Where are they located ?
Where was the store representing Growlife located ?
Where was the Go Green you contacted located ?
Still waiting to hear if the leasing program was the "impact deal " that MH was flying-has anyone communicated with him on twitter
regarding future DEALS -he was "waiting to announce when complete "
Is there a way to see what CUBE sales have been generated .
Possibly in next Q report or requesting information that is supposed to be public . Has anyone asked MH if the lease program was the major announcement that he talked about
Thanks for the advice

Thank you for such constructive input and continue to enjoy your
ride
To sagomonkey'
First off let me say you are referencing the wrong person about the phone call In answer to your last blurb .I have been a holder of PHOT as long as you ,maybe longer ;and not made a lot of money .
In fact -in the hole and wishing for PHOT to rise to the potential
it had and still has ,if the CEO would start building the company and not his own pocket -at the expense of naive trusting investors
who get swept into his false hype . I have not bashed PHOT -just
the CEO and his motives -which have become apparent to many on this board. I do not have the sources to ride the ups and downs ,as many are doing now -and I understand that this is their choice and part of the pinkies . If you were an early investor you probably also hoped for PHOT to someday rise above the pinkies and become the company it professed to be in it's goals -it's apparent this is not happening-and attention needs to be called to the reasons why
If no one calls certain individuals accountable ,they will continue their behavior as long as they can get away with it.Let me know that you got this blurb -since your blurb has already disappeared
and I can't send this privately.
I have the name of the person I spoke to and also the message left on my message service .I was not at home at initial call and returned their call from message .Spoke to person for about 20 minutes and she gave me facts ,as she checked them on her computer .
I asked where she was located -WASH DC and she also gave me a # to call at SEC -if I wanted I assume you are referencing the call to FINRA
Did they get shares as part of enticement to get involved ?
Did the store mention that they had been called about this ?
Spoke to FINRA again today . They called to let me know that essentially since 2/25/16 no one has actually been monitoring
PHOT and thus not monitoring PHOT for a MM . The drop to OTCBB
was because of "INSUFFICIENT ACTIVITY" and the selling of unsolicited shares is NOT really monitored . The selling does not go through an official agent required to meet certain criteria
and can be set up in any way THEY want. These shares are private deals and not recorded or followed by official sources (thus open to any manipulation ) SORT of sounds familiar YEH ?. They are NOT deals through agents and not listed .They have not been followed since drop to OTCBB. There are also 2 categories above OTCQB-they are in the OTC -F categories (have higher requirements).They said that regulation of brokers was FINRA ;but regulation of the company was a SEC matter and the 2 don't necessarily communicate with each other and it is possible for some things to slip through the cracks.
My last blurbs were deleted from this board and would like to know what happens if the Fairmount store returns the call (from higher ups ) and whether our initial calls were correct about -no idea about Growlife . Hopefully this quote will stay up long enough to get through to the people dealing with MH's slick story telling and
working the system short comings.
Did you also call Fairmount store
VNDM has been doing what they do -The killing has been implemented by the board which chose to use them and run with them .
I agree that swing is the only way to profit from this stock . The only way for old long holders to recover ,after having averaged down , ( within their financial tolerance )and the risk of PHOT
closure is to sit it out and hope for Marco's shift to Honesty
and integrity .He surely has not shown that to date. Your right on stating that he is an expert of exit strategy and gets paid well while he he is doing it. People keep questioning why he would
go through the whole process of getting off greys-Because he gets
paid well and that's what he does. The process will continue until the full outstanding shares reaches the 3 billion authorized
limit ,unless some exposure or authority steps in before that time.
How high the spikes will go depends on the psychi of the MJ market.
It is a real travesty that PHOT can't reach it's real potential
when the CEO has the wrong intent or the board who hired him to apply their intent (a way to produce capital with hype )
Read my blurb 104214 and 104246 .I was asked from disbelief and attack to provide some info for my negative thoughts about PHOT management . I personally spoke to the original 211 filer and FINRA and reported back .
followed by being called a liar and trying to be the gospel of a board .
You have been upfront with your assessments .These 2 blurbs and the ones in between may provide some first hand info from the original MM who pulled out and FINRA
No it does not ;but government sometimes works in strange ways ? I have No idea how this all came about -only reporting back to you want was told to me by FINRA and Donald Weckstein (see #104214) FINRA said that they had no MM listed for PHOT and they considered "unsolicited shares", as not under regulatory control and thus NOT considered a MM . The agents for unsolicited shares can hold ,buy ,sell at their will and desire and are not bound to proper spread or disclosure (sort of what's been going on )
PHOT is not on BOARD (Weckstein looked it up for me and said NO MM ).
He said he never got involved with them and pulled his 211 -when closing
his official office after 30 yrs and handling assets of $560,000,000.
The only guess I could make was that PHOT got the initial 211;but remember they were dropped from OTCQB to OTCBB about 3 wks after off greys. Before the 30 day wait for piggyback MM s opened . They have been trying to get back on OTCQB since then -quote MH and need a MM ( need above .01 )
I am NOT happy hearing this -hoping for PHOT to RISE on the legit and recover some of my loss after averaged down-done. This is not reporting to be negative -it just questions the ability of PHOT to rise above short bursts of pump-which will still occur . I HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING A LIER BY CYCLER .
Facts not gospel
Also spoke to FINRA and they gave me confirming info about his existence and closing . His name is Donald E.Weckstein -I believe the E is for Edward
I reported this info back to you because you asked for real info -not to be accused of a lie -have a good day and hopefully MH starts to deal in truth so PHOT can rise for more than 1 week
I said D Weckstein out of professional respect . His name is Donald
E. Weckstein and his company was listed as D Weckstein and Co .
I didn't know I would get him at home and was also surprised . I know nothing about a foreign woman answering-spoke only to him.
Believe what you want and do your own DD
Pinky king -see blurb #104214 - MH deception is the name of his game
He closed his office 6/16 ,but still does personal stuff and has his phone and computer setup transferred to his home . Spoke to him at his home.He was broker /trader for 30 years and company handled $560,000,000
in assets. We had some common topics about Phila and Univ. of Penna.
see post 10424 -the prices that seem to be floating around today can be easily manipulated to serve the handling agents needs -there is no overseeing body or registered agent /per FINRA
To cycler and arn182 and those interested
I checked with D Weckstein and Co. -spoke to D Weckstein PERSONALLY Today
HE is no longer in business and closed 6/16. He stated that he originally
filed the 211 and then closed business -"removing him as a MM. He never had any transactions with the CO. and said there was nothing there.
I checked with FINRA and that was correct -that he NO LONGER is registered with FINRA and not considered a viable MM as of 6/16. He further checked the OTC board for me and said they have NO MM and are not in the system .
Their shares are only traded as "unsolicited "(not him we know this already) and not part of the system.
He told me that means they are trading unregistered stock and if there is nothing there to substantiate it -THAT IS ILLEGAL . He NEVER had anything to do with their stock and withdrew before any trading . THIS GENTLEMAN
was a LONG time Trader based out of NY -PARK AVE OFFICE -He is retired
Agreed -ACE is big enough to provide the stores in all the right areas.
Hopefully they will be fully involved in promoting this new marketing area in their promotion.
Let's stop the negative and hope for PHOT success . For your own reference
go back to your blurbs starting 11/1 until 12/17, especially the one stating that MH owes it to the long time holders .
I am not trying to steal other peoples shares . I am holding many shares
and hoping for PHOT to thrive -just have serious questions about MH 's intent to build long lasting stable company rather than the quick ups and downs and then dissolve . I know it comes off negative ;but it's because PHOT does have the Potential -not just the Penny Stock games.
I will try to get some info from digging way back in files -tomorrow
the FINRA office reopens . The issue is " unsolicited quotes " which the SEC
and FINRA both describe as highly susceptible to manipulation .
You have definitely changed your feelings since your 12/17/16 #103710
blurb -that was 2 weeks ago -what changed your feelings about MH and his
management -since then -the ACE deal?
I believe this application was withdrawn and they are still trying to acquire a MM and be upgraded to OTCQB. By the way ,I had Nothing to do with the deletions -it was done by bd administrator .
I wish PHOT ,you and your family the best for the New Year .
I grew up Phila in the exact neighborhood as the store . There are many of US present Stockholders who question MH and there has been no stockholder meeting . It's a shame you can't handle comments counter to your own .
Maybe you should go off the board so you don't have to read opinions other than yours
NOT bashing the concept of MJ growth or the potential for PHOT to return
to a leadership role -just questioning the intent of MH for LONG term growth
Worth doing your own DD on this store -hopefully a new start and not just a continuance of MH self serving propaganda
Looked up the "LAUNCH STORE " ACE HARDWARE FAIRMOUNT AVE PHILA PA .
Store is small ,old and in bad neighborhood with a Home Depot relatively close. Store reviews average 2-3/5 stars with complaints about staff and
poor attitude. How did this become "LAUNCH STORE" .What is actual involvement of ACE CORP ? Who is going to due PR for this new line
and who is putting necessary $$ into this startup . ACE is Large corp
(name dropping ) ;but how involved are they in developing this new line ?
I hope this is not the end of the "HIGH IMPACT NEWS - promoted by MH
You should have highlighted NORMALLY
The problem is that PHOT in NOT on the OCTQB -it has been fighting to get back to open trading since it was quickly taken off of that
status . The filing was withdrawn and they have not been returned to OCTQB . MH even mentions it in his tweet about his efforts to return
to OCTQB status.
In regard to long winded response -things are NOT as SIMPLE as
short blurbs
THAT IS INCORRECT -PHOT DOES NOT HAVE MM -they are not on open trading company with MM -they are in a class lower than
than open listing and trying to get back to OCTBB.
It is not doom and gloom to face some of the realities of this
company . The truth lies somewhere between the pump and the dump.
Yes people can make money riding the waves ;but others are more
concerned with the ability of PHOT to maintain it's existence and
ability to achieve that LONG term success that everyone euphorically
talks about . There are business's that make a quick buck and
money for those in control and there are businesses that build
an empire and become consistent money producers for those who waited
and rode out the storms while being critical of the process .
PHOT has a DEEP HOLE and yes this may be a start to ACTUAL building
;but that only happens with the critical reassessments that come
with fine tuning something-that is the responsibility of the
shareholders and management -the management is supposed to
perform for the shareholders and the company(there has been NO SHAREHOLDER MEETING)-just promises (bait ) from management.
A pillow can be SOFT AND WARM and PROVIDE COMFORT ;but if you
SINK TO DEEPLY into it ,you can be SMOTHERED . EUPHORIA CAN BE
JUST AS BAD AS NEGATIVITY -They both hide the TRUTH
What has been his response to that proposal ?
And who is going to do that -Growlife certainly hasn't in the past .
To date just hiding behind twitter ,while all other lines of communication and PR have been CUT
