MeinSatan'o? Damn, soon the era of petroleum dependent, sunlight resistant, 5% thc cannabis will be on us. AN and Xnutes are about the only honest ones left (honest insofar as they readily support cannabis growing).
shit that sucks.....i did a side by side outdoors with Fox Farms and roots organics and the FF had bigger yields and taste....
Well we knew miracle grow had been looking into starting a division or product line for cannabis growing, looks like they bought an already established brand

As far as i can tell this is a rumor started by some online mislabeled bags of fox farm soil and is false:

Thread is 2 and a half months old, apparently the rumor is even older. if anyone has any verification one way or the other, please post it.

Hopefully it is a rumor because that would suck to have our industry support a shitty company like Scotts...
I know I won't buy FoxFarm if I am sure it is connected to Monsanto in any way.
growinthehills, there's plenty of reasons not to buy Fox Farm and Monsanto is the least of them.
Just FYI... Scotts was sold in early 2011 and doesn't exist anymore as Scotts and also, Monsanto doesn't own Scotts. ICL does and it's now called Everris.
Unless ICL is owned by Monsanto (entirely possible, though I don't know atm) then Monsanto hasn't bought Fox Farm, or Scotts for that matter.
If anything, ICL should be raising some eyebrows. They are quietly cornering the market on both industrial and residential growing products from mediums to fertilizers (Scotts) to chemical pesticides & fungicides (Astaris/Solutia). How or if that relates to Monsanto's own desires to control the world, I can't be entirely sure. Yet.
Crazy talk, I know...
Nice thread, Krunch! lol

roots and ff are just soil scammers
This was not a hostile takeover. Fox Farm probably got a sweet deal. A lot businesses look for these types of sweet deals. You have to take them if it feels right cause the offer might never come round again. This is how business works.

I have been using both RO and FF for years and had great results with both. I amend the hell out of both, but they provide a good base. However I would not use FF if owned by Monsanto.
Pretty sure this is a rumor like above poster said and is not true.

No other confirming news story anywhere on the internet. Until there is some other news, I have to call BUNK on this. Only weed sites are reporting this.
