Trust me I agree with Organicess
I usually don't believe a damn thing unless I can verify it myself
and this one is proving hard to do with a search via the net.....
So let's analyze this for a sec...
First and foremost think $$$$$$$$$$
It's always the key
Let's say you have a family run business like Fox Farms
They basicly cater to the MJ for their bulk of their actual net worth...
Of course they will never admit to this just as the douche bag owner of
Sun Systems Hoods and lighting...He will publicly slam MJ and the growers
but we all know this sector keeps his assembly lines moving and his company
in the black...
So now focus back on Foxfarms,,,they are fully aware of the mindset and ethics
of the MJ community...and Monsanto/Scotts knows fully that their corporate
absorption of FF needs to remain a secret to maintain the economic viability of
this investment....It's money people
It always is...
What would
Happy Frog and Fox Farms be worth tomorrow if it were public?
The community would in the name of it's very nature dump it wholesale from
their use.....it's the way we are....we tend to think we give a shit and large corporations
and Banks arent exactly popular at the moment.....
So They buy them out with the arrangement that its kept secret and denied at every level.
This with a signed clause and contract ,,,,it's done every day...not exactly far fetched...
