The amount of nutes is less than.. 1-1-1. I flush the soil before using it; but, for other reasons. Add 20% perlite and check for good drainage.Quote:

I guess if I found some Wallymart soil for a similar price and it DIDN'T have the extra MG crap in it, I'd prefer it, but I couldn't be much happier using it. I'm saving a ton of money, and my results are great. You'll find a bunch of people who swear by the FoxFarms et al, and that's fine. I used to use it, and I very well may return to it again some day. You can't argue with a quality product like FoxFarms. But to categorically say that the MG soil is garbage and to rule out using anything but FF, (when you can get great results with an alternative) is just not always necessary.
Your results may vary.
