I love the growweedeasy site. I contribute monthly through patreon and come back regularly for updates and to get info at the drop of a hat. So I'm not writing this lightly. I've mentioned it before in another post or 2 but thought I'd start a thread specifically on the subject because the latest blog post addresses nutrient brands.
Bayer is at the top of this corporation food chain. They own Scotts who owns Hawthorne Gardening who owns General Hydroponics.
BTW, Bayer merged with Monsanto (who owns Scotts, et. all). So Bayer and Monsanto are one and the same.
If you think this corporation doesn't keep a heavy finger, at the very least, on general hydroponics please consider its history and present practices. From controlling seed stock (farmers aren't allowed (or can't because of genectic mod) to collect seed for next year's crops, insecticides engineered for specific crops bleed out into the wilderness and destroy flora which starves fauna. They created one of the largest superfund sites in the US where people still live and dye, Anniston, AL.
Monsanto is responsible for the likes of DDT and Agent Orange. "From 1935 until 1971, without warning its neighbors, Monsanto disposed of tens of thousands of pounds of PCBs by dumping them into creeks or burying them in and around Anniston."
They have created biological “dead zones” where nothing grows...and people still live.
Why the f would you use its nutes? There are so many other offerings out there, many of which are entities unto themselves.
We used to use GH until it was bought out by that corp. Now we used nutes from a family owned co with a clean reputation, another one of GWE's suggested nute brands.
And yes, I wish GH weren't suggested on the site at all.
End of rant/wish, for now.
