the only real issue I have with bagged soils are that they are ready for photos generally speaking if they are heavier on the foods and activity.which menas you have to thin it but how much? thats why I like getting say a Bale of sunshine or something similar for 60 bucks or less. then buy a KIS pack or similar pre measured recipe addition(s) then mix.that way you know where your strength is and what to use for teas n so on and times. its a time and activity game with organics and autos for full flavor ime. its a good system too. has worked well for me! I used to use the 2.1 masters mix until shit for brains D decided to mess with it,call me a thief and some other crap. ill never buy from that joker.EVER! lmfao! but if you split that by say,30% to start or plant a few trash photos and see how they look that in itslef tells you a lot. if they'll burn or not. worked in the past for me.
