 when I instructed the publisher to remove it from the market (by then it was perhaps paying me $1,500 AUD a year). Piracy and counterfeiting ensured I received a pittance and I was done with dealing in a highly dysfunctional market of freeloaders, parasites and thieves. Now I have low rent retrograde stains on humanity trading off my work (thousands of hours in research and writing etc) claiming they are linked to or even behind Manic Botanix and that is the real reason I have shut it all down. I was young when I first wrote for the industry and my work has been pivotal in raising the bar of knowledge (e.g. I was the guy who blew the lid publicly on PGRs, going toe to toe with organised crime which resulted in the CDFA pulling untold products/poisons from shelves in the USA - e.g. Phosphoload, Flower Dragon, Gravity, Bloom Ooze etc - and the beginning of the kickback against PGR peddling scum) but here we are with a bunch of idiots blowing ignorant shit which is indicative of forums and social media (the dumbing down of humanity where any ignorant moron can pretend they know their shit, even conning the more ignorant that hey this guy seems legit). Another thing, Manic Botanix hasn't been closed due to piracy. It has long had a copy protect plugin on the site after dipshits would cut and paste my work on forums like this without crediting the source, resulting also in messing with my sites SEO - although fortunately Google now ranks grow forums very lowly because they just aren't seen as a credible source of information (hardly any wonder to that). However, the problem with piracy is many great books will never be written because what is the point of busting your arse and giving expert knowledge when some freeloading fuckwit thinks they deserve it freely? Bottom line, in the age of piracy and other forms of rampant exploitation it is best to not be a creative and instead focus on money earning businesses (and that is what I do now and have done for some time). BTW - I lost a fortune through having an association to the canna industry and being high profile within that industry. E.g. I was targeted by the police in a 3 year operation, left my onetime home country permanently because of this, lost my house, and even lost a country to call home. But here we are where people like yourself feel you are owed. No thanks from anyone saying hey man thanks for all you did. Thanks for teaching us so much freely for years without expecting a cent in return. Thanks for busting your arse and putting your freedom and liberty on the line to take it to the man but instead a load of BS from halfwitted, clueless ignorant fuckwits like yourself (dickhead!!). To top it all off, while I am busy running a business I now have to go after the web archive (who were recently sued by publishers and who are now the subject of future pending class legal action for piracy) to get my illegally obtained content removed from their pirate site. Pretty easy math yes? You'd have to be mental right? Why bother? Out! Goodbye!! And good riddance!

OK dude. Actually I took the majority of my college horticulture classes prior to 2000. I guess that's why you never showed up in any of my text books. Good luck, and dun let the door hit you on the way out.

Lol - not at all. The book was always the dummies guide for beginners (although the publisher asked me to add intermediates as well because canna growers aren't the smartest bunch). That said, I was the only/first author who promoted growing in DTW coconut coir in a chapter called "My Preferred Method of Growing" back in the day, keeping in mind this was now about 23 years ago (BTW, 23 years on a recent study highlighted that coir was perhaps the most ideal substrate for large scale cannabis production - duh, do say.... go figure!!) and ironically given this thread the first Canna author who promoted the use of silica (in the book). I also called a big future for beneficial bacteria and fungi in hydro production in this book and to this day if people followed the very easy to dissect advice re temperatures, humidity etc they would be better off than by following advice given by many clowns who populate forums. It's quite bizarre because most of what is said in that book turned out to be accurate and years ahead of its time and yet the material was originally written for a website and was never intended to be published in book form. It's actually hilarious that you are trying to wind me up on a silica thread where you are posting my material (in breach of my copyright I might add) and citing it as a credible source while at the same time ranting about a book I wrote to which you know nothing re its history and the impact it had on the target market - e.g. Australia became the coco nation overnight and to this day approx 95% of Australians grow DTW in coir). Haha so all good lads and as I have now said a couple of times based on the retards, free loaders, haters and parasites encountered on this thread you lads have supported that me walking away was the only sane call to make. Thanks for the confirmation, support and inspiration chaps! This has been so inspiring as to why I should just exit the culture and write no more for it. Best of luck to you all. That's the last from me here. Adios. I will not be back:-)
