LMAO, I just came back to this thread almost by accident...lol WOW...if I am not mistaken, I believe Jim either emailed me instructions or we talked via phone, any way, it really doesnt take a rocket scientist to follow directions, I still have the container sitting in my office, going to use it as a weed killer. he he

I'm quite thankful for the standards that Mischka has set into place regarding individuals such as Mr. "SHILL"enbeck and his "Chernobyl Grow" product.

Personally, I feel that I have learned a valuable lesson by proxy. A few years ago, I found a private label manufacturer who was making some pretty unusual products that I purchased and used. I had pondered over putting together a product line and tooting my own horn through the forum, but I'm sooooooo glad that I didn't. I probably would have been lynched if anything had ever gone wrong with another member.

The best product advice and testimonials I ever get from Tomatoville are always unbiased and usually from folks who are in the same predicament that I am.

I had this wart on my big toe that the doctor couldn't get rid of. I put some Atomic Grow on it and it shriveled up over night. Now my big toe glows in the dark and I can use it for a nite lite! Thanks Atomic Grow!

My hair has been thinning, but since I started putting Atomic Grow on my head I think that my hair is starting to grow in thicker!

Thanks Atomic Grow!

Sounds like a replacement for another failed product in my book, Superthrive.

I used it on my African violets one drop per gallon and it not only cooked them but caused the centers to tighten and get crusty. Just the smell of the product should have spelled warning. I have grown award winning plants mind you. Another product (perhaps more widely known) that has given my av's trouble with burning and tight brittle centers is dyn_gro 7-9-5 even when mixed at 1/8th teaspoon per gallon.

Some products work others don't............................................. ...........................................

Funny you should mention it Gflynn, I've been treating my tropical fish with ATOMIC GROW as a fin replacement therapy and the results, well frankly, are amazing!

Have they grown that "third eye" yet?

Wow.. I just clicked on this thread because of the rather interesting title. I read the first page, and that seems to be enough.

I think Mischka was rather smart how he handled the situation. For kicks I googled as perhaps someone would do, if thinking of using this product for tomatoes. I Googled: "atomic grow tomatoes." Was rather pleasantly surprised to see that this thread is listed on Google just below the product's home website. Hard not to notice the "Sucks!!!" when reading the search engine page... LOL!

Seems I will never buy the product, and advise against all others to do the same. Too many people (like Shellenback) hide in the anonymity of the web and use the opportunity to be rude or off putting.

[Sun City Linda]

I just read this from the beginning. Made my day!
Go Mischka LInda

Go back under your bridge, troll.

RE: Jim Shellenback v. Commerce Holdings, LLC; Notice of Infringement

Dear Mitschka:

We represent Mr. Shellenback in this current trademark matter.

Mr. Shellenback is the owner of United States Federal Trademark Application Serial No. 85231672 for the word mark ATOMIC GROW. Mr. Shellenback uses this mark in con★★★★★★★★ with his proprietary crop growth products. A copy of the federal trademark application data can be found at the following link:

http://tarr.uspto.gov/tarr?regser=se...Request+Status

Also note that Mr. Shellenback has used and promoted the name ATOMIC GROW in connection with his crop growth products for over 3 years, involving significant investments in time, effort, and financial resources. Mr. Shellenback owns the domain name www.atomicgrow.com, which is operating a live commercial website.

It has recently come to our attention that your company Commerce Holdings, LLC (“Commerce Holdings”), is publicly hosting a “stickied” thread entitled “Why Atomic Grow Sucks!” on its website www.tomatoville.com. On its face, it is clear that the forum thread refers directly to Mr. Shellenback’s products. Furthermore, a review of this thread reveals numerous unverifiable comments which attempt to make “factual” testimonials regarding Mr. Shellenback’s products. Therefore, for this reason, your usage of the mark ATOMIC GROW in connection with this forum thread is likely to cause confusion among the public and constitute a false representation that your company is somehow affiliated with or authorized to speak on behalf of Mr. Shellenback.

It is clear that such usage directly conflicts with Mr. Shellenback’s rights and usage to the mark ATOMIC GROW. This activity is actionable under federal law and may constitute unfair competition, intentional trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and false designation of origin.

In addition, because many of the negative comments geared toward Mr. Shellenback’s products contain purported “factual” testimonials that cannot be verified, such material may constitute defamatory statements entitling Mr. Shellenback to possible state and federal damages. In fact, entitling the forum “Why Atomic Grow Sucks!” actively invites visitors to submit potentially defamatory content and opens your company to possible contributory liability.

Given the above circumstances, we request that your company immediately: 1) take down the “Why Atomic Grow Sucks!” forum thread from www.tomatoville.com; and 2) cease and desist any and all use of ATOMIC GROWTM in connection with crop growth products.

We believe it is in our mutual best interests to communicate openly about the matter and thereby avoid future conflict and expense. It is our client’s intent to reach an amicable resolution to this matter as expeditiously as possible. Therefore, we require that you respond to this letter no later than Friday, July 8, 2011 at 5PM PST, alerting us of your intent to comply with the provisions of this letter. If we do not hear from you, we will proceed accordingly and initiate whatever legal action is necessary to assert our client’s rights.

This letter is written in the interest of confidential settlement. Nothing contained in this letter is intended to, nor shall it constitute, a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, claims, or positions possessed by Mr. Shellenback, all of which are expressly reserved.

Very truly yours,

RAJ ABHYANKER, PC
Attorneys for Mr. Shellenback

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dear Raj Abhyanker,

It is clearly my opinion and the opinion of many members here that the product sold and marketed by the company High Yield Industries, under the name "Atomic Grow" sucks.

Please commence litigation at your earliest convenience.

That is all.

p.s. - the thread stays.
