Looks solid to me. Probably won't use it for seedlings but otherwise looks like it covers about all bases. Don't know about the ratios but looks like some variation of subcool+coots formula. Looks to be really complete though, no kidding!
 
My local shop in Maryland ran out of FOF at the beginning of the year. Guy unloaded some faded old bags of this stuff to me instead of FOF. Definitely has much more perlite yo begin with. I was hesitant, but the side by sides I watched against my regular FOF mix did better than I expected. It was cheaper, but not by much. I'd use it again.
 
Sweet I mean I'm going to treat one pot like I do with my normal adding my mix to bottom half and a mix of this and coast of Maine and peat mix for top. It's supposed to be the same or similar to some Scotts performance organics that comes in a black bag but that's not sold in my state my buddy works @ a Scott's distribution center and it was supposed to have 30 bags a pallet it had 36 so he could of got more but he wasn't sure if I would even want it. @Mara Jade how did that work did you feed in veg or just flower any weird shit happen? AND @Nelly Nugs ya based for me, by the way nice ladies I've been seeing love seeing new exciting strains I'm kinda tiered of the box chain/ big name stuff keep it up.
Ps. I'm going to pm u soon to b's about some stuff

Fed BC nutes at 1/4 strength. The whole line. Had a kid that was about to expire and had to use it. Definitely a lot less hit than the FOF when side by side with the BC. Mix was 1/2 Fof, 1/4 perlite, 1/4 total gold. that's it. These got very very hungry real quick at the end. Granted, my bags were old and sun faded at discount. The same time they got hungry I switched from 315 cmh to HLG 550 r spec. They obviously got hungry for mag cal, but literally everything else too. Couldn't catch up. Now I know to turn the hlg down. It's already very perlite heavy in the bag.

IMPE @Fitzy it is generally a bad idea to stratify your soil. Roots prefer a homogeneous soil and grow better in them. If a tap root hits a spot that is too hot It will stop growing reducing the overall size of the root ball and stunting the plant. Bigger roots = bigger better plant.

I understand that and that's why I'm doing my normal soil also the soils are mixed very well and have had problems with them being much to big I've actually got the best results this way most people add way to much I try to give just enuff to get through veg. It's not actually layered it's kinda hard to explain the biggest thing is not over fertilizing. When I get into a bigger area I will be doing things differently but with a 20in deep by 40in long and 6ft tall big plants are a no no as I found out with my skunk#1 that took up the whole area and was 56in tall also the largest pots I use are on smaller plants like blue toof or 24carat and larger plants like hubbasquach auto ultimate I run in 1gal or 2gal now I don't no if 4 to 6oz out of a 1gal or 2gal or not but that's how I gauge if wat I'm doing is better or worse than time before ect I take lots of notes and stuff so I no wat works and wat doesn't for each strain I run. Definitely appreciate the heads up though which is why I love this place I wish people in the real world would be more helpful it's refreshing to see there are still awsome people out there still thanks again u keep giving me things to think about and try.
 
This is a Hawthorne Brand which is owned by Scotts (Miracle Grow). For some it may be an ethical issue, I know I try to avoid purchasing from them unless I can't source a product elsewhere.

It was free only reason I'm using it as I make my own soil but figure it was free I will use it.
