Hawthorne Gardening Company, formed in October 2014,[1] is The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company{{'}}s subsidiary for cannabis growers and one of the first major investments by a major United States corporation in the cannabis industry.[2] Hawthorne Gardening was created "to meet the demands of hydroponic growers (a.k.a. cannabis growers) ... [it] markets itself [to them] using language that's in line with the free-spirited, artisanal cannabis farmer."[ The business made its first cannabis-related investment in April, 2015, when it bought General Hydroponics, a 35-year old liquid nutrient maker, called by High Times "the standard for hydroponic growers".[1] After the 2015 purchase, a Hawthorne executive told the press, "the lion's share of General Hydroponics business in North America is cannabis growers".[5] Scotts's CEO decided to spin off a cannabis business after a 2013 visit to a garden store in Yakima, Washington with a large section of hydroponic equipment.[6] According to Forbes, Scotts had invested more than $250 million in the subsidiary by mid 2016.[6] In March 2018, the Hawthorne Gardening Company and The Flowr Corporation (a Canadian Licensed Producer of medical cannabis) announced an R&D partnership, building North America's first dedicated facility for cannabis research and development.[8]]References1. ^1 {{citation|title=Scotts Miracle-Gro homing in on 'big vision' for hydroponics as state-legal cannabis grows| work=The Cannabist|date=May 2, 2017|author=Alicia Wallace|url=http://www.thecannabist.co/2017/05/02/scotts-miracle-gro-hawthorne-cannabis-hydroponics-earnings-call/78747/|quote=The Marysville, Ohio-based Scotts has emerged as one of the biggest players in traditional business to publicly establish a foothold in the ancillary wings of the cannabis industry.}}
