yeah dude, I've been dying to use it in a grow. I'm mixing up some of subcools super soil (which works GREAT with 2 bags FF to 1 bag light warrior btw! thanks sub!) but this go around I wanna try with some roots. thanks for the reply man. Do you work for them or are you just a fan?

there 707 has 3 cf in it but all soil is different weights if you have a cf of cement it will weigh more than dirt

Your welcome, I am just a big fan of them!!! but fox farms soil are right behind and probably way better for the guy on a budget. i think my next go around is gonna be 2 bags RO to 1 bag Ocean Forest.

i wish my hydro store had the 707 formula looks like a better bang for the buck too.

what do you mean man? The Fox Farms stuff is way more expensive too, at least for the soils. Ive never used either company fertilizers or other products. Ive had horrible luck with the Fox Farms line, and have heard some pretty bad things about it too, even from sub. If youre having success with Roots id stick with it bro! I sure am!

every soil is different after you have grown in it and you know it, switching to a different brand you have to relearn the soil and how how things react in it, I say pick a soil and stick with it. I got Miracle grow Organic choice potting soil to work for me. a lot of people diss on Miracle Grow but you just have to adapt really.

so i picked a 1.5 cf bag today of the and was gonna be mixing it with another 1.5 cf bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest. i heard the RO mix seems to have cal & mag deficencies and was thinking about adding some Dolomite Lime to the mix. I've never used lime so I don't really know how much to add. I was thinking about 150 grams, does anyone think I should add more or less and why? thanks

That is Right on. You get the feel for mother earth and her helpers It's all good if you know how to use it.

I started with FF, but have switched to roots for the minerals and beneficials in the compost. Heard FF comes with pests.
