Why is General Hydroponics now labeled as Terra Aquatics on Grow Diaries?

Not really a grow question, but does anyone know why General Hydroponics are now labeled as Terra Aquatics? All my harvests and grow dairies say Terra now, and I've never used them, and I know I selected general Hydronics when inputting all the information.

The TA PH down formula is not the same as current GHE one. https://generalhydroponics.com/resources/ph-down-liquid-safety-data-sheet/ https://www.terraaquatica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/SDS-pH-2023-V7-En.pdf The GHE contains the follow active ingredients: Phosphoric acid 10 - 30% Ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate 15 - 10% Citric acid 5 - 10% The TA contains the follow active ingredients: Phosphoric acid 10% Citric acid 9-10% Nitric acid <3% Nitric acids are strong, so If anything I would have guessed TA is a better lowering agent but concentration matters. The 10 to 30% phosphoric acid range on GHE brand is weird. Such a large gap. I use a 85% Phosphoric acid as my ph down. nothing else. made by dutch hydroponics I could see myself using a citric acid mixture in the future when I run out, its a powder so easier to store then a liquid plus citric acids great for descaling.

Capitalism business, Babylon system man …. The PH down is more diluted… you must use more to lower your pH now …. Bumboclaat !

As others have said the company got bought a while ago and they have re branded it. From what I can tell everything is the same just a different label.

the european side of the company remains independent of scott's group (great news). the original formulation remains on TA products explaination by one of the founders www.youtube.com/watch www.youtube.com/watch

If you scrolled down on the brands page I posted this on their wall as I was also confused. The original General Hydroponics company was bought out by Scotts Miracle-Gro in 2015, Terra Aquatica is the independent offshoot that formed after that merger. https://www.hydroexperts.com.au/Why-a-new-brand If anything stop buying GHE branded products as they are not the same ownership anymore and switch over to TA branded products. Or don't, I did not see any altering on the composition of any of the fertilizers but thats not saying it can't happen down the line, who knows its Scotts Miracle-Gro.
