Looks pretty good to me on paper (OK, LCD). I'd have to feel it and see it to determine the structure, but as long as it retains sufficient water while allowing for good drainage of the excess, you'll be good to go.

The guy at the shop said its like subcools but is like to know what the ratios of the amendments and if it would last a full grow cycle

That's the problem letting others amend your soil. There is always that unknown variable. BUT, if you use a good organic all purpose nutrient like PlantTone by Espoma www.espoma.com you can use it as well and ensure that it will get you through. Soil is basically just a structural medium to hold the plant in place and retain enough water for the plant and allow excess to run off. Any nutrients in the soil should be the ones YOU put there. That eliminates the unknown.

I used the victory brand superior recently and did not like it.. I vegged and the plants yellowed after a few days, I even tried to feed them some teas and nothing. So 2 weeks ago I transplanted into 707 and they came back for some reason. I dont know what it is.
