SD has some nice root structure but the others hahaha ,,,,,i didnt even take 1 of SD 4 it was pathetic like the plant used all the usable dirt and was left with Pine bark chunks .........so this was the beginners phase because i definitly will never grow in those again
Also after looking back at the dirt/Plant line up .....ITs BR 1 not BR3 .......a few months of claiming her as BR 3 has been a MIstake .......other wise i can see why i have 2 fucking worthless BRs, .......if the roots are smothered like this in the soils ....my poor babies cant breathe in the bottom of the bags ....
PLastic row bags and cheap dense soils ......NO BUENO the bottom of a SD was solid as a rock .....felt like i was trying to break up a coco coir block
so I would say DONT USE CHEAP SOILS !!!!!!!they suck they will need some serious ammendments to work properly
