GH falls under the Hawthorne Gardening which is owned by Scotts Miracle-Gro. The only business Scotts has with Bayer is that they are the exclusive distributor of RoundUp.
Scotts also owns Botanicare, Mother Earth, Sun Systems, Gavita, Titan Controls, Can Filters, and a bunch of other companies. All of those companies were acquired and have basically been left to run their business as they had with the same employee's. Those employees have nothing to do with Bayer. Boycotting companies just because they're owned by another company you think is the Big Bad Wolf only hurts the little guy because if sales go down they will lay off employees that are just like you and me trying to make a living and survive.
Scotts was also the biggest backer of the legalization efforts in New Jersey and New York. Dumping over $1 million into the successful effort.
Cannabis is big business. And big business is moving in. That will benefit growers by driving the cost of growing supplies down. People can hate all they want but Scotts is doing more for cannabis than many. They might be profit motivated but who isn't? Without deep pockets like Scotts. legalization efforts in many states would not have advanced as they have.
