I’ve been using this soil for the last 6 years and love it. Never once have I ever had a seedling burn. Anyone else use it and how do you like it

I like it I try to get that but can't always get it locally so I use coast of Maine now aswell and if you haven't tried the dry amendments pack with bloom and grow base and terp tea sea bird guano elemental and 1 or 2 others 3lb bags and 4oz of organism for 90$ on eBay check it out absolutely the easiest stuff I've even only used uprisings grow/bloom and terp tea bloom and got some of the best flavor I've got out of strains I 've ran much more that 1 time so now it's wat I use but recently picked up the seabird so time will tell how I like it but almost no deficiency @least as long as I keep them watered and don't let it completely dry (bad health) and even then still do very well.

Gonna use the Original version with my minor additions in my first indoor grow. Beautiful looking media and it's really full of microbial activity. With the little bit of amendments I added, it fired up in my mixing tote within a few hours and by the next morning, it was a shade under 130*F. I've made hundreds of TONS of compost and I've never seen anything fire up that quick and to that extent.
It should be an interesting grow.

Any way you’d consider writing up a beginners guide to preparing your own soil this way? I’d love to learn! I’m starting to get really sick of the coco coir headache.

I've got a little bit more detailed post somewhere on what I did for this grow. If I can find it, I'll post it here and edit it into my first post of my grow thread

Only soil I use. Love the stuff. I typically amend it with some elemental (powdered cal mag) in the base. Maybe some Roots foundation, but a very small amount. Has always done me right

The Roots organics original potting soil is what I have been using for about 2 years. It has worked well with clone starting and every stage of growth for me. My only problem with it is the availability. I have 3 garden supply shops that I go to and they have all been out for months. I use it for indoor and outdoors. I use their dry nutrients also.
