Hyponex for example is horrible. As for jahoo, moving them like that is fine just keep a really close eye out for bugs. Its easy to contaminate a grow room doing that.
lol did you ever used hortons.i work in DIY store and we have big garden centre and there last year i was messing with PH pens and quess what.PHwas 8.1 with 1 pen and 8.2 with cheap one..so theres deffently a lot of bad soil out there.
and i forget to mention earlier that i ALLWAYS steam my soil.cos years ago i got few bugs with miracle grow and then my mate told me that steam it.i was like that wdf..but yeah ,been doing that years now..and ill just use carpet steamer but just with no chemical.it will kill absolutly anithing what could accually be there..and it only takes like 5 min.just make a hole in a bag stick the nossle in .steam.30 sec take it out..shake the bag and few times like that and you have 100% sterilised soil..and allso i use steam to clean my growboxes time to time.
