General Hydroponics (Black Magic) at Home Depot

[BillFarthing]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]General Hydroponics got what they wanted from the buyout from Scotts. They got mainstream distribution at Home Depot. They rebranded their products as "Black Magic".

I welcome the convenience of being able to pick up their products at my local Home Depot. How about you? [/FONT]

It's trippy. Definitely cool. What blows my mind is all the ACE Hardware stores around me have a huge section devoted to hydroponics with some pretty sophisticated stuff. I love being able to pick up some Superthrive or Earth Juice while getting light bulbs or whatever.

Im seeing nothing? just some fabric pots

.....it's a clear indication that pot's gone mainstream and is accepted by the general public!

I only see the fabric pots when I click on the link on my phone too. Search for "Black Magic" on the Home De Pot website on a computer and they pop right up.

It looks like they have an A/B hydro fertilizer (any guesses what it is?), some watered down Floralicious Plus, an all-purpose organic dry fert, a Promix-like bale, some premium potting soil, Rapid Rooters, and a coco/perlite mix.

It's an interesting mix to go into the commercial market with.

This has absolutely zero to do with pot!
GH is a fertilizer company and nothing more.

Do you still get free fungus gnats, mites and thrips with every purchase?

Or is that a premium service?

oh, OK, like we don't use a lot of GH fertilizer????

The M.S.D.S. says this stuff was tested on animals?! WTF!?!

Tested on rats, guinea pigs and rabbits!?!!?

Their slogan is creepy as hell... "Darkness for the greater good."

Oh yea, like buying two bottles of GH products every three months or so makes me a slave. Is this how you really look at the world?

I look at the sig in your avatar that says "Donald Trump is a nazi". Is that how you really look at the world?

I'm happy for Gen Hydro. I really like the idea of the availability of premium and hydro fertilizer for the general public. I mix my own salts, but I would recommend it to any serious gardener or if I get in a pinch.
