yeah if i was going to screen all the balls out i think i would just buy the FFOF just because i wouldnt have to sit there and screen my soil before i used it. To me that is worth the extra ten bucks lol

no, doesnt look like it. but dont bust one ON your plant!!!! i did that on my first grow, and it stunted it a week or so, then it grew pretty good!

umm, craigdogg, you may want to read this entire thread sir, or ma'am. This was a non-fiction experiment, and the results are not the same as you may think.

dood where in cali are you im in so cal and you CAN NOT WILL NOT WILL NEVER find FF at an ACE hardware.... and it is so not 10 dollars a bag try closer to 25 with the tax added on there 20 ish if you dont count tax if i could get FF for 10 bucks a bag im sorry but FUCK MG if i can get the FF for the same price because i have NEVER had an issue with bugs with FF but on the other hand you can get good mg too that doesnt have bugs if you look careful and get it from the right place. I just like FF's mix better than MG personally but the price is just so NOT right which is why i will always buy MG unless i can get my FF for the same price then its just a toss up as to what you prefer personally i dont think that one is so much better than the other i think it has more to do with price than quality

Vortex soil? What haven't you been smokin?

The MG wasn't garbage, you just have no clue how to grow. I'll bet you couldn't grow a weed...... oh wait....

I started off a set of plants in MG potting mix 6 month feed... no issues so far, but i plan on using fox farm for my next grow... Didn't have the money for this one. I really thinks its all a matter of preference and opinion. It's all trial and error by user. I'm sure everyone will have different results... It's not like we are in a laboratory, where you can truly make sure there are no variables to possibly change the outcome. I wish everyone the best of luck with their grows, regardless of what medium or brand they choose.

p.s., unlike the other guy, I actually read through the entire thread, and found a lot of great info on here about using MG and whatnot. So thanks... :)
