Regardless of any analysis the Scotts/Monsanto/Bayer unholy alliance is a trio of companies that should not be supported with pot grower dollars. They've bought out companies like GH, Botanicaire and Gavita and have their sights set on dominating the pot market eventually like they have been working at in the commercial farming market. I boycott companies that do harm and not just companies that sell growing products.
Campbell's soups now use High Fructose Corn Syrup in the tomato soup I've eaten for 60+ years so anything Campell's is off my shopping list. Anything with HFCS is off my list and that includes things like Dempsters bread, Heinz ketchup, all sodas and the list goes on. Here in Canada glucose-fructose is on the labels of many foods and is actually HFCS. A huge factor in the epidemic of diabetes, obesity and a host of other health problems costing billions and is a huge burden on our health systems.
Long before Scotts through it's subsidiary company, Hawthorne, bought out GH etc GH denied it's products were made to grow pot with when they knew that we were their best customers. Why support a company that denies you exist?
Bayer Monsanto Merger Will Steal The Marijuana Industry
Monsanto has a deep business partnership with Scotts Miracle-Gro, a convicted corporate criminal– and Scott’s Miracle-Gro is trying to take over the marijuana industry.
In the past two years, a Scotts Miracle-Gro front group purchased General Hydroponics, Botanicare, and Gavita.
Scotts Miracle-Gro CEO Jim Hagadorn says he intends to spend as much as HALF A BILLION DOLLARS to buy out the cannabis industry.
Major hydroponics nutrients, lighting, soil, and other grow equipment manufacturers report they’ve also been offered takeover bids by Scotts Miracle-Gro or its “Hawthorne” front company.
The corporate interests and immense political power of Bayer, Monsanto, and Scotts Miracle-Gro, enforced by the World Trade Organization and international patent law, could result in corporate ownership of marijuana seed stock, prohibition of cannabis growers producing their own strains, GMO marijuana, and decrease in the number of cannabis strains available.
Accompanying Monsanto’s agricultural monopoly strategy is their goal to increase pharmaceuticalization and medical products monopolies, so growing your own medical marijuana will be banned, and you’ll be forced to buy “medical products” such as Sativex, he says.
What can we do to stop these world-controlling elites?
Straumietis suggests the following tactics:
Make marijuana seeds and store them properly.
Boycott General Hydroponics, Botanicare, Gavita, and any other company that does business with Scotts Miracle-Gro, Monsanto, or Bayer.
Don’t use RoundUp or any other product made by Bayer, Scotts Miracle-Gro, or Bayer.
Don’t use products containing GMOs.
Join with groups that oppose criminal corporations and GMOs. Go

Grow your own marijuana, breed it, and increase its legality.
“Corporations and people with hundreds of billions of dollars know marijuana is a miracle plant. They want to come in and steal our plants, seeds, and industry from us,” Straumietis says. “We must stop them.”
I've been actively fighting against the evil in our lives since I was a teen in the late 60's. Marching with Greenpeace, sailed on the Edgewater Fortune aka the Greenpeace Too a converted minesweeper first commissioned in 1954, the year of my birth.
I grew up next to Vancouver so went on many marches and protests. Arrived a little late for the Gastown riot but still got chased down Water St. by cops on horseback along with a crowd of people. Got there on time for the Smoke-In where the cops stood by but left everyone alone. A good time was had by all!
Have been eating whole grains and taking some supplements since my early teens. Haven't had a Big Mac in over 30 years and never eat at fast food joints to this day.
Big Food, Big Ag and Big Pharma just want our money and don't give a Tinker's Damn how many people they harm in their obsession with profit. What Mon$atan and their ilk has done with Big Ag they now want to do with cannabis and I sure won't knowingly help them accomplish their goals.
Root Farm products sold in stores here in Canada like Canadian Tire and Walmart are made by the Hawthorne/Scotts/Mon$atan/Bayer group and should be avoided as well.
Care and be aware.
