mycotek, first of all regarding our exchange above. I didn't mean to dis you by saying you were off topic on the hydro issue. I very poorly communicated the notion that what a lot of people have passed off in the past as hydroponic shrooms were in fact far from it. It didn't really come out right, I wasn't trying to run you off for that, only make a point as to what is considered hydroponic, where is the line etc.
Now, lets get a couple of other things straight. If you want to play inventor, and keep recipes etc secret so you can make a buck, fine. But at least have the balls to say so. We may not like it or your business or posting practices anymore than we do now, but I for one would have a little more respect for you. Hiding behind a lame ass excuse like "it will only work in my perfect and expensive machine" is so full of shit you could grow shrooms from it. Do you really think that there aren't many other, cheaper, easier DIY ways of getting around any problem or environmental parameter than your expensive kits? You seem to forget that people have been growing without any of your products, and many haven't seen anything come from you that gives better results. Yeah they are nice and turnkey, but nothing revolutionary so far as results. The mcultivator looked cool, but didn't even outyield shroomgod. The pod is very nice, but it's results aren't any better than what's been done for years without it. It's just a little easier, a little prettier and a lot more expensive.

FYI, the substrate would do you and the others here no good since it is specially designed to work in conjunction with the Hydra-Pod's hydration system.
Bullshit. I gaurantee you that within a month of you sharing the substrate, somebody on here could find a good use for it. The hydra-pod's hydration system is nice, but there are other ways around it that don't include buying from you. That's why you don't want to publish it, not because it would be no good to us. I can think of about 10 ways off the top of my head to possibly use the substrate without your pod, and only one of them is making the pod myself. So, do you really think people like myself, Anno etc etc etc couldn't find a use for it without the pod? Or is the point that you don't care if anybody could use it, you just want to keep a monopoly on it, not only retail, but also as an excuse to hype yourself in threads?
In reply to:
So, besides wether or not you guys will ever actually use it or benefit from it is totally irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that it can be done and is being done in my research and that is why I responded in this post in the first place. To validate the possibility of what said could not be done.
Hmmmm, what sounds more relevant to 99% of the people reading this? The possiblity that something read here will be useful or beneficial to us, or the nearly useless fact that somebody is working on some secretive R&D for a product which the vast majority of us will never buy? Mycotek, I think you just made a very public statement as to why you are on the boards. To hype your products. You just said yourself that it is irrelevant if we get any benefit from your experiments, the only relevance here is that you get a press release to hype your company. That's spam, by deffinition, and certainly doesn't seem like it belongs in a forum intended for people to share experiments, not give press releases hyping a company image.
You've got neat products. You are a skilled cultivator. You seem to be a skilled business man. But you are a horrible liar. The reason you won't post a recipe has nothing to do with the fact that you don't think it would be helpful. It's because you want to have the monopoly on it if it works out. And not just from other vendors who may sell it, but from people who might want to make it themselves. Just admit it.
Or prove me wrong. Post it. Or for that matter, if you aren't at a publishable point, post or otherwise share the original blueprints for the McCultivator. You originally claimed a lame ass excuse for not sharing those too, remember? Something about your lawyer not allowing you to share them because of the massive scale you would be producing them at. Well, we all know you aren't producing any of them at all, so I bet your lawyer wouldn't mind you sharing them, right. Or was that just another gimmick. You knew then that whether you shared the plans or not, it wouldn't affect your sales, cuz the people who would buy one of those things wouldn't have even looked at the plans. But by not sharing them, you could fill hundreds, thousands of posts in other threads with bits and pieces of helpful information, and lots of spam, product press releases, and company image building. Just like you are doing now. You are a shrewd PR man, I'll give you that. but don't insult me by thinking that it isn't obvious.
One other thing: you've always said that you don't care what people around here think about you. That is true. You just want to hype your products and build your company, it's name recognition and company image. No publicity is bad publicity, right?
BTW. you can't just say that "we are running you off for trying to help". I just encouraged you to help. If you want to that is.....
