Alright- no review as if right now, I'm about to start with this stuff. I've got it in play right now. It is hot for sure.
I'm not going to start seedlings in it. I am going to cut it 50/50 with sphagnum and then add 20-30 percent perlite, and see how they do and I'm going to transplant/ tier into the soil straight, with a 20-30 percent perlite addition. This stuff is a bit heavy, a little barky- but it smells like you want to scrape the leaves away from the forest floor and expose that black beautiful dirt and lie down in your back and watch the light get filtered through the leaves. It smells like that.
Alfalfa meal and kelp- but no dolomitic lime- so there is the concern that it will get too acidic and present cal/mag issues along the way- especially for you LED guys (whose ranks I will be joining- if I can ever get this paper stacked right)
Anyway- look for an actual update / review round about Halloween. In the meantime- If you've grown in it, feel free to add your experience.
