because using it straight out of the bag i had deficincies in week 2 of veg. for all the stuff it says it has in it, there is no way this should happen and im not the only one. ive seen many posts stating the same thing.i am by no means a new grower and never had this problem before. the soil i mix is a basic mix and blows this away. i was just hoping i could use it out of the bag and get good results so i can stop mixing and not pay a fortune for the other soils on the market that work good. looks like im still mixing LOLI disagree very much about soils being junk...im having some of the best results i ever had using soil and compost.....perhaps you should elaborate more about it as im curious to why you think its junk
